Sixx: AM Soundtrack to a book?!

My friend posted a link to Sixx: AM myspace page. I saw it was Nikki Sixx and the soundtrack to his autobiography, Nikki Sixx: The Heroin Diaries. My first reaction, was...what the hell? I already read the book, and I didn't hear any of these songs playing while I was reading it. A soundtrack for a book sounds like a bunch of bullshit. Well, each of the 13 tracks coincide with a chapter of the diary.

But hell, with the music industry on the downfall, I guess you gotta market your music in other ways. Sixx AM consists of DJ Ashba (Beautiful Creatures) and James Michael, a multi-platinum music producer (Alanis Morissette, Hilary Duff, Meatloaf, Saliva?!) I have never been a Motley Crue fan, but Nikki Sixx had some interesting things going on in his autobiography. None of it was nearly as wonderful as Slash's life-story, whom I love.

But check out the "soundtrack" for yourself. Dead Mans Ballet reminds me of a Meatloaf song, Pray For Me sounds like rock n' roll, Life is Beautiful is probably good live. eh...whatever.
