The Heroin Diaries is the upcoming book by Nikki Sixx, the cofounder of the most legendary rock band of the eighties,
Mötley Crüe. The Heroin Diaries offers an unflinching and utterly gripping look at his own descent into drug addiction.
With a soundtrack featuring James Michael and DJ Ashba.
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.
Nikki Sixx was born Frank Feranna in San Jose, California, in 1958 and grew up in Seattle with his grandmother. At the age of seventeen, he sold his guitars and took a bus to Los Angeles, where he began hanging out in local clubs and playing in bands. He founded Mötley Crüe in 1981 with friend Tommy Lee. Today he’s a family man with numerous projects in the works, including songwriting for other artists, a movie, a new band, a clothing line, and ongoing work with “The Crüe”.
Not to be confused with anything of a similar title from Grey's Anatomy!
Lyrics:
Heroin Diaries features Nikki Sixx from Motley Crew.
You can’t quit until you try
You can’t live until you die
You can’t learn to tell the truth until you learn to lie
You can’t breathe until you choke
You got a life but you’re the joke
There’s nothing like a funeral to make you feel…
Alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral?
I know some things that you don’t
I’ve done things that you won’t
There’s nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home.
I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel…
Alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral?
Alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral?
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral?
