Dear friends,

I hope you will consider joining me and some of my favorite Girls, Girls, Girls, at the beautiful Pete Dye and Fred Couples designed Lost Canyons Golf Club in Simi Valley, California for the 14th Annual Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament, being held on Friday, May 7th, 2010!

In 1995, I lost my daughter Skylar to cancer. Since then, I have been committed to doing everything I can to raise awareness and much needed funding for children’s illnesses. To date, my Skylar Neil Foundation has donated nearly two million dollars to various children’s charities, doing important work and research. I am very proud of all we have been able to achieve over the last dozen years.

We have been extremely fortunate to have corporations like Quality One Wireless, Budweiser, Eagle Auto Warranty, FARA Insurance Services, Dynamic Marketing, Thrifty Car Rental, Ralph’s Food-For-Less, The Anthony H. Kruse Foundation ESP Guitars and others provide us with generous financial contributions. Companies like Jägermeister, Monster Energy, Crocs Shoes, Taylor Made, Ray-Ban, Callaway Golf, EA Sports and more have donated some great products for our gift bags and prizes. Other fine companies like Playboy, Hooters, Hawaiian Tropic, Hustler Hollywood, Vivid Video, Wicked Pictures, New Beginnings, Red Light District, Pure Play Media, Evil Angel and Zero Tolerance have even sent out a few “company reps” to greet our golfers, making the day quite enjoyable!

If you are interested in sponsoring, or if you would like to donate an item to our gift bags, auction or raffle, please contact tournament coordinators Alan Koenig at 615-972-1600 (or via email at alan@ask4entertainment.com) or Jon Scott at 818-981-9876 (or via email at jonpaulscott@gmail.com) to discuss these and many other ways you can get involved.

If you are interested in playing in the tournament, please complete and return the golfer registration form as soon as possible. We sell out very quickly every year. Individual and team entries are reserved with payment only, on a first come – first served basis.

Eradicating childhood illness is a cause that is near and dear to my heart, so I hope that you will find it in yours to become a part of the 14th Annual Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament.

All the best,

Vince Neil, fresh off the Motley Crue Canadian DEAD OF WINTER tour, celebrated his 49th birthday (Feb 8th) at his bar FEELGOOD’S in Las Vegas. The Vince Neil Solo band treated fans to a night of kickass rock n roll they won’t soon forget. During the festivities, Vince Neil’s son Neil Wharton presented his father with a ‘feelgood’ themed cake.

Vince is taking very little time to rest up before hitting the road with his solo band. He also expects to drop his new solo CD later this spring and his book, later this year.

Motley Crue may be off the road for a while, but Vince will keep rockin out with his solo band. Dates are as followed

Motley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx on his new radio shows — and his new addiction

Buyer beware

Years ago an unauthorized biography called “An Education in Rebellion” was written about me without my approval or support.  It was never endorsed.  In fact, I disapproved and considered legal action because I felt fans were getting ripped off by being sold a book without my involvement.  I feel fans have bought it under the assumption that I approved of it because the writers have collected interviews from people that make it seem relevant – these people who were interviewed have told me afterwards that they had no idea that their conversations were being used for an unauthorized book.  I want to say that I do not, now or ever, approve of people riding the coattails of other people’s hard work and personal lives – this is criminal in my opinion.  This is no different than what the paparazzi does or the gossipy crap that perches like vultures on our newsstands with magazines like the National Enquirer.

The writer and publisher are now “re-releasing” the book with updated information based on my success with Mötley Crüe, Sixx: A.M., The Heroin Diaries and other ventures I’m involved in.  It’s scummy at best to be honest.  My attorneys have already sent them legal letters directing them to stop but they know the loop holes and how to get around them.  Believe it or not, the law allows anyone to write a book about anyone else without getting proper permission which is really crazy because my fans think this was endorsed or approved by me and it’s not.  This is sad.   These people are now partnering up with a company to sell ownership rights to the book’s master rights even though they are my life rights — again, bordering on scum.  As a fan of music I do not buy anything unauthorized because I know, unless the artist signs off on it, its hearsay, gossip, and made up to pad the pockets of the writers, publishers, etc.  Their website gives people the false impression that these “auctions” have the fans buying some portion of revenues that go to artists or songwriters.  In my case at least, nothing could be further from the truth.  Nothing comes to me or my family.  It’s hurtful.

It’s this kind of thing that makes me even more excited to do the Sixx Sense radio show.  I look forward to shining a spotlight on issues like this one — issues that go unnoticed and issues that may otherwise slip through the cracks.

In the end I worry about the fans being ripped off.  I cannot (nor can any of my friends in the public eye) stop these bottom feeders.   If you want to know about Mötley Crüe, get The Dirt.  If you want to know about band members, get their individual books, but don’t support this type of behavior on this or any artists…. they say they’re excited to share this with fans and that may be so, but if it’s not about the money… then donate it to charity…

Thank You,

Nikki Sixx

REGINA  — Mere moments before the curtain dropped before Motley Crue’s highly anticipated show at the Brandt Centre on the band’s “Dead of Winter Tour,” a wall of fire and loud cannon blasts alerted the crowd that this was no Lawrence Welk concert.

After knocking the crowd collectively back a foot or two, the heavy metal quartet took the stage at 10:05 p.m. to the delirious cheers of a nearly full house. The sonic blasts and fire were a recurring event throughout the Los Angeles band’s set, which was to be expected due to their grandiose nature.

Starting their set with the 1989 smash “Kick Start My Heart,” the crowd roared appreciatively as vocalist Vince Neil belted out the opening notes and drummer Tommy Lee wailed on his oversized drum kit.

The stage set up was relatively minimalist compared to previous tours, though was more than compensated by the immense lighting and pyrotechnic production. A standard full-sized stage, the Crue had the left side of the stage packed with a pyro rig that periodically shot off fireworks, flames, and multiple sonic booms during the set. Eschewing the use of LCD screens or any video, the backdrop was a rather understated silver and charcoal, which would be lit up in various colors by the lights during the set.

Lee’s kick drum was at least four or five feet tall and adorned with gears and flywheels, while guitarist Mick Mars had 12 Marshall cabinets, stacked 2×6 high, taking up much of the right side of the stage.

Musically, the Crue were tight as a vise, as Mars and bassist Nikki Sixx wailed on their guitars, and Lee further cemented his status as one of the best drummers of his generation. Neil was solid, as per usual, as the 48-year old vocalist is great at what he does, but struggles with the high notes more than he did in his heyday.

Regardless, this was meant to be a gritty rock concert, not American Idol, so no one seemingly noticed, nor cared.

One of the more interesting points of the set came when Sixx, widely considered to be the heart and soul of the metal mavens, took the mike during one interlude and asked the crowd to loudly repeat after him the following: “God, please help Motley Crue from self-destructing so they can come back next year for their 30th anniversary tour.”

Understandably, the arena went wild as it dawned on them that the super group would likely be back soon.

For those familiar with the bands’ troubled past, having dealt with much infighting, substance abuse, and personal suffering and loss, it was a heartfelt moment that gave promise that the foursome had found happier times. In fact, the guys, who at times had gone years without having meaningful conversation, seemed to be quite pleased to be in each other’s company throughout.

The set was a fair length at 82 minutes including an encore that included Lee helming a piano at the start and conclusion of “Home Sweet Home,” before the Crue ended the evening with a rousing rendition of “Dr. Feelgood.”

While one could argue that the absence of some of the hits and a more elaborate stage show could be a sign of the group pulling some of their punches before launching the big guns next year on their anniversary tour, it really seemed like the group was focusing on stripping things to the basics.

At the heart of it, Thursday’s Motley Crue show was exactly what people thought they were paying for — a loud, fiery, and fun rock concert.
