Love the rawness & the honesty. However, maybe in updates he could footnote the parts that are casually racist & actively misogynistic to show areas for growth. We 💯 knew swastikas sucked back then. They still suck. Fuck nazis wherever they exist, and fuck their propaganda. Glad he has his shit together.
pickRe-Read for me, and it was just as fun the second time around.
This book makes you feel like part of the band. It is fun, wild, and rough. The debauchery is insane - you can't help but read on. I found myself feeling sorry for every member of the band at one point, especially Vince, when his 4 year old daughter died and Mick throughout the entire book due to his illness and treatment from the others. Even if you're not a fan, this is outstanding.
Lunch break with The Crüe 🤩
After reading "The Heroin Diaries", I decided to re-read "The Dirt".
I read this on holiday years ago and always used to look forward to Tommy's chapters. His first one didn't fail ?
pickWoah, what a roller coaster!
Eye opening, frightening, heartbreaking, bizarre, and at times, funny.
I couldn't put this down. It was so addictive.
I think this is my new favourite rockstar memoir.
For those who aren't familiar - Nikki Sixx is the bassist and songwriter for Mötley Crüe. He was a major drug addict and alcoholic. This is his diary entries from the Girls, Girls, Girls tour... the year he died and came back to life. Literally.
I've always had a soft spot for these two. I love how open they are about their demons. I love that Steven Tyler was looking out for Nikki when he needed help and was at an all time low.
Also, the bottom photograph is brilliant. 🖤
