Sixx AM: The heroin diaries

She speaks to me in Persian
Tells me that she loves me
The girl with golden eyes
And though I hardly know her
I let her in my veins
And trust her with my life


It is not just this songs that haunts me within this record. But these verses are so touching and so descriptive...

This record was the best by far from 2007 without a doubt. A masterpiece. Nikki Sixx shows all his genius, although with Dj Ashba and James Michael with exceptional partners in this just perfect opus.

And to mention this is my japanese version with the delicious acoustic version of Life is Beautiful and a DVD extra with its video and some interviews :-)

Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?


Now it comes the best. you could think the record is good, great ...

Well, the books stands as high as the record. And it is full of stunning artwork. It is very readable and very enjoying. Now i understand the sentence 'party like a man, beast or mötley crüe' ...

As 'the dirt' Nikki is showing all his demons how not to keep a life.

Of course he was a first class asshole but you cant help admiring the immortal tunes he created ...

And if it serves people, only just one not to follow his path the book is well worth.

Absolutely recommended reading.

10/10 classic status both
