Nikki Sixx On Planet Rock

Nikki Sixx dropped by the studio a couple of weeks ago to talk about his new book This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography, And Life Through The Distorted Lens Of Nikki Sixx, and about the excellent brand new Sixx:AM album, This Is Gonna Hurt.

During the interview, which you can hear at 8pm, Nikki also discusses Crue's forthcoming tour with Poison and his band's future plans.

This Is Gonna Hurt is "part photo, part journal - but all Nikki Sixx. It is a collection of compelling snapshots and stories that capture the rage, love, optimism, darkness,and determination that shape his work. Told with the raw authenticity that defined his New York Times bestseller The Heroine Diaries, This Is Gonna Hurt chronicles Sixx's experience, from his early years filled with toxic waste to his success with Mötley Crüe, his death from an OD and rebirth to his addictions to music, photography, and love. Love story, bad-ass rock tell-all, social commentary, family memoir, This Is Gonna Hurt offers the compelling insights of an artist and a man struggling to survive, connect, and find a happy ending-a search that fuels Sixx's being. "I want to take you on the journey I am on, in real time," Sixx writes. "If you don't deal with your demons, they will deal with you, and it's gonna hurt.""
