Artist: sixx am

The Revolver Golden Gods Awards event is totally fun, so it's a bummer that every metalhead - from the most cynical tr00ist to the cheeriest rock animal - can't attend to party among our heavy metal heavyweights. But hurrah! this year's celebration and performances are beaming to your home via livecast (here)! Fuck yeah, dude! [...]

Tonight is the United States' biggest heavy metal award show - well, really, the United States' only heavy metal award show - The Revolver Golden Gods Awards. As you can see from the above poster, this year's show will feature performances by such 110% relevant artists as Marilyn Manson, Slash, and Black Veil Brides. Yipee! So [...]

Every year, the Revolver Golden Gods Awards ends up being the biggest party of the year when it comes to metal. We always run into a lot of big names on the red black carpet. The last few years a truncated version of the show has aired on either VH1 Classic or MTV2. They would ...

"Hey Nikki? You're on with Vince Neilstein." The above line was actually uttered by someone on Motley Crue's management/label/PR team when they connected me with Nikki Sixx for an interview this past Friday. PR girl chuckled at the absurdity of the moment while I became flush with embarrassment, and I'm pretty sure Nikki didn't notice [...]

Man, I really, really hope that some day, some Korean animators see fit to make a short about MetalSucks. And that it is one-eighth as awesome as the above video. ANYWAY, here's how we kept ourselves entertained this week: We debuted new music by Revocation, White Arms of Athena, Goreaphobia, and Sixx A.M. We did not [...]

Let us not speak too poorly of the legandary: Axl and Vince saw Motley Crue in Long Island the other night and had a helluva time. The Crue still know how to put on a highly entertaining live show, even if Tommy Lee's ridiculously awesome drum rollercoaster was punctuated by cringe-inducing shouts of "yeeeeahh, bitch!" [...]

American Idol's James Durbin talks about the tour, working on his album, and his advice for the soon-to-be season 11 contestants.

Butt rock reigns yet again, with Seether nabbing the top spot for the second week in a row. Boris and Cave In cracked the Top Hard Music charts with their new albums (hooray!), while Hollywood Undead and Asking Alexandria actually experienced sales gains for the first time since their new records debuted a few weeks [...]

Seether are still around? Apparently they are, and apparently they still sell buttloads of records. While Seether nabbed the top spot on the Top Hard Music chart, Scar Symmetry also had a good debut, as did, um, Vampires Everywhere. Foo Fighters, Hollywood Undead, Black Label Society and others are still selling lots of records too. [...]

Foo Fighters fans fretting that Wasting Light would relinquish its hold on the meaningless Soundscan charts after dropping to #2 last week after three debut weeks at #1... fret not, as Dave Grohl and co. are back up top! This week's #2 comes in the form of a big surprise, as Zack Wylde's Black Label [...]

It is so crazy that Mama Adele is still selling the volume she is with her sophomore effort, 21 . Did I mention that she is STILL on her 1st single off that record and still increased her sales this week by 26%. She has not even launched her US tour yet and is still selling like hotcakes. Take note Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyoncé, & Britney Spears . You heard right, FIRST SINGLE. Good Music goes a long way! Maybe other artists & labels should actually pay attention to that. With [...]

The Foo Fighters and Hollywood Undead were finally toppled from their respective #1 and #2 spots last week after holding down the fort in that order for three straight weeks prior (with Hollywood Undead at #1 the week before Foo Fighters' debut), but rest assured, they're still at #2 and #3 and show no signs [...]

This week the upper reaches of the Billboard Top 200 get a spring-cleaning overhaul, as eight new albums crash into the Top 10 and push out artists like Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Foo Fighters and Chris Brown . But let's get real — that's hardly enough to dislodge Adele's sturdy 21 , which is the #1 LP in the country for a seventh non-consecutive week after selling another 155,000 copies. Billboard points out that Adele has now spent the second-longest number of week's [...]

The challenge for tireless bullshitters like Nikki Sixx, Max Cavalera, Dave Mustaine, Steven Tyler, and Sammy Hagar is overcoming audience immunity. Know what I mean? With every distorted remembrance and self-aggrandizing observation, the shit-talker's would-be customers (i.e. us) build a resistance to his line of artlessly cloaked sales-speak and attention-mongering. So the leg-puller succumbs to [...]

Sixx A.M.'s new album This is Gonna Hurt is on track to sell about a billion copies, in today's relative terms, in its first week of release. Better yet, the album is actually good; like it's predecessor The Heroin Diaries, the new album is full of big hard rock riffs that don't evoke Theory of [...]

News Sixx A.M.'s new album This is Gonna Hurt is on track to sell about a billion copies, in today's relative terms, in its first week of release. Better yet, the album is actually good; like it's predecessor The Heroin Diaries, the new album is full of big hard rock riffs that don't evoke Theory of [...]

One of the many members of the metal elite that our pals at Metal Injection got to interview on the Black Carpet at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards last week was Dj Ashba, current guitar player for both Guns N' Roses and Sixx A.M. (He's like the most in-demand musician of 1989!) Ashba was accompanied [...]

Win a copy of Nikki Sixx's forthcoming photo journal, This Is Gonna Hurt as well as the accompanying soundtrack by SIXX:AM

Well, we haven't done one of these in awhile. Let's see if any of this shit isn't shit. First up is Rotten Sound's video for "Hollow," which had its premiere on The Deciblog. Now THIS is a great fucking video. Not only is the song br00tal, but the clip is just... well, I don't give [...]

One day mankind will go extinct and the remains of our civilization will later be picked over by aliens. Though they can speedily assemble collections of most homo erectus artifacts for their alien museums, their super-brains will struggle to grasp and group the arts of Earth, y'know, for their encyclopedias and stuff. So it's in [...]
