Time Magazine recently quipped in their gossip section that the Backstreet Boys might be transforming into the millennium's new Motley Crue not that "Nikki Sixx has mellowed out..." Following a two-decade education in rebellion as Hard Rock's mad scientist, highlighted by a now-infamous (&amp; temporarily lethao) heroine overdose, relationships with some of Hollywood's most lucious leading ladies, including Vanity, Playboy Playmate Brandi Brandt, and current wife, Baywatch star Donna D'Errico, and a 20-year multi-platinum run (selling 40 million records worldwide) as the creative center of Hard Rock's most decadent and notorious band, Motley Crue, Nikki Sixx's legacy among rock and metal fans worldwide is legendary. "An Education in Rebellion: The Biography of Nikki Sixx", featuring exclusive interviews with those closest to Nikki, including Lita Ford, Bob Timmons, Neil Zlozower, Tom Werman, Quiet Riot frontman Kevin Dubrow, Dangerous Toys bassist Michael Hannon, and others, promises to paint for its readers both an intimate and wildly colorful portrait of the life of hard rock's most important icon!

Nine multiplatinum albums are revisited in this tour of the recorded works of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the ongoing cornerstone of L.A.'s alternative rock scene for nearly a quarter of a century. Widely credited as the founders of rap-rock with such efforts as their 1983 self-titled debut album, the 1989 crossover hit Mother's Milk, and their 1991 commercial breakthrough BloodSugarSexMagik, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have remained consistently at the top of the album charts with their potent mix of hard rock and funk, selling 50 million albums and winning seven Grammy Awards along the way. The writing and production of each album is thoroughly investigated and detailed, including behind-the-scenes stories of such generation-defining hits as “Higher Ground,” “Give It Away,” “Under the Bridge,” “Californication,” and “Scar Tissue,” ultimately providing an alternative history to one of the most-loved American bands.
