Description Conducive To Books The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star
A dark year in the life of Nikki Sixx Although a member of other bands Nikki Sixx is best known as co-founder, bassist, and primary songwriter for the band Mötley Crüe. A few years ago I was on a memoir kick and I ended up reading a few written by some current and former rock stars. I was not a huge fan of Mötley Crüe but I did enjoy some of their music. So when I came across this book/journal at the library I was curious. I thought it was an interesting read with an accurate description of addiction (Although of course it is a rock star version). Nikki's journal entries from Christmas 1986 to Christmas 1987, when his drug use was apparently at it's highest. It's not pretty. Interspersed with photographs, artwork, lyrics, and other extras made it even more interesting. Kudos to Nikki Sixx for sharing such a brutal, heartbreaking, and emotional time in his life with the world.Specify About Books The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star

I really enjoyed this. Yes, he's egotistical but honest. I liked that he takes responsibility for his life and addiction and some of the crazy things he writes are funny as hell. Recommended, even if you're not a Crue fan. It's just a fun memoir of a terrible addiction.Brief overview: Man gets high in closet for many years and tries to shoot imaginary people.

"I love twelve year olds because you can hear the bones crack when you stick it in." What kind of guy says this, even drugged up and jokingly? Nikki Sixx does, in this book. I think that may have been the moment my teenage obsession with Motley Crüe stopped. These guys are glorified rapists.
I admit it; I was a Motley Crue fan in the '80s. I always had a crush on Tommy Lee though, and looking back on it I have no idea why except that Nikki Sixx scared the bejesus out of me. Reading this diary now I know why.He just captured my heart by saying he was listening to the Thompson Twins and reading a Roald Dahl book. He's just a big kid who got seriously twisted. I realize he suffered from abandonment issues sand admits to clinical depression, but his actions seem so much like
Yikes this book is a serious downer. Youd think the lifestyle of a big rock and roll star at the height of his stardom was nothing but luxurious decadence and fun times, right? Well, it is and it isnt. When you havent dealt with your childhood pain, struggle with depression and a crushing loneliness and life on the road seems endless and empty and you self-medicate with sex and heroin, well, things quickly turn into a nightmare. Nikki Sixx, bassist and song writer for Motley Crue, hit it big in
