Viral hip-hop star Spanian was in a vicious vortex of crime, violence, incarceration and drug addiction and heading for total annihilation when the artist within emerged, not just giving his life new meaning and purpose, but damn well saving it.īy the time he was twelve, Spanian knew he would follow his family's footsteps to become a career criminal.

The Heroin Diaries comes off more like an affectless pity party than a walk on the wild side.

("Permission" may even be Sixx's first stab at getting airplay on CMT.) The true rockers, far too slender in number, are half-realized and pallid the lyrics are overly diaristic (yes) and fail to live up to Sixx's vintage street sophistication ("Dancing on Glass" and "Kickstart My Heart". (If anyone cares that much-this is rock & roll, after all, and not Oprah.) Instead, Sixx dresses the songs in the trappings of contemporary pop so that "Tomorrow," "Life is Beautiful" and "Accidents Can Happen" sound like lite imitations of the lesser bands that have captured the public's imagination in the wake of the Crüe's inexplicable absence from the recording studio.

Perhaps Sixx didn't want to romanticize addiction and ill behavior by unleashing a series of rockers that would send fists high in the air and let the spirit, at least for a moment, soar while the listener struggled to better understand the seductive lure of dependence and decadence. The Heroin Diaries (the soundtrack to Nikki Sixx's addiction memoir of the same name) sounds nothing like the music that catapulted Nikki Sixx into the limelight (and, presumably, the dank and dark underground of addiction) with Mötley Crüe more than 20 years ago. The tour began on July 1, 2008, in West Palm Beach, Florida. announced they would be touring as part of Mötley Crüe's Crüe Fest, along with Papa Roach, Buckcherry, and Trapt. The tour was scheduled to start in spring 2008, but had been postponed to the summer due to unforeseeable circumstances.On April 15, 2008, Sixx:A.M. After constant support for the band and interest in a tour, they held a nationwide vote for tour dates. Originally the group stated they had no intention of touring.

At the time of this show Glen Sobel was on tour drumming with Elliott Yamin. Former Beautiful Creatures drummer Glen Sobel ended up playing on tour with the band.

Due to this, there was some curiosity as to who would be playing drums for them live. The album had no drummer, because lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist James Michael programmed all the drums with samples. They performed five songs from the album, The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack. The band made their live debut at Crash Mansion on July 16, 2007. The band released The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack in 2007, which is based upon Sixx's novel, The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star. is a hard rock/heavy metal band formed in 2007 by Nikki Sixx, DJ Ashba, and James Michael.
