“The Heroin Diaries”

The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx

Let me start with this statement: Nikki Sixx is, and always has been, the coolest rock star there ever was... the rock star's rock star - (nice guy too; I've met him in '84 and '01). This book is a great read if you're intrigued by rock-n-roll history and the excessive lifestyle that often accompanies it. Ringing with graphic honesty from start to finish, the book is a very disturbing read at times. The complexities of a man at the heights of addiction and adulation are literally laid out for us day-by-day. Some of the most entertaining entries in this book are the insights and comments from many of Nikki's friends and foes, past and present. The Heroin Diaries gives readers an all-access pass around the world with Nikki and Motley Crue circa 1987. This book's accompanying soundtrack is a great rock record showcasing Nikki's continued relevance in rock-n-roll almost three decades into his career. And they said it wouldn't last... what the f#*k do they know anyway?? BUY it here.
