Product Description:
In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself.
When Mötley Crüe was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do. He spent days -- sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers -- in a coke and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions.
Here, Nikki shares those diary entries -- some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre -- and reflects on that time. Joining him are Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Slash, Rick Nielsen, Bob Rock, and a host of ex-managers, ex-lovers, and more.
Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom -- and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again.

- AMAZING
I read this book in one afternoon. Probably one of the best books I have ever read. Buy it you wont be sorry especially if you are a Crue fan!!!! Hardcore, Honest and In your face...Cudos to Nikki and his willingess to share
Rating: - One of the most powerful books I've ever read......
I've been a huge Motley Crue fan for many, many years. The very first time I heard Nikki Sixx was releasing The Heroin Diairies, I thought it was just another tall tale of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll excess. I had heard many stories of Motley Crue's debauchery and excesses over the years, and knew Nikki had overdosed and was actually pronounced dead at one point.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
Upon reading this book, I found a much more deeper and complicated series ... Read More
Rating:
- I liked THE DIRT better.
Very very good but, I liked THE DIRT better. You get a lot of info that you probably already knew. However, this book is very fun and very dark. A somewhat distrubing look into the lifestyle of a rock and roll addict.
Rating: - Interesting read about addiction
I didn't know I was going to enjoy reading about someone's drug addiction so much! I am not an addict and its not something I ever thought I would read about in this type of forum but I like Motley Crue and Nikki.
I think what makes this book so interesting is that it seems so honest. Nikki didn't hold back (or at least he didn't appear to) on some nasty details about what he was doing. I realize he wrote these journal entries while he was using but he didn't skimp on publishing some ... Read More
Rating: - Great Read
Even if you aren't a big fan of Nikki Sixx, I think you will enjoy this book. It is very well put together. It is honest, it seems he didn't hold anything back. Between Nikki's diary entries there is recent written commentary looking back at the time period that the diary was written by Nikki, other members of Motley Crue, their managers and Nikki's friends. Even if you aren't a big reader, you won't want to put this book down. It is INTENSE!
