''Diet for a New America'' is the debut record of American band 58, the group featuring Nikki Sixx. It was released on Sixx's Americoma Records on May 16, 2000. == Conception and production == Nikki Sixx described in an interview the origins of the album, beginning with a jam session with guitarist Dave Darling of the band Boxing Gandhis: "One day we were sitting around; he had this hip-hop loop up, and I was playing this glamrock riff; and he goes, 'Wow, that's really fucked up. You hear how that sounds together?' I said, 'Yeah, it's horrible, huh?' So we started to roll tape."〔Duff, S. L. (July 2000). "Nikki Sixx: Tails, you lose", ''Bass Player'' 11 (7): 24.〕 He and Darling continued the casual approach—or what Sixx described as "complete reckless abandon"〔no byline (June 13, 2000). "(The Odd Couple: The unlikely pairing of Nikki Sixx and Barry Gibb's son Steven have got a band together... )", ''NME''. Retrieved on 2009-03-21.〕—to making the album, for example flipping a coin to see who would play instruments on which track or who would write lyrics. "Then we got to the point where we didn't even write lyrics—we just made them up on the spot. To this day I don't know any of them."〔 Sixx expected the casual approach might be part of the album's appeal: "If people like it, they can like it for the music, not because it's being shoved down their throats by a record company."〔 Various musicians contributed, in a haphazard way. Said Sixx, "A bunch of musicians just came by and played. I don't even know who half of them are."〔 A friend of Darling played upright bass on the track "Queer". Sixx wanted a 1970s song to cover, and his first choice, "One" by Three Dog Night, had recently been covered by Aimee Mann for the movie ''Magnolia''. Sixx searched the Internet for #1 songs of the 1970s and came up with "Alone Again (Naturally)". Darling said of the selection, "The tune was so bizarre to begin with that the idea of making that fit onto our record was a bit of a challenge."〔Reighley, Kurt B. (June 21, 2000). "(Alone again, unnaturally )", ''Seattle Weekly''. Retrieved on 2009-03-21.〕 "Song to Slit Your Wrists By" was previously recorded by Sixx's other band, Mötley Crüe, as the Japanese bonus track for Generation Swine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diet for a New America (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
