Top 10 Best Sixx:A.M. Songs
You know Nikki Sixx from Mötley Crüe, the eyeliner-smeared, bass-slamming chaos architect of the Sunset Strip. But with Sixx:A.M., he traded the sleaze for soul-searching, teamed up with guitarist DJ Ashba and vocalist James Michael, and cracked open a much darker diary. What started as a soundtrack to Sixx's autobiography The Heroin Diaries in 2007 turned into a full-blown band with a mission. Raw, melodic confessionals wrapped in stadium-sized sound.
This isn't the kind of rock you throw on in the background. These songs punch through addiction, recovery, vanity, regret, hope, and all the mess in between. They go for the jugular, but they also offer a lifeline. It's therapy with riffs.
So, what are the best Sixx:A.M. songs? That's where you come in. Scroll through, relive the highs and lows, and vote for the ones that hit you hardest. The anthems that lifted you up or called you out.

Life is Beautiful
Dear God, this song is so beautiful. From the lyrics to the music, this song is absolutely amazing. Not only my favorite Sixx: A.M. song but my favorite song of all time.
When I hear this song, it sends chills down my spine. It's amazingly written and deserves to be number one.
Hits hard. Makes me feel nostalgic about the 2000s. I remember hearing it a lot at home back then.

I can only say: Great, great song!

This is Gonna Hurt
One of their heaviest songs. Great chorus too.

Skin
Whoa! Love this song so much! I will get it in my head and go play it no matter where I am. Nikki talks about how people judge a book by its cover or its past. Show them the angel in your heart and stomp out bullies and heartless, judging people! This is a song that should have massive airplay, but I don't get why it doesn't. Radio stations suck!
It's unfortunate that the less famous songs by Sixx: A.M. are so unknown. The famous ones like Life is Beautiful and Lies of the Beautiful People are great, but Skin is so great, passionate, and potent that more people need to hear it.

It's the most awesome song I've ever heard. It's really a nice song. When you listen to it once, you'll want to play it over and over again. Believe me.

This should be our new American Revolution anthem. We are being divided and destroyed. Join together and rise. We are almost out of time.

Belly of the Beast
OMG! LOVE IT! "What you do when alive is what you do when you die." Honestly, the first time I listened to all the albums after Heroin Diaries, I thought, "That's such a damn good song to every song!" This one is just - OMG, wow!

Holy cow! This song is one of my favorites and is so freaking powerful! Another top song that should be all over the radio. Nikki Sixx blows away any competition with all of Sixx: A.M.'s songs!

Better Man
Another heart-pulling set of lyrics. Nikki pours his heart out, and it makes his music so personal and incendiary. Better Man is a powerful song and should be a top-five hit!

Maybe It's Time
Wonderfully powerful song. I always tear up listening to Heroin Diaries and basically most of Sixx: A.M. I feel Nikki's pain. He is an incredible person, and his music says it all.

Oh my God! How is this not a number-one hit? It should have massive airplay. I listen to this song all the time! It's amazing! Everyone that I send it to loves it! The problem is that people don't know about it. Otherwise, it would easily be number one!
