Hello from the road…

I am sorry I haven’t written to you all in a while in the form of a “blog” but it seems the instant contact back and forth of twitter has gotten the best of me too. Well that and the fact that I’ve been finishing a new book, a new Sixx: A.M. album of songs, a Motley Crue tour, a radio show, press, a clothing line, and lets not forget the most important thing I do in life is being a father of four. So excuses aside, how are you? Is your summer full of positive energy as we slowly head towards the Fall? My favorite creative time of year, but this summer has been fruitful for sure.

I wanted to thank all of the fans that came out to Europe to see Motley Crue play this summer. It was one of the best times of my life. Not only were the crowds great but I also had such a wonderful time having Kat along with me for the whole tour. We soaked in your beautiful countrysides and foods together. Her new season of LA INK just premiered and for her to take time out of her equally busy life (including planning her book tour) was something I was just blown away by. I know a lot of you got to meet her and that made her happy too… Again thank you Europe. I fell in love with you all over again.

I did the SIXX SENSE radio show from the road and that was fun but I miss being in the studio with the team with all that energy and creativity flowing. So I look forward to being back in Los Angeles but for now Motley and Ozzy are heading out for 6 co-headline OZZFEST shows and I’ll be doing the radio show from backstage. God knows what opportunity for insanity will arise from that. I told you guys I would take you with me wherever I go with SIXX SENSE and THE SIDESHOW COUNTDOWN. So far you’ve been to Europe with me, now OZZFEST, and not to mention ROCK ON THE RANGE and STURGIS last night. I’ve been having a blast sending quick updates from my twitter account to you all. It’s so fast and on the fly compared to writing out longer replies, so for QUICK updates and opinions on everything from what we’re playing that night in the show to backstage band banter follow me there… www.twitter.com/nikkisixx

I wanted to tell you a couple cool things that give me a buzz doing our clothing line ROYAL UNDERGROUND. We get these calls into the office and they remind you why you do what you do and that you’re still a fan of real fucking rockstars. Ozzy calls and says he loves Royal’s black jeans and can he buy more, Steven Tyler says he wants to wear Royal on tour, Paul Stanley buys our stuff right off the rack when I told him I would give him stuff… The list goes on of rockers who are fans of ROYAL UNDERGROUND and, to be honest, we are fans of theirs… Sometimes chills keep us forging ahead, following what we love. I always say do what you love and the rest of the stuff just works itself out.. If ya wanna keep abreast of what were doing follow us at… www.twitter.com/royalarmy or you can go to www.royalunderground.net

Quick update…

Sixx: A.M. Almost finished…My new book with the tentative title “THIS IS GONNA HURT” is almost done.Tommy, Mars, and myself are excited to get together later this year and start pounding out some new CRUE ideas for the future…

P.S. There is some stuff up this old dog’s sleeve that’s gonna keep you VERY entertained and I promise you won’t be disappointed…I’ve got more fucking energy than I have had in 30 years. Thank you for letting me share my life and creativity with you.

More to come… More to come…

Vince Neil- Tattoo's and Tequila

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,

According to Billboard.com, Veteran rock band  Mötley Crüe is second among the current list of Hot Tours based on totals from its Dead of Winter Canadian Tour that played 10 cities during January and February (Billy Joel and Elton John’s ‘Face To Face’ tour is #1).  Totals from eight of those concerts were reported during the past week with an overall gross of $2.8 million ($3 million Canadian) earned at the box office.  Of those eight shows, the top attendance came at Edmonton’s Rexall Place, home arena for the NHL’s Oilers.  The Jan. 27 event produced over half-a-million Canadian dollars in gross ticket sales.  The band’s short Canadian trek follows a busy 2009 on the road beginning with last year’s Saints of Los Angeles Tour in North America and Europe as well as the second consecutive summer Crüe Fest Tour that played July through September.

Coming in 3rd place is Guns N’ Roses featuring Axl Rose and new guitarist, DJ Ashba from Sixx:A.M.  With six venues submitting totals during the most recent reporting period, combined grosses topped $2.6 million (over $2.7 million Canadian).  The 17,500-seat arena Rexall Place in Edmonton produced the band’s top gross and attendance on Jan. 17 just as it did for  Mötley Crüe 10 days later.

A new album from Sixx:A.M. is expected sometime this year.  Tonight (Feb 18th), you can listen to Nikki Sixx (Bassist) and James Michael (Vocals) on the Nikki’s new radio show SIXX SENSE. Nikki and James will be discussing the upcoming Sixx:A.M. album.  Fans can listen to SIXX SENSE at www.sixxsense.com.

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
