Nikki Sixx Knihy

Hudba, fotografování a život viděné pokřivenou optikou Nikkiho Sixxe Kniha Tohle bude bolet baskytaristy skupiny Mötley Crüe Nikkiho Sixxe (vlastním jménem Franka C. Feranny) volně navazuje na jeho Heroinové deníky, označované za „jedno z nejotevřenějších doznání v memoárové literatuře“, protože přináší pravdivou zpověď drogově závislého umělce, jenž se dostal až na samé dno. Téma Nikkiho nové knihy stejně jako její výrazové prostředky se však ve srovnání s první knihou mění – podobně jako se ve svých postojích a způsobu života mění sám autor. Jak Nikki Sixx v mottu ke knize říká, věnuje ji těm, kdo se cítí odlišní, odcizení a společensky nepřizpůsobiví, neboť jim tato kniha může ukázat svět, ve kterém jsme všichni stejní.

Baskytarista slavné kapely Mötley Crüe nechává čtenáře nahlédnout do dávno zapomenutých deníků, které si vedl v dobách největší slávy. Popisuje jeden rok plný vzestupů i pádů, kdy mu pomalu ale jistě dochází, že by ho jeho vztah k drogám, a zejména k heroinu, nakonec mohl stát život. Rozšířené vydání megapříběhu přežití, který se stal v New York Times bestsellerem a jedněmi z „nejdrásavějších“ (Rolling Stone) a „nejsrdceryvnějších“ (New York Times) memoárů o závislosti, jaké kdy byly vydány. Kdysi padlá rocková hvězda s námi sdílí syrové a fascinující deníkové zápisky z roku, kdy klesla až na dno a také své kurážné rozhodnutí sebrat se a začít znovu žít. Nikki se v exkluzivních nových kapitolách a dosud nezveřejněných fotografiích vrací k poslednímu desetiletí, kdy je střízlivý.

The shocking, gripping, and at times darkly hilarious bestselling memoir of Nikki Sixx’s yearlong war with a vicious heroin addiction, featuring exclusive new content. 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 the diary entries—some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre—of those dark times. 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 surprisingly 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.

Nikki Sixx, a prominent figure in the music industry and founder of Motley Crue, shares his journey from a troubled childhood to rock stardom. Born Franklin Carlton Feranna on December 11, 1958, he faced abandonment by his father and was raised by a complex mother before living with his grandparents. An all-American kid with a passion for hunting, fishing, and football, he harbored a deeper yearning for music. This desire propelled him to take a Greyhound to Hollywood, where he initially lived with his aunt and uncle, the president of Capitol Records. However, the path to success was anything but easy, as he took on various dead-end jobs while striving to make a name for himself. During this time, he joined Sister, a band led by Blackie Lawless, and later formed London, the precursor to Motley Crue. After declining an offer from Randy Rhoads' band, he adopted the stage name Nikki Sixx. With a vision to blend punk, glam, and hard rock into a theatrical spectacle, he worked tirelessly to realize this dream. His story is not only about his transformation from Frank Feranna to Nikki Sixx but also serves as an inspiring roadmap for overcoming obstacles and achieving one’s goals through determination and passion.

The narrative explores the transformative journey of Frank Feranna as he evolves into rock legend Nikki Sixx. It details his upbringing as an adventurous farmboy in Idaho, leading to the creation of Mötley Crüe, a band that changed the landscape of rock music. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Sixx reveals the challenges and triumphs that shaped his identity and career in the music industry.
