In addition to being the primary songwriter for Motley Crue, bassist Nikki Sixx is also a New York Times bestselling author. His second book, This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography, and Life Through the Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx, landed at #4 on their “hardcover advice and misc.” chart. That’s actually a good way to describe the book. Picking up where The Heroin Diaries left off, it’s equal parts autobiography, self-help manual (without being preachy) and showcase for Sixx’s newest passion, photography. It’s a nice complement to his last book, as well as The Dirt, and something that should appeal to any fan of the Crue.

Metal Insider has a copy of the book to give away. Just leave a comment in the section below stating what your favorite Crue or Sixx A.M. song is and you’ll be registered to win. Multiple entries will be disqualified, and the contest is open to U.S. residents only (sorry, rest of world). We’ll pick a winner at random on Thursday, May 5.
