The Heroin Diaries

Every Tuesday I'm going to try and give an update on music that isn't necessarily audio music. a Band's biography that they recently released or a singular musician's biography.

Now! For today's non audio music fun.

The Heroin Diaries (for official website, click link)..
This bit of interesting was written by the bassist for Motley Crue. This was written in 1986 when Nikki Sixx was coked out of his mind and on any other drug he could get his hands on. He would write in these journals and diaries when he was the most messed up... little pieces of paper... what ever.

The book reads like a comic book of delusions and back and forth commentary between people who were there to witness the events that took place in the diaries... people such as his band mates, his mother and sister, his grandfather and this one annoying woman named Vanity who turned into an evangelist later in life.

The book is an interesting read for the slightly demented...
The soundtrack is wonderful as well for those who loved the lyrical content that Sixx helped with Crue... I also find it amusing that a book has a soundtrack.

For a sample... this is the song "Life is Beautiful" from the soundtrack



Much of the art in the video is featured in the book. Warning: This book is not for all ages. Reader discretion is advised.

Until next time
