Sixx:A.M.

Ok so I saw the guys on 5-13-16 in FortWayne Indiana at what I would at best call a dive bar, small dark and gritty a place you would think a rock band would feel at home in. I have to say I was really excited to see the band and even sprang for sound check tickets. There was an issue getting my e-mail for the sound check but it was easily resolved and Kim at venue check in was great. I enjoyed the sound check , it was a great experience the guys were funny during Q&A . Now about the show I really hate to say this but about half way through the show I felt like the guys were doing a really poor job of even trying to phone it in. I should clarify that James Michael's voice was in great form but there wasn't much enthusiasm coming from Nikki Sixx or D.J. Ashba. You know it's not going well when girls are leaving the stage area to go back to the bar "because the sound is better". The after show acoustic behind the bus was one song "Rise" and after it James was motioning that he was done. A hand motion across the throat let us all know he was not into it. Possible a picture posted by Nikki Sixx to his Instagram account prior to the show could have summed up how he felt about the show before it even started, it was a photo of a nasty toilet backstage. Don't get me wrong SIXX:A.M. Makes great music but this was not a great show. Would I see them again?Yes without hesitation but it was what it was. I guess I was hoping for a better vibe in a small venue.

Sixx: A.M. I wonder who on earth that could be? Anymore clues? They’re based in Los Angeles, California. Gotta be Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue then? A pat on the back for me. I think it’s fantastic that he keeps it all of these other side projects going aside from Motley Crue, who of course do take many hiatuses – so why not. This performance is filled with a variety of singles from throughout their career, starting with “Pray for Me”. It is a very energetic crowd this evening, with the support from a lot of Motley Crue fans of course. Who are drinking from the moment that they walk in, lining the bars and already taking shots of tequila. –When in Rome.
“Are You With Me Now” creates a ruckus amount of applause amongst this horde of people. “Tomorrow” is an anthem amongst this audience with every word being sang at the top of their voices complete with fists in the air to each syllable of each chorus. The riffs are what make their sound so memorable too, they are the parts of the songs that everyone goes away singing nice and loud as they leave walking down sunset strip.

Californian hard rock outfit Sixx:A.M may have only formed in 2007 yet since then they have gone to be compared to some of the all time guitar greats in reference to their live show. With three incredibly talented musicians, including the bassist of Mötley Crüe James Michael, they go about creating momentous walls of sound that fill arenas with ease.

With three albums released so far, they hand select the tracks that they believe best demonstrates their musical abilities and have designed a live show around these. The visuals, pyrotechnics and lighting all compliment the gigantic atmosphere that the band intends to illustrate their sound. The sheer scale of 'Tomorrow' could make your head spin and you have to remember at points that it is just three musicians creating all of this music. The piercing guitar riffs travel around the venue rapidly and are met by roars of approval from the audience and by the final exhaustive instrumentals of 'Life Is Beautiful' neither the audience or the band seems ready to call it a night.

While I love Sixx:A.M. & their music, the Fort Wayne venue, Pieres, is terrible for concerts. The sound quality is terrible, viewing is terrible, over-crowded, & too hot. The band played well with a lot of enthusiasm. The best part is Nikki Sixx often tweets to followers to meet them by the bus after the show & to bring your cameras. We were fortunate to have Sixx:A.M. do this accoustic performance out back, by their bus after the show. They only played one song, but it was awesome. DJ Ashba did take time to sign autographs & take photos with everyone that was there for the accoustic after-show. Thank you DJ. I wish Nikki Sixx & James Michael would've stayed around a little longer to sign autographs too. We carried Nikki's 2 books all evening in hopes of him signing them, no luck. I guess that the difference between being a "rock star" (Nikki Sixx) or very humble (DJ Ashba). We still love you Nikki, but next time an autograph please.

Hmmmmm what can I say I have been a fan of Nikki Sixx since the early 80's need I say more?? The whole concept of Motley leaving my life was beyond what I could comprehend, so filling that gap came way before I had to deal with that reality thanks to Sixx A.M., as of this date I have seen Sixx A.M. 4 times and they never disappoint me or the crazies on the floor beside me. The Abbotsford B.C. show was the first time for VIP with James and DJ but meeting Nikki this was my 3rd time, the meet and greet could have been more than 2 minutes without the crew saying hurry up but overall the band was smelling good and loved their fans. The show itself with Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch and Ashes to New was one of the best shows I have seen since 1983 for US Fest in Cali....so if you want my review you shouldn't need it as Sixx A.M. music speaks for itself...Respect.

I saw Sixx A.M in Toronto and it was an Intimate and Interactive concert. They spoke to the crowd like we had all been friends for 30 years. AMAZING CONCERT, AMAZING BAND MEMBERS, AMAZING NIGHT. I have been a Nikki Sixx fan since Motley Crue first came out so its been a long long time and Nikki, DJ, James, Dustin, Amber and Melissa are nothing shy of an amazing gift to everyone who gets to hear them. I will be a Sixx A.M fan listening and seeing them live till my dieing day. Xo

Great show, good energy! The sound was awesome! Everyone on stage looked like they were having a great time. It's amazing to me that Nikki will be 58 next month - bass sounded great, and sexy as ever. James is a born front man and helped connect the band with the audience. DJ was fabulous, of course. Such a good show man and excellent guitar player. Drumming was perfect and the ladies added a little extra to round out the show. Can't wait to see them again!

Once again, the guys did not disappoint! The show was amazing!! Classics were covered, new music was covered, nothing was left out!! They put on one hell of a show!!! I had the most amazing luck to meet James and Dustin before the show, get their autographs and actually chat and take a few photos. They are such great guys, laid back, and truly love their fans!! If I had the time and money, I would probably follow them on tour, that's how great it is!

Wow! Sixx:A.M. just keeps getting better and better! James Michael's voice is so freaking amazing!!! DJ Ashba. Need I say more? Amazing. And of course, Sixx is still playing his heart out! This band has proven that they are here to rock your world (or at least they did mine!). It is definitely worth the time and money to see and hear them live. Saw them this year at Welcome to Rockville and then Duluth, GA. I love this band!!!

Sixx am is the shit!!! I loved their performance. I would love to see a concert where sixxam is the headline band, so I can see and hear more of them. I loved the guitarist the most because of all his tricks and faces he made and solos he did,especially the solos I loved them the most. I'll diffently be seeing you guys again soon. Come back too Oshawa soon. Haha
