A Closer Look At James Michael

Sixx AM recently released their latest single, "Are You With Me Now?" which is track 9 of the This Is Gonna Hurt CD and it just got me thinking about some of the talent that went into the making of this album.  Together, the band - Nikki Sixx on bass, DJ Ashba on guitar, and James Michael singing lead for Sixx AM collaborate to make this one of the most inspiring rock albums I have ever owned and listened to.  But today I wanted to focus on James Michael who is also a producer, musician, songwriter, sound engineer, and mixer.  This guy is just amazingly talented!

This Is Gonna Hurt music video

Have you seen it yet? There's a new video out for Sixx AM's "This is Gonna Hurt". Actually it's been out on their YouTube page since August 16th. (Sorry I'm kinda late in posting about it). But I really want you guys to check it out because this song really rocks and the video gives you a glimpse into the making of the book This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography and Life Through the Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx, a New York Times Best Seller. Here's the video:

This Is Gonna Hurt

Since I got my copy of SIXX AM's latest CD early this month, I've been playing it in my car over and over every time I drive to and from work.  I really love this album - even more than I love The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack, their first release.   Like the first album, This Is Gonna Hurt is basically a soundtrack for Nikki Sixx's New York Times best-selling book of the same title.
