And the reason people are reacting to that type of a voice is they're angry. They're scared on a global level and a personal level.
It affects them right down to the dinner table. Although the album's message is pretty vague - "act now, before its too late" - protest songs are a rare breed in the current climate. So, do Sixx AM hope other artists will follow suit? Politics has become reality television.
It is ridiculous. It is nothing to be proud about. So how can people not stand up and say 'this is BS'? Although the subject matter is serious, Prayers For The Damned comes packaged with shiny, arena-sized choruses, inspired by Sixx's musical upbringing on bands like T-Rex and Queen. They'll say, 'let's make it aggressive' and they just hit you in the face with a sledgehammer and there's no sugar attached at all. Prayers for the Damned is actually Sixx AM's fourth album.
The second instalment, due this autumn, will be their fifth. Although their previous releases were critically successful, they were prevented from touring them by their day jobs - Sixx with Motley Crue, Michael as an in-demand producer and guitarist DJ Ashba as part of Guns N' Roses touring line-up. This time around, they've cleared their diaries and are busily booking months on the road, gigging like teenagers at the start of their career. But that's how we started! The group are particularly excited by concerts they've branded "prayer sessions", where they turn up in a "random city and play to 50 people".

Based on Sixx's book of the same name, the record took an unflinching look at his drug and drink addictions, including a near-fatal overdose in The stage version was originally planned for , but Sixx insists it hasn't been cancelled. He hopes to cast an actor in the role of Nikki Sixx soon. I don't care if they're talented!
It was really a great opportunity to kind of live them, and shine a different light on them. I think that on this record, there are a couple of songs that would actually be categorised as love songs. Although Sixx:A. As was the case with Sixx:A.
In addition to that, the musicianship in this band is really strong. People are gonna be surprised at the bass lines, the work that Nikki has done on this record as far as bass performance. The singer is arguably better known in a production capacity, as opposed to standing behind the microphone. I think I got that from my father, who was a visual artist. He was a painter, so he told his stories on canvas.
Back to your question about being a singer, though. When I get to the end of making a Sixx:A. A music video was filmed for the track. It has the dark, brooding verses, and then the chorus that just really explodes and soars.
And as well, a music video for that specific track is in the pipeline.
