The long-awaited third release from SIXX:A.M., the band comprised of James Michael (vocals), DJ Ashba (guitar) and Nikki Sixx (bass) is entitled Modern Vintage. Produced by James Michael, the album will be available on October 7th with the first single Gotta Get It Right on iTunes now. Watch the video below.
Says bassist Nikki Sixx, “Like our favorite bands from the 1970s, Sixx:A.M. is rooted in songwriting, musicianship and lyrics – three core elements that helped to define that era. Sixx:A.M. has taken even more pages from this book on Gotta Get It Right and the rest of Modern Vintage, having hopefully created a record that demands to be discovered again and again.”
Watch the band discuss the new album in the first of several upcoming behind-the-scenes webisodes at www.sixxammusic.com.
Shares vocalist James Michael, “On the first two albums, Sixx:AM established a musical freedom that few bands get to enjoy. Gotta Get It Right is clearly a birth child of that creative freedom and an exciting next step for us as our goal was to create something which confounds both expectation and categorization”. Adds guitarist DJ Ashba, Gotta Get it Right is a great example of how Sixx:AM has set out to celebrate the music that has influenced us over the years and we truly feel we’ve made a genre defying album with Modern Vintage.”

I always wondered why Nikki never sings on these things. He has a decent rock voice. I don’t know who the vocalist is, but he sounds pretty stock to me.
It’s a catchy poppy tune. Nikki looks kinda out of place playing this kind of music.
I think the song sounds cool. A Queen vibe. Different
Hey Eddie, What are the cops in Hawaii called?
Don’t quote me but I thought someone posted on youtube,that the drummer from the “FOO FIGHTERS” is doing the drum tracks…Think Nikki has always had a cool grasp on song writing from different angles,let the band breathe a little…..
Nikki must be happy as hell to have a real singer to work with.
I can’t say I dig it.
Gotta love how Nikki makes no bones about it all the time that it is a waste of time to make albums in this day and age with the REAL band he formed “by the way that band name is tatooed on my body”
But he will do this, WTF this is horrible!!!
