Add “record label president” to the Nikki Sixx resume, as the Motley Crue/Sixx: A.M. bassist steps in as the new chief of Eleven Seven Records. Sixx is stoked at the opportunity, and is a hands-on label executive, working with bands in the studio and in plotting everything from their image to their touring.

“I find it very interesting to take the artist’s craft, the art, the music, the image, and get it out there,” he says. “It comes under the heading of ‘record company president,’ but it’s a little more than that.” Here Sixx, talks with Billboard about his newest gig, dirty rock’n'roll, and what’s up with the Crue.

“Working with bands in the studio and in plotting everything from their image to touring”…This should be interesting.

“As the producer of three MÖTLEY CRÜE albums over a four-year period, I found Sixx’s allegation that in the recording studio he did ‘all the work’ with Vince Neil’s vocals while I chatted idly on the phone not only humorous but pure fiction.

“If this distortion of reality is the result of Sixx’s past heroin habit, then his diary is truly nothing more than a pipe dream, and the events to which this book refers may simply be the needle-induced fantasies of an attention-starved junkie.”

What part of Solo Careers and Motley Crue Members just don’t mix, don’t you understand. Vince Neil should have told you…it doesn’t work. Tommy Lee should have told you three time, (Mothers Of Mayhem…pppbbbbbbbb! Tommy Lee…ppppbbbbb!, Supernova…ppppbbbb.) It doesn’t work. If Mick Mars had a solo career it’s obvious that it didn’t work cause I haven’t heard of his yet..perhaps he’s the only one that figured that algorithm out. But it just may have been the fact that his bone disorder kept him from pursuing a dead end solo career. I don’t know. Brides of destruction sucked, that should have been Sixx’s first clue. Even Motley Crue with a new singer failed, we all know that!

Sixx A.M. Is not as bad as I imagined it was going to be…but it was still bad. So I say, stick to what works. Motley Crue works. Even if your touring doing all the old shit. Its still better than dumping a boatload of money into a solo career that goes nowhere. Sure sometimes you have to take risks in life, but at the same time you need to learn from others downfalls. I give you a big fat valley girl HELLOOOO!

To the media thats giving him all this coverage. I guess its cool to flaunt addicts these days because addiction sells. Dave Mustaine had a heroin addiction for year and years that he wasn’t proud of it and when he finally kicked it he didn’t have a press conference. He may have written a few songs about it but in no way was he proud of it. Most people that have addictions just want to put it behind them and tear that chapter out of their book of life, not cash in on it. Grow up, your 49 years old, for christ sake! There are a million people out there that have kicked addiction. Should we give them a book deal? Oh thats right, we only give celebrity addicts book deals because that makes things interesting. Does it? I had a friend that turned himself and his wife into heroin addicts and ended up losing custody of their child because of it and then he died from an overdose. Did I find that interesting? No, in fact I don’t think he would have wanted it publicized, but his wife is sober as far as I know and she has custody of their daughter. It’s real…not real TV!

They should just write a new book about the whole band called “Addicts, Murderers, and Porn Stars”. Its sad what sells these days…and by the way…your hair cut is as bad as your record!
