First, let me say that my son was/is an addict & just over a year clean & sober. After he asked for help & we got him into the in-house rehab, based upon AA/NA principles, he came home on a day pass & we took him to eat @ the restaurant of his choice & then to to see the movie of his choice. Afterward, I asked him what helped him make the decision to become clean...first, he said us, then, he said he'd read the Heroine Diaries by Nikki Sixx, which he first checked out @ the local library...& then asked me to get as an ebook. It moved him.. I was working on my master's degree @ the time & didn't get a chance to read it until after I'd earned my degree (a/k/a yesterday). I finished it today. Nikki, your book was brutally honest & touched my kid to his soul. Now, I understand why. I'm thankful you wrote it. Thanks for helping me save the most important human being in my life...he's only 25 years old. He's going places now & has. remained strong. We just went to our first concert together on 10/10/15 in Evansville, IN....we both saw Motley Crue for the very first time (I've been trying to see your band since I was 16.. Crue has always been my favorite band...& Drew grew up listening to it his entire life. So...thank you for helping us through many tough times & helping him turn his life around & to you...congrats on your rehabilitation -Kim
I really enjoyed reading Nkki's account of his rapid and total descent into heroin addiction. Its full of honesty and candor and he at no time makes excuses for it or blames others for it. Although his unstable childhood was no doubt a factor, he totally owns and takes responsibility for his behavior and addiction. I also enjoyed reading the perspectives of others who were around him during this time. It is truly amazing that he survived and is still around to talk about it. Its a cautionary tale that speaks volumes of his strength and resilience to make it through the horror of addiction, as so many other brilliant artists do not. Nikki's reflection on this time period of his life makes for good reading even if you're not a Motley Cru fan. It may even make you take a closer look.
Nikki hits a home run on this one. The first thing that struck me is the way the book is presented. It's not a dry, white page, black words presentation - it's constructed in a graphic novel motif, complete with sketches and anecdotal notes from Nikki and those around him at the time (Dec. 1986 - Dec. 1987). It was during this period I saw the Crue on the GGG tour. Little did the 18 yo in row 23 on the floor of the Spectrum realize the suicidal path of my heroes. This book makes you feel like taking a shower; it is raw, brutal, dirty, and always honest. This disease knows no boundaries, and Nikki shows (with a lot of hard work), you can manage to put a life together. The book is very sad a times, but so worth the read.
Motley Crue is my favorite band of all time. I've seen them play several times and they never disappoint. The Dirt on Motley Crue was an amazing read, so raw. In this book I find Nikki genuine and vulnerable. A series of journals written in a truly dark time of his life. I can't even believe he was able to even think to write in a journal at this time of his life. I'm glad he did. His upbringing is relatable but lead him down a very deep path. great book, easy read, so well written.
Excellent book. I'm a child of the 80s, so I grew up on Crue. I saw Vince way back when he was fired/quit from the band and went solo ,and he did all the Crue's songs anyway. And I saw them on their farewell tour in 2015.Excellent first person narrative of a man going to his own personal hell. The additional commentaries by people who were there to watch his fall and give their perspective is fascinating. Nikki's inside dirt on who did what to who and when is darkly funny and compellingAn excellent read and cautionary tale of what unlimited access to whatever you want can do to you.Crue fans will love it and even if you're not a fan/not of this age category, it's just a plain good read.
Disclaimer: This review is shaped by personal opinion, contains modest spoilers, and is only possible because of the hard work of the author(s) who wrote this book (to whom, for better or worse, I am grateful).This book delivered exactly what I expected: a rambling, chaotic, drug-filled compilation of musings and interviews roughly crammed into the form of a memoir. For all of this, the book both satisfies and disappoints. The book satisfies the idle curiosity I had about life as a rock star (Nikki Sixx--a name that proved irksome every time I was required to read it and now proves even more so in the typing--was the writer and bassist behind Motley Crue). It also proves to be an interesting account of drug addiction from an insider's perspective. The book traces a year in the life of Nikki as he consumes copious amounts of cocaine, heroin, and basically anything else available to him. In the midst of these struggles, he kept a journal which he has now edited and interspersed with interviews from characters in his journals. The concept is intriguing and executed well. However, the narrative, as with the life of a heroin-fueled touring rock star, is tangled and fairly repetitive. What is most compelling in this story is the author's (see how I avoided typing his name this time?) honesty. He is unflinchingly honest, mostly candid, and even includes excerpts of interviews with people who hate his guts.The book delivered exactly what I expected. Because of this, it was a bit boring to read at times. At a certain point, one becomes inured to another tale of drug induced delusions in the closet of a rock star's mansion. Also, I don't know where to include this in my review, but I feel compelled to at least comment: Vanity is seriously insane. This cocaine freebasing groupie (of Prince first, and then Motley Crue), was a wild character in the author's journals. In her interview portions of the book, even with the benefit of hindsight and the ability to compose her thoughts, she is even kookier. She went from a junkie to a true religious fanatic who calls herself an evangelist and speaks often of Satan's influence in Nikki's life and his need for exorcism. She is a larger-than-life character whom I was never thrilled to see show up in the story again, and yet never put the book down when she was actively involved. One other miscellaneous note: I would have preferred this book in a standard format rather than the highly stylized rock star-esque journal format interspersed with pictures. Maybe I'm just not meant for the rock-and-roll lifestyle, because the violent imagery and hastily censored nudes gave me uncomfortable anxiety as I tried to shield the book (and my embarrassment) from my fellow public transportation commuters.I have not read many rock star memoirs or tales of drug addicts' recoveries. This story provided exactly what I expected and, in doing so, left me a bit underwhelmed. Overall, I enjoyed reading about this lifestyle that is so dramatically different than my own, but I would not read the book again and, because of the content, would be hesitant to recommend to others.B.
