Product Description
In one of the most unique life tale of addiction ever published, Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, open alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself. When Motley Crue was at the height of its fame, there wasn’t any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn’t do. He spent days – sometimes alone, sometimes with additional addicts, friends, and lovers – in a coke and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki’s journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, regularly ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions. Here, Nikki shares persons diary entries – some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre – and reflects on that time. Joining him are Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Slash, Rick Nielsen, Bob Rock, and a host of ex-managers, ex-lovers, and more. Cruelly honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom – and his courageous choice to pick himself up and start living again.

The idioticly melodramatic title to this book says it all. Mr. Sixx is just as shallow as the songs he writes. He should have the sense to know that calling your memoir “The Heroin Diaries” is a glorification of the drug that will inevitably lead others to try it. The ancient get addicted and become a hero when you’ve cleaned up routine is tired and outdated. This book sucks, just like his drumming and his band.

The language was so horrible I had my spouse burn the book. I wish I had never bought it.

Seems that person was proud to have been already in recovery himself.
The book and or that lifestyle is nothing to as I felt that reviewer did
at least if not brag about similar problems and as if he was tickled to
copy deadly habits! I was in a band and would never of wanted to tell
such abuse or be proud or brag as he, the reviewer, sounded to “follow the leader” so to speak! Sad book and admitted the hurt but nothing to be proud of. And certainly, I would hope NiKKi Sixx would agree that he would not want his fans to live such self debasing and life threating habits. Be reliable for your decisions and concious of your choices to avoid apt powerless over your self control. Again, I say I do not judge that was the books intention at all to hear a new musician was proud of or relating to it as maybe cool already to have been in recovery and reviewer… ( Hope you do not read again)
Rock and Roll careers certainly does not a drug addict make! That is a personal choice and a problem wide spread. Excellent Luck. Your review made me want to give o stars!

Read this if you want to spend a few hundred pages reading about heroin and cocaine abuse. While I expected a honest amount of drug reference due to the book title I was not prepared for the entire book to chronicle every injection, snort and smoke of a rockstar junkie. The book is most entertaining when discussing the composition industry, life on the road and anecdotes about additional bands and people in the business. Sorry to say this should have been more of this book. I’d pass this one up unless you are looking for information on just how excessive and wasteful drug users can be. One positive I can drum up is that mr. sixx is cruelly honest regarding himself and persons around him – which makes his observations on situations and people believable and appealing – again should have been more of this book.

As a fan of Motley Crue from 81 on and a fan of Dirt, this book was a huge let down. Let me save you time and sum up every entry. Mommy didn’t like me I didn’t know my Daddy, I was a multimillionaire rock star and chose to be a heroin addict because nobody loved me when I was 6. That pretty much sums it up. Nikki “I feel sorry for myself” Sixx. Here’s a thought Nikki…………get over it. Lots of people had parents who sucked and abandoned them and didnt turn to Heroin and self pitty. Pitiful book.
