Sixx A.M - The heroin Diaries soundtrack

i bought this book after seeing the show about it on FUSE. Absolutely amazing book and had to get this CD. I'm not a huge CRUE fan although I love the first 2 albums. This CD is amazing from beginning to end. I think anybody who has ever struggled with any drug addiction can appreciate his words in the book and on the album. Drugs don't discriminate. They don't care how rich, poor, young, old, fat, skinny, short or tall you are. They don't care what color you are, they will grab you.

Anyway, the music is amazing. The heartfelt lyrics are like none I've ever heard. We need more albums with feelings like this.

And eyesore, I don't care if there is already a thread about it on the 15th page.

Nobody's heard this?

Yea I have it too, it's a very moving soundtrack, I don't know about the whole addiction struggle as it hasn't effected me thank god, but I found it comforting in the since of loosing someone close to you. silly maybe but that's what I felt. don't mean it in the sence of the lyrics just the musical output

It's good, but it hasn't really grabbed me much. I'll agree that the portrayal of drug addiction is very brutal and realistic. All props to Nikki for doing this.

if you were ever weak enough to fall into them.

I really dig this CD. Musically it's pretty tight and the lyrics bite to the bone. Just so happens my niece is going through a period of addiction so the lyrics have really touched me.

I bought the book when it was first released. Good read. I got the soundtrack for Christmas. Pretty good stuff. It's a cool companion piece to the book, but a fine listen on it's own.

Don't care much for the CD and that single they keep force feeding everyone on the radio is annoying IMO. The only time I listen to the radio is at the gym, and yet I hear that stinkin' song every day.

Just open your eyes, just open yours, and see that life is beautiful.
...would you swear on your life, that no one would cry, at my funeral...

BLECH!

Would like to read the book though. I enjoy those types of biographies. I've read many of them. My favorite would be "White Line Fever" about the life of Lemmy.

The song you hate is my favorite from the album. It's a very modern rock radio song, but I like it and I'm happy the album has been a commercial success. James Michael has a great voice and did an awesome job on 'Life Is Beautiful'. I just looked him up online... I didn't realize he had a hand in co-writing a bunch of songs for Scorpions' Humanity Hour I album.

The album as a whole is kinda disjointed for me, it's decent, but didn't make my 'Best Of' list. There's a few good tracks on it though.

The book is pretty good, it's not as engrossing as an actual (auto)biography because of the format, but it is still a very interesting look into Nikki's mind in those days. I do wonder how much of it actually was written during that time though and what was added as filler (if anything was added at all) to make it a book.

I have the soundtrack and think it is very good. I am impressed. It is modern sounding and I like it. What really gets my attention is the amount of emotion that is captured on this disk. The songs pull you into the story.

I had it and I recognized the songs as good, but they didn't grab me.

And wouldn't you know, as I am working out at the gym yesterday, this song comes on again! Made me think of this thread.

I don't know that the song completely sucks, so much as I am sick of hearing it. The song comes off as a bit whiney to me. Between this and the AC/DC wannabe band, Airbourne, Clear Channel Communications keeps pushing, I am not sure which I am more sick of.

Why would Airbourne want to be AC/DC? That would mean they'd only release a CD every 6 or 7 years or so.

i have high respect for nikkie sixx but this cd did nothing for me

Come on guys can't you see right through this whole fume huffing book/project/soundtrack by that pretender Nikki Sixx.

Theres nothing sincere about it, it's just another way for Nikki to prove how "bad ass" and "rock n' roll" he is/was. A total boast smokescreened by a supposedly sincere "Stay of the dope kids" kind of message.

All my thoughts were confirmed about this Nikki Sixx character when i read this little passage in his book. Nikki Sixx to Lemmy, "Why isn't my face on the front of t-shirts like Johnny Thunders?"
That comment shows right their that he is interested in infamy (through drug abuse) more than anything else.

You don't get it Nikki, rock n' roll isn't about copping a hairstyle, acquiring a smack problem, acting like a d*ck etc.

As for the soundtrack, if i wan't to hear an album about someone in the throes of heroin addiction than give me Lou Reed's Berlin anyday.

I couldn't give a crap about the book, but this CD is excellent. For what it is, the songs are excellent.

I've only heard the Life Is Beautiful song. I like the song but it is getting overplayed.
