Sixx addict
Check out the following link for details on the upcoming Nikki Sixx biography “The Heroin Diaries” (due out later this year). Here’s what the official Nikki Sixx website has to offer on the book:
“Set against the frenzied world of heavy metal superstardom, the cofounder of the most legendary rock band of the eighties—Mötley Crüe—offers an unflinching and utterly gripping look at his own descent into drug addiction.
Few bands were as influential as Mötley Crüe in making the 1980s the heavy metal decade. Theirs is a cyclonic story of runaway success and its price, blending outrageous record sales and arena headline tours with smashed up cars, jail sentences, models, drugs, breakups, reunions and more breakups.
In this candid memoir, Nikki Sixx—Mötley Crüe’s bassist and main songwriter—recounts the band’s heyday. The Heroin Diaries takes readers along on one of the most breathless and harrowing roller coaster rides in the history of pop music. At its heart lies the author’s nightmare come true: a punishing heroin addiction that brought him and the band to the edge of losing much more than just their spot on the charts. Serving up snapshots of rock culture at its most manic, this insider’s look at triumph and tragedy is every bit as explosive as the musical odyssey it chronicles.”
Video/audio for the track “Life is Beautiful” from “The Heroin Diaries” Soundtrack can be found at the same location. The album, written by Sixx, James Michael (lead vocal & guitars) and DJ Ashba (guitars), comes under the moniker Sixx:A.M. and is due out at the same time as the book (September 2007 at this time).
