My dad did drugs and drank when he was a teenager and he got sober, he told me growing up that he was worry that I would follow down a dark path like he did after he passed away in 2017 I finally read Nikki’s book and I am making a vow that I will never touch drugs I don’t even like to take headache medicine yay I’m a bit paranoid I don’t want to end up how my dad was. Nikki thank you for the amazing book I’m proud of you for staying sober
Street drugs booze pills cancer sticks bummer but thought if as cool or the in thing or to fit in I guess till you get out if that life and really get a life again so sad kills and messes up so many people if all walks if life it's hard but there is hope give it a try you will be glad you did and so will your family and friends be pray and try hard it will work good luck
As a young woman, it was Tommy, now Nikki, but the talent? I'm gonna say it's Mick all the way. Tommy and Nikki have great songwriting skills, Nikki's ability to write and make us KNOW it, he's easily one of the most talented song writers, musicians. My fave bassist. Tommy is my fave drummer. Vince, he's a great showman and had the vocals. I don't want to be negative, but my voice isn't the same as 25 years ago either. Mick wasn't the sexiest, but his guitar playing and hands were wow!
Mick was criminally under rated in the whole 80s Rock scene. I got to see Motley Crue tour with Ozzy in Dallas in 1984. Yes I'm old. LoL But I have been lucky and bought tickets to 4 different tours and took my vacation time from work to go see what was supposed to be the Final Show from those guys. While working as a Stage Tech at my local arena venue , after being sold to Travis Scott I got to build the roller coaster that was Tommy's drum set up.
It's the same reason everything is a conspiracy and the Earth is flat again and every comment section is full of swearing and name calling. People think they know everything and can't be told anything so they hate, swear and name call. A bunch of losers trying to get positive attention on themselves by throwing negative attention on everyone else. I've seen people on here that knew every rock star personally and their whole lives too, people who have done everything and people that know everything, They're probably just so pathetic in their real lives they have nothing better to do. It's sad.
Motley Crue was never a critics' band, and they knew that. They may not have been the most musically talented band of their time but they were FUN. Rock and roll is about entertainment and stimulation, and they did that like few bands could.
Slippy Jones Because no one loves Nikki more than Nikki Sixx. Do you actually believe he was beat back to life with a baseball bat? Seriously? Nikki claims to be a photographer and he constantly tells the same stories. Why has he never shown fans his original diaries? Not the book... the actual diaries? If they were real he would post them daily, he would have pictures of them and videos all over because he never shuts up about it. He says he did heroin because his hero’s did, what a following poser! Then come to find out he didn’t even play his bass live on stage, he used protools. God damn it, I want a refund for all those shows I’ve seen.
Some 28 years ago I was a female version of Nikki;a great mass of black hair, black and white jeans and long coat, and knee high boots with stiletto heels. I was a female bassplayer and I worked in a heavy metal club in Amsterdam where I live. One evening the Crue just walked in, and Nikki and I started talking and drinking Jack Daniels. He loved my look and the fact that I was a bassplayer too. We went down town after my shift, and we got so drunk,I did not even know how I got home. But I found a little note next to my bed;he brought me home. Nikki is a gentleman when he wants to. Last thing I remember was us walking on the street, holding eachother so we would not fall on our face. Great guy.
Tammy Sigmon Mick is sick...he should have played in Motorhead looking normal denim and longhair like before he joined MC as his tone is cutting and unique for it's time.
I sure do love all the Mick Mars comments on here. He is a huge part of their sound. I fully agree that he is ultra-underrated.God bless him. I'm going to make a little statue.
@Beverley L Foster Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Nikki has really helped a lot of people I think I love his music and him I wish only the best for him and his family may he and Motely Crue run to infinity and beyond

so awesome of him to start a place of arts for kids to go to. this story is an eye opener to what drugs do to people. I'm very proud of him to overcome& find peace & help others. Right on man \m/
Absolutely f***king love The Crüe! I’m so glad Nikki survived! He’s amazing! It’s so hard to be a kid who loves these bands, cause you know any day they could stop the music or tours or even die and to know you may never see them play hits hard. #crüeheadforlife #loveyounikki

Very true. I've always been a big Van Halen fan also, along with the Crue. I'm glad I got to see them with Roth & Haggar before Eddie's passing... RIP Edward Van Halen.

I am glad he survived it, Nikki is a very talented individual and he was given a third chance to do it right. And he has shared that story, seemingly helping many other addicts. I believe THAT was the reason he survived, so he could tell his story and save others from the darkness he was in.

To cheat death.....terrifying. I have witnessed interviews of near death experiences and all keep saying they see a white light. Never go into white light it should be a lemon yellow light that warm and feeling peace/love.
Nikki I've always loved Motley crue and Started listening to Sixx Am the past couple years. I finally started reading the herion diaries and I'm over half finished. I am a herion addict who dabbles in coke and speed and lived for alcohol. I've almost got a year clean and its because of the help the book has given me and the Stength I've pulled out of myself....a few weeks ago I almost went back. Ty for sharing your story. Your words helped me not to relapse.. 🙏🌻Kat**
He doesn't have to be the lead singer. He was gorgeous when he was young and he's gorgeous now that he's older. Happy birthday Nikki it's just a couple of days. I give almost anything to talk to you. You're beautiful inside and outside!

Best book I've ever read! Extremely inspirational and a reminder that know matter what addiction don't care who you are or what you have. But as a recovering addict whether I know you or not we are all distant family and pray for all of us using or recovering everday!! Thank you nikki six for one of the greatest books ever wrote!
The only way I can describe heroin withdrawl is, "there comes a point during withdrawl that the one and only thing you fear is that you may actually survive". I was brought back to life twice in the same day/night. I been clean for 2 years and havnt looked back. Nikki, stay strong. We clearly have reasons to stick around....Be Cool All.
Withdrawing from heroin, opioids has got to be the worst feeling ever to exist. I withdrew for a little over a month plus coming off cocaine my mind was mush. I was actually accusing people of poisoning me!
@NostradamusJr. I'm so glad you are here and survived. I'm currently praying for my oldest son to come off of alcohol. I worry so much about him. Thank you for sharing.
Nikki's songs got me through my mother's bout with mental illness and my parents temporary separation, from age 10-13 you helped me so thank you nikki.
I'm crying... What a rude awakening for this fan. I remember, 1980-81. Me, outta high school, the #1 Band, for me, Motley Crue. My life was so untouched by drugs "YET", alcohol, weekends only...Crue carried me through Topless Dancing, drinking, meth, cocaine, and the worst life ever could I have led. So it turned out I was similar to them, no rockstar, by no means, but addicted oh yeah, kick start me !! So no heroin "yet", thanks to a person I love in recovery from heroin. Thanks, my Birthday Dec 22nd. I loved this Doc..oh wow!!! Thanks Nikki, and Crue for hitting bottom each will live his rockstar life. Bless each of you. I hope for you continued Rockin' blessed.
I have never been a fan of the type of music but I really admire him and his accomplishments and overcoming addiction as well as his life growing up. Really amazing talented person.
No one knows the real world of Rock and Roll ! When you are there , you're there . If you don't know , you don't , Iv'e been there . Now Mr Sixx has lived that life of Rock and Roll and survived . Yes He was always the brains , the vision and the main songwriter !
Awesome Nikki grew up listening to you and it made life less boring! Cried when I heard you died, thank you for becoming greater than before still follow you! I'm 61 years old your awesome 🤘😎
@Priscilla Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Man Motley went way beyond. They are truly blessed to still be breathing. I'm glad Nikki six turned his life around. I doubt we will see a band take it that far ever again. If you haven't read heroine diaries, it's a pretty good read. I was actually suprised.
I think it showed his true spirit and the kind of dude he really is when he opened that home for runaways and trying to be a role model and an inspiration
@kimberly Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Ive been sober from alcohol 30yrs. I starte doing methamphetamine in 2022 and in 2023 i had a stroke and 2 heart attacks. Meth just about killed me. When they were taking me to hospital i went into respiratory, failure and kidney failure. I was brought back to life 2x. I beat the reaper and now have been cleanfrom meth 1yr. I still listen to motley crue but listen sober.
I fucking LOVE Motley Crue! Have since I was 11 in '82. I still listen to their shit almost everyday. I consider them like family. You're the shit Nikki. Love ya bro
Nikki and I have the same background, with the drugs and the music. I told him I was clean for more than a year and he would do it too he said. I did not really believe him,but he did it!!! I am so f******proud of him
@Sandra Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Nikki you are one of my greatest mentors. Thank you for everything all time. I followed you and Motley Crüe from the start. Your Story is so inspire. I guess you are my hero. Even followed your show on local radio here. Keep on Rockin’ Patrick -Edmonton, Alberta
+Rosario Verano no chance. he might have detailed the events in his book, but that was pure fiction. the story of him dying more than once only enhances his legendary status in the eyes of foolish rock fans.
Why would I be there? I'm not A junkie/drug addict, LOL! Listen, everybody who wants to know understandS that Nikki Sixx is a liar. C'mon, the band doesn't even play live in concert. Their instruments are not plugged in LOL
I almost laughed. Wrong. I'm American and I can spot a liar and phony when I see one. Just ask around. People will tell you how fake Motley is. Or search youtube if you want to
listen, i'm no fool. there are many, many Motley fans who woke up and smelled the shit the band have been serving the fans for decades. just look up the info on You Tube. you will find evidence of Motley playing with backing tracks and Vince not singing live vocals. do you think the background vocals are live coming from Nikki and Tommy and Mick and the dancers? LOL! What a fool believes!
I'VE BEEN A MOTLEY CRUE FAN SINCE I WAS 6 YEARS OLD MY GRANDMOTHER BOUGHT ME SHOUT AT THE DEVIL ON CASSETTE, AND GIRLS ON RECORD AHHH SUCH FOUND ROCK MEMORIES
I think I enjoyed hearing the stories about Motley Crue more than their music honestly. I’m a drummer so I pretty much just listen to Tommy Lee play more than anything. But there’s no doubt that they are basically the hardest partying band of all time. 🤘 glad Nikki Sixx survived tho. I’m a recovering addict myself and know how much addiction can impact you and the things you do.
Come on people, look at the life this guy was leading, no redeeming qualities, gluttony, how many lives were lost trying to live like your idols, how many drug runners and dealers were made rich and well armed off his business. I’m sure god was watching over him, so much hypocracy.
Nikki Sixx is my male side of my personality, so much like me it is scary n cool n he is my idol as well as alter ego!;; I am a 66 yr old woman, who came up in the 1960's as a young teen, in the 1970's as a teenager and my life from 13 yrs old till 17;yrs old was a carbon copy of Nikki's partying n music experiences, other than not actually dying twice n resurrecting, I was a hippie, turned, Glam rocker, turned heavy metal front person n songwriter, among some of my occupations, ballet dancer, musical theatre player, exotic dancer, burlesque dancer, motel manager twice- I lived the "live fast n die young" lifestyle just as Nikki did. My nickname is Nikki Styxx!!! I hope someday I can actually meet him because it would be like meeting the male image of myself!;!! You DO have everything you could ever hope for, Nikki, n you truly are my idol!!!! This was a great video, especially hearing Nikki narrate as well as watching the Crue perform all the early music which is still my favourites!!! The old motto of our group was "Live fast, die young n leave a good looking corpse." I am 66 so obviously I did NOT "die young", but my lifestyle is still the same on a much more lower key level, but it always goes back to the 🎶 music, that is what stairs our souls!!!! Attaboy, Nikki Sixx!!!!! P.S. I had a cat named Nikki Sixx. He was wild n crazy till he just disappeared!!!
@Stella Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
No he doesn’t even know which one it was. Plus the wife of one of the guns and roses members there partying him, deserves much of the credit too cuz she did cpr until ambulance arrived keeping him from being brain dead. If not for her, he would have been a vegetable after the adrenaline wake up. I hate I can’t remember right now which wife. I’m sure another fan will reply and help me out. It’s in the dirt book
@@Likyourface and it was Andy McCoy that "fixed" him. Andy tried to tell him the crap was strong, but he said Nikki wanted to be a tough boy. Listen to his interview.
Kelly Pettersen theres a reference that slash threw him in the shower while EMT was on the way. As well as nikki finding the paramedics who saved him and gave then one million dollars each
I this book in jail. An I am also a recovering addict who had the same choice in party favors an his book motivated me to get help cuz he was able to. Thank u Nikki sixx
As well as millions of people around the world who look up to him. So many of you hateful jealous people trying to discredit him. That's why his name will live on long after hes dead and you'll be forgotten by everyone once your children's children are gone
I died 2 times. Both in an ER. I never died by drugs, but I almost died, and I had to move 1000 miles away from everyone I knew. I sobered up in 1999 on Jan 1st. Staying that way. When my boyfriend got hit by a car and died. I was so messed up I wanted out! A friend saved me after a night. I scared him. He took care of me. I owe him everything. I am happier today than ever.
@@nikkisixx569I am so honored to get a reply. I still listen to your music. I’ve read your books. I think you rock! I’ve been sober for over 10 years! Life is good.
@@donnakayahern3179 Thank you very much dear, I really appreciate your love and support towards me and the band. I hope you are having a good day? Thanks you for being my great fan I hope you never stop listening to my musics.
I always wondered why they never interviewed the paramedic who saved him. And why he never gave any credit to to Steven Adler or his girlfriend who keep him alive.
I'm so proud of you guy's...I'm a recovering heroin addict n know's what you went through n how hard it is to kick it.. I wouldn't dare to touch heroin these days...I really would have liked to seen you guy's in concert...
Way back I was dating a musician. We went to a studio in LA that MC was using. I asked to use the bathroom he said the band in the room next to us MC screwed it up but it's down the hall. As I was walking down the hall Tommy Lee was walking down the hall just leaving the bathroom himself. I go in there the sink was pulled off the wall the tank lid was on the floor in pieces! Pipes and broken ceramic everywhere gross! Lol true story.
