Motley Crue Bassist Talks About New Album

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has issued the following update:

"10 songs done for the new Crüe album so far. I'm very proud of the songs, I think we're onto some of the better songs we've had in years... time will tell of course.

A couple of song titles on the Crüe album are called 'A Scar On Hollywood Blvd.', and 'The Saints Of Los Angeles'. As it's been leaked out before, this is no surprise... but the album is called The Dirt and lyrically follows the story of the Mötley Crüe bestseller "The Dirt".

It's challenging and exciting to have to write songs into time capsules spreading over years... I've written a lot of songs with Mick Mars, of course along with James Michael, Marti Frederickson and DJ Ashba... the chemistry in the studio as we're writing is unbelievable. I look forward to leaking some to you all in the next few months.

I haven't gotten anything tattooed in years except "Tag Here" on my toe... I think it's time to step in up, I'm feeling the itch. Kat's gonna do one probably this weekend. I've been wanting to get "Los Angeles" tattooed on me for ages and then the other day I noticed Kat has it on her left shoulder. We both have had so much happen in our lives in this city, why not make it permanent. The band started it here, I've died here, had kids, married and divorced here... my life is "Los Angeles"...

Proudly not smoking still, and still sober 7 years this July... Amazing the decisions you make when you think of others first... and you get that by becoming selfless and that is a huge part of getting to the core of your issues...

What a fucking great year... I can feel it in my bones."
