But the third album made by Sixx and his mates,

Modern Vintage is perhaps the best representation of not only their hard rock sensibilities but also an unashamed tribute to the bands they fell in love in their youth from Queen and ELO to David Bowie and Elton John.

idea all along with this album was to be obvious about what we are doing and those influences.
Sixx and his band mates indulge their love of everything from disco to ragtime, a risky move for a trio whose previous offerings were firmly rooted in hard rock.
believe we been lucky because when we started with the Heroin Diaries, it wasn about being a band. The canvas was wide open and the bands accepted that, Ashba says.

Modern Vintage seems determined to tell their fans there is light at the end of the tunnel.
