Press release:
SongVest, the company that reinvented music memorabilia by auctioning song rights directly to fans, has announced the first-ever online auction of book rights by offering access to the royalty stream of the forthcoming re-issue 'An Education in Rebellion: The Biography of Nikki Sixx.' The auction will take place exclusively at songvest.com from November 15-22 in advance of the book's Spring 2010 retail release.
SongVest has partnered with book publisher Rock 'N' Roll Books to offer a 30% ownership share in the book's master rights. In addition to sharing in the royalty stream the retail and e-sales generate, the high bidder will also receive a one-of-a-kind platinum album, an 'Associate Publisher' credit in the book's printing, and an exclusive behind-the-scenes bonus DVD featuring interview excerpts from many rock luminaries interviewed exclusively for the book including band members John Corabi and Tommy Lee, legendary Motley Crue album producers Bob Rock and Tom Werman, hard rock diva Lita Ford, former London bandmate Lizzy Grey, Quiet Riot's late frontman Kevin Dubrow, late recovery counselor Bob Timmons, and many others.
"We've updated the original '03 release through 2009, with coverage of Motley Crue's massively successful comeback trek in 2004/5, the launch of Cruefest I & 2, Nikki's clothing business with Royal Underground, and solo success with side-project Sixx:AM & the Heroin Diaries to create by far the most comprehensive independent study of the wildly colorful life and times of Motley Crue founder/chief songwriter Nikki Sixx. We're very excited to share this unique opportunity with a fan who'll enjoy the book's success as much as we will," said author Jake Brown.
The auction will begin at 3PM EST on Sunday, November 15 and end at 3PM EST on Sunday, November 22. Fans can register now at http://www.songvest.com to learn more about plans for the book's re-printing and retail release.
Since 2007, SongVest has offered music fans, collectors, and investors the unique opportunity to share the royalties with the writers of their favorite music. Past auctions have included the rights to songs recorded by Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Carrie Underwood, Ringo Starr, Ozzy Osbourne, Natalie Cole, and The Monkees.

Ownedbyskull - 11/12/2009 1:55:47 PM He might not be a good bass player but he does write and articulate good riffs that come out to be great songs. You cant atke that away from him.
scrapmetal - 11/12/2009 5:57:39 AM csmith if you read the dirt closely each story contains bits & pieces from 4-6 guys who were there but cant completely remember it in detail.As for sixx's musical abilities,he rates a 1 on bass but according to his recent autobiography everyuone in Hollywood from Gene simmons to blackie lawless wanted to write with him,im not so sure about that one
JimmyRamone - 11/9/2009 9:51:44 AM Boring. Nikki will do anything to make a buck off his cliched past.
Ownedbyskull - 11/9/2009 7:54:49 AM OK, WAIT, Starting NOW! Ok I'm ignoring me. I mean You! Wait did I just UN-ignore again! Damn I'm so confused! OK now and I mean it! ROTHLMFAO!
blueflamer - 11/9/2009 5:53:11 AM Fuck you. I will now ignore you.
CemetaryGate - 11/8/2009 12:18:28 PM Yeah if a king size dork like that could call you out,your life must suck.
Ownedbyskull - 11/7/2009 4:28:51 PM even PBR calls you on your shit LOL!
blueflamer - 11/7/2009 10:17:37 AM Good riddance, asshole.
PBRstreetgang - 11/7/2009 9:05:55 AM Thats it. I'm off to blabbermnouth where your ballermouth is not.
blueflamer - 11/7/2009 8:05:01 AM Come now, boys...Sixx may not be Geddy Lee, John Entwhistle, Jaco Pastorious or Stanley Clarke...but the man is a tad bit better than fucking Sid Vicious.
chsmithatwork - 11/6/2009 1:12:38 PM I have a question - if these guys spent so much time wasted on hard drugs and booze, how do they seem to remember everything? "The Dirt" had a lot of detail. Dare I say - are at least some of the stories they tell are pure fiction?
Whiskeyinthejar - 11/6/2009 5:25:30 AM C'mon diomm,i see if you can muster up an intelligent response instead of going to the gutter. Everything in my previous rant is true.Crue is fortunate to have Tommy Lee as the other half of the rhythm section because a great drummer like him can pick-up the slack. Even when they recorded "Feelgood" Bob Rock had to play some of the bass on the cd because Sixx couldn't pull it off. Even twenty years later Sixx still doesn't have the chops.
diommi - 11/6/2009 1:49:45 AM Obviously MS. whiskeyinthejar is a jealous slut....her talent is as lacking as is the amount of truth in her sad rant....she probably was kicked out of the Crue backstage for sucking at sucking..
Whiskeyinthejar - 11/5/2009 5:44:24 PM Money doesn't matter 3-2. I would'nt want to have walked in his shoes no matter how much money he made. I'm sure Nikki would give it all back to not to have been a throw away kid, multi- divorced, alcoholic, and hooked on heroin for most of his life. Pretending to play bass is insulting because he makes a fool out of Crue fans every time he takes the stage. He is like the Ringo Starr of hair metal. he was simply in the right place at the right time when they formed Crue in 1981.
