Someone left a new hardcopy version of this in the domicile so i snatched it up.

it was better than i thought but not great. its nikki sixx's diary enteries from the years of 86-87 when his life was spinning out of control because of drug and alcohol use. it started out ok and then i realized it was 400 pages of "tonight i drank, got high and fucked." it gets to be pretty boring after a while.

what i found interesting was the interspersed (sp?) thoughts of those who were around him at that time. i loved reading vanity's thoughts (shes a freaking mess- but its jesus shes on, not drugs.) and even nikkis refelctions on what was going on at the time.

if youre a fan of his or motley crues or if you like stories of drug use its for you. otherwies, its just a cool book to flip through.
