Re: Sixx: A.M. To Release Album
I feel ya!. It worked last time. There is likely still some left over music and why not run an album with a new book. Its the same formula that popcorn is using. I remain hopeful that Axl takes advantage of whatever writing talents and note selection DJ has before he puts it all into SixxAM. I will admit I will pick up this new one just to hear how DJ has evolved after being on the road with GnR and learning all thoes songs. Im shure he has learned alot on the road.

Bullshit. Releasing a new book too? Fucking comfort zone...... this is dumb shit
Maybe it's comfort zone but at least Nikki has the guts to release books and or albums unlike other artists that shall remained unnamed. 
And I like Sixx AM so this is cool shit. Can't wait for the album. I'll pass on the book though.

NIKKI SIXX's 'This Is Gonna Hurt' Book: Cover Unveiled, New Release Date Announced - Nov. 11, 2010
HarperCollins imprint William Morrow has set an April 26, 2011 tentative release date for MÖTLEY CRÜE/SIXX: A.M. bassist Nikki Sixx's new book, "This Is Gonna Hurt".
"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 Heroin 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.
In the ARTISTdirect.com interview, Sixx stated about "This Is Gonna Hurt", "We're working on the book right now. It's 99 percent finished. It's exciting for me because it's probably got about 150 of my photographs in it as well, so you start to see the tie-in between who I was as a kid and who I am as an adult and then what happened in that journey and how this fucked up brain of mine works."
The New York Times bestselling author of "The Heroin Dairies", Sixx refuses to become a sanitized PSA for suburban mothers; instead, he has found strength and inspiration in his pain and sobriety, and in this raw and powerful book gives us a glimpse inside his sick and dirty mind.
"I've always had an eye for the oddities in life," said Sixx. "Even as a kid I saw the world in my own way and thought most things that were different were beautiful and magical. Even things that other people thought were horrifying and disgusting and weird. . . . People say I have a distorted lens. I think I see things as they really are."
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."
"This Is Gonna Hurt" includes a foreword by Sixx's ex-girlfriend, 28-year-old tattoo artist Kat Von D (born Katherine Von Drachenberg) on "Love and Inspiration."
Following the success of "The Heroin Diaries", Sixx's new band SIXX: A.M., is recording an album to be released in conjunction with "This Is Gonna Hurt". Some of the songs were inspired by the author's photographs; others inspired photographs of their own.
"This Is Gonna Hurt" will include more than two dozen of Nikki's images. He will incorporate the stories behind the pictures and how they came to be, including interviews with the subjects so readers can see "what life is like for those whom society has labeled as freaks."
