I bought the Sixx A.M. CD which is the rock opra-ish sound track that goes with the Book The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx of Motley Crew. The book is an autobiographical account of Nikki Sixx’s Journal from about Christmas 1986 to about the same time 1987. In his insane cocaine and heroin crazed world he kept a detailed journal, the book is the actual written account plus commentary from friends, colleges and band mates sharing there perception watching him go through it….. from the outside looking in so to speak.
Now, I have to say I haven’t purchased the book yet only the album, but I’m so completely truly blown away. I haven’t stopped listening to it in a week, I’m hooked. I did read the first book the Dirt which is a precursor to the Heroin Diaries. Wow this is no Motley Crue CD, this is a piece of art. Nothing like what you would expect from Nikki Sixx, maybe from Pete Townsend or even Pink Floyd. It’s really a great album, and I say that because the sound track to the Heroin Diaries is a full experience from beginning to end. Much Like Tommy and the wall, yeah I said the wall, it’s that good. Nothing like that is released these days with maybe the exception of American Idiot years ago. Check it:
