My dad did drugs and drank when he was a teenager and he got sober, he told me growing up that he was worry that I would follow down a dark path like he did after he passed away in 2017 I finally read Nikki’s book and I am making a vow that I will never touch drugs I don’t even like to take headache medicine yay I’m a bit paranoid I don’t want to end up how my dad was. Nikki thank you for the amazing book I’m proud of you for staying sober
Street drugs booze pills cancer sticks bummer but thought if as cool or the in thing or to fit in I guess till you get out if that life and really get a life again so sad kills and messes up so many people if all walks if life it's hard but there is hope give it a try you will be glad you did and so will your family and friends be pray and try hard it will work good luck

optic_metalhead It's just amazing isn't it. Almost too hard to believe isn't it? He died twice, addicted to heroin or cocaine depending on which interview you watch, and didn't even die permanently or go broke.
I am a female bassplayer from Amsterdam Holland, I played heavy metal and I have had my share of problems with all kind of drugs and alcohol. I met Motley Crue in the Hard Rock Cafe after a concert they gave in another city. Nikki and I have the same kind of life so we kept on talking anddrinking the rest of the night. He will be okay. Hewill
Ryan Campbell I totally agree. Mick Mars was never given credit for his participation in the band. He was basically ignored by the other band members. What a shame. Mick added as much talent as anyone else in the band.
Agree Peppi. Nikki might have had the vision, but Mick and Tommy were/are the only ones with any real musical ability. They held the band together musically, esp live. I can't imagine them even bothering to try and play live if all 4 members only had the talent of Vince and Nikki. Yikes.
Exactly. People crap on Mick's guitar playing. He isn't Steve Vai, but he was perfect for Motley. Sure, Nikki Sixx wrote the tunes, but I'm sure he gave Mick song skeletons and a loose riff and Mick beefed them up, wrote the solos and most of the melody. Mick and Tommy are the 'music' behind Motley Crue. Really, when you listen to Motley, other than the vocals and drums, 99% of what you are hearing IS Mick Mars. Nikki just played root notes, mirroring whatever Mick was playing...essentially thickening up Mick's rhythm track.
gotta remember who brought him into the band.....no nikki, no crue....simple as that and quite literally, since well nikki was the one who started the band and picked out those guys tommy lee and mick marrs included. if it wasnt for nikki piecing that band together based on what he wanted the band to sound like crue wouldnt have been more than another glam band on sunset trying to make it and prob not named motley crue....not saying mick wouldnt have been in another band doing those same riffs but it would be motley crew. Nikki had a vision and he built his vision and mick's playing was apart of the sound he was looking for.
Nikki cheated death and became an unrecognizably different person. I also cheated death and became an unrecognizably different person. Thank you for existing Nikki!

I sure do love all the Mick Mars comments on here. He is a huge part of their sound. I fully agree that he is ultra-underrated.God bless him. I'm going to make a little statue.
@Beverley L Foster Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
As a young woman, it was Tommy, now Nikki, but the talent? I'm gonna say it's Mick all the way. Tommy and Nikki have great songwriting skills, Nikki's ability to write and make us KNOW it, he's easily one of the most talented song writers, musicians. My fave bassist. Tommy is my fave drummer. Vince, he's a great showman and had the vocals. I don't want to be negative, but my voice isn't the same as 25 years ago either. Mick wasn't the sexiest, but his guitar playing and hands were wow!
Mick was criminally under rated in the whole 80s Rock scene. I got to see Motley Crue tour with Ozzy in Dallas in 1984. Yes I'm old. LoL But I have been lucky and bought tickets to 4 different tours and took my vacation time from work to go see what was supposed to be the Final Show from those guys. While working as a Stage Tech at my local arena venue , after being sold to Travis Scott I got to build the roller coaster that was Tommy's drum set up.
Tammy Sigmon Mick is sick...he should have played in Motorhead looking normal denim and longhair like before he joined MC as his tone is cutting and unique for it's time.
Mötley Crüe is only Mötley Crüe when all four members are there contributing. When Vince Neil left, was fired, or quit, depending on who you believe, the Crüe didn't work. As Nikki said, when the four of them get together, crazy shit happens! You can't explain it, you can't describe it, except it is absolutely incredible and insane all at once. I've seen them well over 15 times in concerts, from opening for Ozzy to headlining arenas, Amphitheaters, everywhere! They ALWAYS entertained you 150%, every single time!
Nikki has really helped a lot of people I think I love his music and him I wish only the best for him and his family may he and Motely Crue run to infinity and beyond
Some 28 years ago I was a female version of Nikki;a great mass of black hair, black and white jeans and long coat, and knee high boots with stiletto heels. I was a female bassplayer and I worked in a heavy metal club in Amsterdam where I live. One evening the Crue just walked in, and Nikki and I started talking and drinking Jack Daniels. He loved my look and the fact that I was a bassplayer too. We went down town after my shift, and we got so drunk,I did not even know how I got home. But I found a little note next to my bed;he brought me home. Nikki is a gentleman when he wants to. Last thing I remember was us walking on the street, holding eachother so we would not fall on our face. Great guy.
Motley was one of the few bands that made an impression. I always loved Crue music, and I will until the end. Crue, thanks for a lot of good music, a lot of great shows and memories.
It's the same reason everything is a conspiracy and the Earth is flat again and every comment section is full of swearing and name calling. People think they know everything and can't be told anything so they hate, swear and name call. A bunch of losers trying to get positive attention on themselves by throwing negative attention on everyone else. I've seen people on here that knew every rock star personally and their whole lives too, people who have done everything and people that know everything, They're probably just so pathetic in their real lives they have nothing better to do. It's sad.
Motley Crue was never a critics' band, and they knew that. They may not have been the most musically talented band of their time but they were FUN. Rock and roll is about entertainment and stimulation, and they did that like few bands could.
Slippy Jones Because no one loves Nikki more than Nikki Sixx. Do you actually believe he was beat back to life with a baseball bat? Seriously? Nikki claims to be a photographer and he constantly tells the same stories. Why has he never shown fans his original diaries? Not the book... the actual diaries? If they were real he would post them daily, he would have pictures of them and videos all over because he never shuts up about it. He says he did heroin because his hero’s did, what a following poser! Then come to find out he didn’t even play his bass live on stage, he used protools. God damn it, I want a refund for all those shows I’ve seen.
I think it showed his true spirit and the kind of dude he really is when he opened that home for runaways and trying to be a role model and an inspiration
He doesn't have to be the lead singer. He was gorgeous when he was young and he's gorgeous now that he's older. Happy birthday Nikki it's just a couple of days. I give almost anything to talk to you. You're beautiful inside and outside!
Absolutely f***king love The Crüe! I’m so glad Nikki survived! He’s amazing! It’s so hard to be a kid who loves these bands, cause you know any day they could stop the music or tours or even die and to know you may never see them play hits hard. #crüeheadforlife #loveyounikki

so awesome of him to start a place of arts for kids to go to. this story is an eye opener to what drugs do to people. I'm very proud of him to overcome& find peace & help others. Right on man \m/
I am glad he survived it, Nikki is a very talented individual and he was given a third chance to do it right. And he has shared that story, seemingly helping many other addicts. I believe THAT was the reason he survived, so he could tell his story and save others from the darkness he was in.

You truly are an inspiration for me.
Alchohol does that to ya. We had a guy who used to live next to us, who we thought was in his 70’s verging 80’s… turns out he was around 49 (same age as my dad at the time). That guy was a heavy drinker.

I'm crying... What a rude awakening for this fan. I remember, 1980-81. Me, outta high school, the #1 Band, for me, Motley Crue. My life was so untouched by drugs "YET", alcohol, weekends only...Crue carried me through Topless Dancing, drinking, meth, cocaine, and the worst life ever could I have led. So it turned out I was similar to them, no rockstar, by no means, but addicted oh yeah, kick start me !! So no heroin "yet", thanks to a person I love in recovery from heroin. Thanks, my Birthday Dec 22nd. I loved this Doc..oh wow!!! Thanks Nikki, and Crue for hitting bottom each will live his rockstar life. Bless each of you. I hope for you continued Rockin' blessed.
No one knows the real world of Rock and Roll ! When you are there , you're there . If you don't know , you don't , Iv'e been there . Now Mr Sixx has lived that life of Rock and Roll and survived . Yes He was always the brains , the vision and the main songwriter !
He truly is an inspiration when it comes to addiction. He helped me realize the common signs of addiction and I'm so honored I got to witness him perform live with Sixx AM a concert i'll remember forever.
Ive been sober from alcohol 30yrs. I starte doing methamphetamine in 2022 and in 2023 i had a stroke and 2 heart attacks. Meth just about killed me. When they were taking me to hospital i went into respiratory, failure and kidney failure. I was brought back to life 2x. I beat the reaper and now have been cleanfrom meth 1yr. I still listen to motley crue but listen sober.
Nikki's songs got me through my mother's bout with mental illness and my parents temporary separation, from age 10-13 you helped me so thank you nikki.
Best book I've ever read! Extremely inspirational and a reminder that know matter what addiction don't care who you are or what you have. But as a recovering addict whether I know you or not we are all distant family and pray for all of us using or recovering everday!! Thank you nikki six for one of the greatest books ever wrote!
Nikki I've always loved Motley crue and Started listening to Sixx Am the past couple years. I finally started reading the herion diaries and I'm over half finished. I am a herion addict who dabbles in coke and speed and lived for alcohol. I've almost got a year clean and its because of the help the book has given me and the Stength I've pulled out of myself....a few weeks ago I almost went back. Ty for sharing your story. Your words helped me not to relapse.. 🙏🌻Kat**
In the early 2000's I played in a band. It went from being the best time of my life to the biggest nightmare of my life. Me and other band mates liked to drink but one member loved pills, alcohol and acid. He went from being dedicated to our music when we wrote and practiced to practice can wait. He wanted to live tge rock star life style 24/7. I could be sitting at home writing and he would walk 2 miles to get to my apartment and wanted me to drive him to "some place". I did it once and ended up in a neighborhood that neither of us needed to be. He had me stop at a house while he went in. It felt like I sat in my car for an hour. He came out and motioned for me to come in but I refused. When he finally got back in the car he acted completely insane. He would roll his window down and hang halfway out and yell at people. I had to grab him by his belt loop to pull him in the car. He would turn the music up as loud as possible then he went from cd to cd. He would listen to one song then put another cd in. He went through about 10 cd's. At one point he got in my face and started screaming nonsense words. A couple times he grab the steering wheel and I thought we were going to wreck. I finally got him home and in his house. His girlfriend wanted to know where he had been because he evidently walked out when she left the room. I told her I wasn't sure where we went but he was all messed up when he came out of the house and got in my car. She actually got mad at me. I told her he had tried a couple other times to take him "some where" but I refused. I told her that he showed up at my place and had a fit to be taken to a neighborhood that I had no idea where it actually was because he had me take back roads and dirt roads. I finally told her she needed to deal with him because I was tired of it. I quit the band a couple weeks later.
I have never been a fan of the type of music but I really admire him and his accomplishments and overcoming addiction as well as his life growing up. Really amazing talented person.
The only way I can describe heroin withdrawl is, "there comes a point during withdrawl that the one and only thing you fear is that you may actually survive". I was brought back to life twice in the same day/night. I been clean for 2 years and havnt looked back. Nikki, stay strong. We clearly have reasons to stick around....Be Cool All.
Withdrawing from heroin, opioids has got to be the worst feeling ever to exist. I withdrew for a little over a month plus coming off cocaine my mind was mush. I was actually accusing people of poisoning me!
Alcohol withdrawal is one of the drugs that can kill you. I’ve been through alcohol withdrawal after a month of drinking and blood testing at .4 which is coma territory and it’s fuckin horrible. It’ll bring the strongest man to his knees. Took a full week before I could sleep. Shaking and insomnia, full hallucinations. I would watch movies on the wall that were as real as the phone I type on while shaking involuntarily, hot then cold then hot then cold. Just waiting for a seizure to destroy you. I did this while also going through opioid withdrawal also.
@@Jumpingjackflash123 I'm so glad you are here and survived. I'm currently praying for my oldest son to come off of alcohol. I worry so much about him. Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad he made it through , his story will help save others through his trials , life and tribulations ect... Love The Guy. God Intended Nikki To Live & He Did.
Nikki and I have the same background, with the drugs and the music. I told him I was clean for more than a year and he would do it too he said. I did not really believe him,but he did it!!! I am so f******proud of him

Man Motley went way beyond. They are truly blessed to still be breathing. I'm glad Nikki six turned his life around. I doubt we will see a band take it that far ever again. If you haven't read heroine diaries, it's a pretty good read. I was actually suprised.
@kimberly Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
I remember when I first heard of them in 83-84. I didn't know that Nikki was already doing heroin then. I remember him talking about him talking about seeing his own body from above, decades later. I really love this band. regardless of the haters that considering them nothing past a 'hair metal' band
I’m an old lady now But back in the late ‘80s, Motley Crue was my favorite (hair) band ....alongside Metallica. Anyways, I had no idea about Nikki and heroine. No idea he “died.” No idea of his struggles. A very informative video. Saw the Crue in Florida. Brother and SIL took me to see them as a birthday gift. Was maybe 15-16. Our seats were the cheapest. SIL brought binoculars (she concerts!). As I watched thru binoculars, I saw nothing different from their MTV / VH1 videos. Just here to say Nikki Sixx was my very first crush So many of my years later: I’m thrilled with what he has accomplished! I always knew hw was beautiful inside and out By the songs he wrote
I fucking LOVE Motley Crue! Have since I was 11 in '82. I still listen to their shit almost everyday. I consider them like family. You're the shit Nikki. Love ya bro
Some like the violence Some like submission Some use aggression Some use a bullet in the head to be brave Some like the evil Some need the power Some bleed in vain Some get a bullet in the head instead My mum bought me Theatre of Pain when i was about 6. I loved that album and played it all the time. In 2005 i finally got the chance to see the crue live in adelaide and i thank god i did. Anyone that says vince cant sing, well your right, but he bought so much power and attitude, his voice is obviously synonymous with motleys sound and i love it, his lyrics and sound are quite brutal. The power of the band is something to behold, ive never found that thrill of excitement and power in any other sound. The only thing that has ever come close was gangsta rap. Im now 36 and its 2018 and i still pump motley out of my very grown up SUV, i love it. Growing up in the country i could only dream what the city was like and i just always imagined it was like the sound of motley crue. At most stages of my life i wouldnt even say motley crue was my favourite band but they were always near the top and have endured for me. The sound, attitude, thrill and excitement they created keeps me coming back. Its dangerous, its fucking exciting, and its powerful as fuck. They dressed like girls u say? Oh then married heather locklear, pamela anderson, donna de erico etc, yeah good argument. It was a style and it was 1981, if you dont get it, bad luck.
I died 2 times. Both in an ER. I never died by drugs, but I almost died, and I had to move 1000 miles away from everyone I knew. I sobered up in 1999 on Jan 1st. Staying that way. When my boyfriend got hit by a car and died. I was so messed up I wanted out! A friend saved me after a night. I scared him. He took care of me. I owe him everything. I am happier today than ever.
+Rosario Verano no chance. he might have detailed the events in his book, but that was pure fiction. the story of him dying more than once only enhances his legendary status in the eyes of foolish rock fans.
Why would I be there? I'm not A junkie/drug addict, LOL! Listen, everybody who wants to know understandS that Nikki Sixx is a liar. C'mon, the band doesn't even play live in concert. Their instruments are not plugged in LOL
I almost laughed. Wrong. I'm American and I can spot a liar and phony when I see one. Just ask around. People will tell you how fake Motley is. Or search youtube if you want to
listen, i'm no fool. there are many, many Motley fans who woke up and smelled the shit the band have been serving the fans for decades. just look up the info on You Tube. you will find evidence of Motley playing with backing tracks and Vince not singing live vocals. do you think the background vocals are live coming from Nikki and Tommy and Mick and the dancers? LOL! What a fool believes!

Heroin is no joke and anyone who can get off of it has my respect... especially of you are not a multimillionaire rock star, it takes the most incredible determination to get your life back...
I quit heroin on accident. The people that sold were sketchy, the people that used were sketchy. Smoked black tar for a year. Ended up just going back to alcohol after I stop hanging with those sketchy people. Wasn’t hard at all to quit. But heroin wasn’t my drug of choice, alcohol was my first love.

Nikki Sixx is my male side of my personality, so much like me it is scary n cool n he is my idol as well as alter ego!;; I am a 66 yr old woman, who came up in the 1960's as a young teen, in the 1970's as a teenager and my life from 13 yrs old till 17;yrs old was a carbon copy of Nikki's partying n music experiences, other than not actually dying twice n resurrecting, I was a hippie, turned, Glam rocker, turned heavy metal front person n songwriter, among some of my occupations, ballet dancer, musical theatre player, exotic dancer, burlesque dancer, motel manager twice- I lived the "live fast n die young" lifestyle just as Nikki did. My nickname is Nikki Styxx!!! I hope someday I can actually meet him because it would be like meeting the male image of myself!;!! You DO have everything you could ever hope for, Nikki, n you truly are my idol!!!! This was a great video, especially hearing Nikki narrate as well as watching the Crue perform all the early music which is still my favourites!!! The old motto of our group was "Live fast, die young n leave a good looking corpse." I am 66 so obviously I did NOT "die young", but my lifestyle is still the same on a much more lower key level, but it always goes back to the 🎶 music, that is what stairs our souls!!!!

gotta remember who brought him into the band.....no nikki, no crue....simple as that and quite literally, since well nikki was the one who started the band and picked out those guys tommy lee and mick marrs included. if it wasnt for nikki piecing that band together based on what he wanted the band to sound like crue wouldnt have been more than another glam band on sunset trying to make it and prob not named motley crue....not saying mick wouldnt have been in another band doing those same riffs but it would be motley crew. Nikki had a vision and he built his vision and mick's playing was apart of the sound he was looking for.
,100% right Mick is one of the most underated guitarist in the world. He's as good as slash
Nikki cheated death and became an unrecognizably different person. I also cheated death and became an unrecognizably different person. Thank you for existing Nikki!
I came close to death once. It does change you - but you do come back with a vengeance - stronger.

Really! Pity I say!
I sure do love all the Mick Mars comments on here. He is a huge part of their sound. I fully agree that he is ultra-underrated.God bless him. I'm going to make a little statue.
GOD BLESS ALL OF THEM!!!!!

Mick Mars is by far one of the most underrated guitar players in music
Mick mars is a fucking hack
As a young woman, it was Tommy, now Nikki, but the talent? I'm gonna say it's Mick all the way. Tommy and Nikki have great songwriting skills, Nikki's ability to write and make us KNOW it, he's easily one of the most talented song writers, musicians. My fave bassist. Tommy is my fave drummer. Vince, he's a great showman and had the vocals. I don't want to be negative, but my voice isn't the same as 25 years ago either. Mick wasn't the sexiest, but his guitar playing and hands were wow!
Mick was criminally under rated in the whole 80s Rock scene.
I got to see Motley Crue tour with Ozzy in Dallas in 1984. Yes I'm old. LoL
But I have been lucky and bought tickets to 4 different tours and took my vacation time from work to go see what was supposed to be the Final Show from those guys.
While working as a Stage Tech at my local arena venue , after being sold to Travis Scott I got to build the roller coaster that was Tommy's drum set up.
Agreed mick mars is a beast!!!!!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻
He's my guitar hero, they never die! 🤘😎🎸
Smartest thing Nikki ever did was finding Mick Mars!
Tammy Sigmon Mick is sick...he should have played in Motorhead looking normal denim and longhair like before he joined MC as his tone is cutting and unique for it's time.
Tammy Sigmon Mars, Vince and Tommy have the musical talent
Dam right Mick Mars fucking rocks
Mötley Crüe is only Mötley Crüe when all four members are there contributing. When Vince Neil left, was fired, or quit, depending on who you believe, the Crüe didn't work. As Nikki said, when the four of them get together, crazy shit happens! You can't explain it, you can't describe it, except it is absolutely incredible and insane all at once. I've seen them well over 15 times in concerts, from opening for Ozzy to headlining arenas, Amphitheaters, everywhere! They ALWAYS entertained you 150%, every single time!
Nikki Six doesn't contribute anything to music, He is a talentless dick
Nikki I quit using and drinking after reading your heroin Diaries thank u for keeping it real
Hell yeah
ur a weak pussy

I hope you're still clean Cynthia Morris. Ive relapsed many times and I have finally gone 6 months without benzos
I agree with Nicky Slade....stay strong and love YOU.
Some 28 years ago I was a female version of Nikki;a great mass of black hair, black and white jeans and long coat, and knee high boots with stiletto heels. I was a female bassplayer and I worked in a heavy metal club in Amsterdam where I live. One evening the Crue just walked in, and Nikki and I started talking and drinking Jack Daniels. He loved my look and the fact that I was a bassplayer too. We went down town after my shift, and we got so drunk,I did not even know how I got home. But I found a little note next to my bed;he brought me home. Nikki is a gentleman when he wants to. Last thing I remember was us walking on the street, holding eachother so we would not fall on our face.
Great guy.
To say im envious, is an understatement. All the guys from The Crue seem amazing. I'd love a chance to meet them
Wow! You’re a cool 😎 chick!
Really ? Wow, you can know this forever how cool xx❤
Great story
@@nikkisixx569 I’m doing great as I have woken up today !! Honoured to have read your story and sending you nothing but positive vibes!! Xx
Motley was one of the few bands that made an impression. I always loved Crue music, and I will until the end. Crue, thanks for a lot of good music, a lot of great shows and memories.
Why is there so much hate in these comments? I'd take Crue over MOST of the current rock that gets radio play in the US ANY DAY.
It's the same reason everything is a conspiracy and the Earth is flat again and every comment section is full of swearing and name calling. People think they know everything and can't be told anything so they hate, swear and name call. A bunch of losers trying to get positive attention on themselves by throwing negative attention on everyone else. I've seen people on here that knew every rock star personally and their whole lives too, people who have done everything and people that know everything, They're probably just so pathetic in their real lives they have nothing better to do. It's sad.
+Scottrick LaRoque You said it better then I could sir and did it with class. I completely agree with you!!
+Izzy Waan Seriously?? I know you have to be educated, so don't post vacuous comments.
Motley Crue was never a critics' band, and they knew that. They may not have been the most musically talented band of their time but they were FUN. Rock and roll is about entertainment and stimulation, and they did that like few bands could.
Slippy Jones Because no one loves Nikki more than Nikki Sixx. Do you actually believe he was beat back to life with a baseball bat? Seriously? Nikki claims to be a photographer and he constantly tells the same stories. Why has he never shown fans his original diaries? Not the book... the actual diaries? If they were real he would post them daily, he would have pictures of them and videos all over because he never shuts up about it. He says he did heroin because his hero’s did, what a following poser! Then come to find out he didn’t even play his bass live on stage, he used protools. God damn it, I want a refund for all those shows I’ve seen.
I think it showed his true spirit and the kind of dude he really is when he opened that home for runaways and trying to be a role model and an inspiration
Absolutely incredible story. And an incredible band. God Bless em all especially Nikki!
I always wondered why Nikki was never a lead singer for a band. He has a greats voice, and is pretty darnn articulate.
I noticed that. He seems well educated!
@@2MyHills he isn't
Seriously, he already writes the lyrics and crafts most of the songs!.
He is. The band is Sixx AM.
He doesn't have to be the lead singer. He was gorgeous when he was young and he's gorgeous now that he's older. Happy birthday Nikki it's just a couple of days. I give almost anything to talk to you. You're beautiful inside and outside!
Absolutely f***king love The Crüe! I’m so glad Nikki survived! He’s amazing! It’s so hard to be a kid who loves these bands, cause you know any day they could stop the music or tours or even die and to know you may never see them play hits hard. #crüeheadforlife #loveyounikki

I am glad he survived it, Nikki is a very talented individual and he was given a third chance to do it right. And he has shared that story, seemingly helping many other addicts. I believe THAT was the reason he survived, so he could tell his story and save others from the darkness he was in.

@@nikkisixx569 I will always support you. I was a teenager when I first heard Mötley Crüe. Today, turning 49 soon, I still love your music. It was hard getting your music sometimes, being from South Africa and having had sanctions, we didn't get all the great rock and metal music back.
Thank you for being the person you are.
You truly are an inspiration for me.
That’s amazing!!! Died 3 times…it warmed my heart that he fought his demons and now helps kids with music. Proud of him!! ❤
28:40 i love how the song, Life Is Beautiful was played during that Nikki resurrected part, it fits with the song and the situation so well...
I am so glad Nikki Sixx came back to life ❤
Notice Nikki looks 15 yrs younger than Tommy. Because he's been clean and sober for years.
Alchohol does that to ya. We had a guy who used to live next to us, who we thought was in his 70’s verging 80’s… turns out he was around 49 (same age as my dad at the time). That guy was a heavy drinker.

I've always loved Nikki Sixx. His Heroin diary book and album is a masterpiece. God bless you Nikki and all of the Cru.
I'm crying... What a rude awakening for this fan. I remember, 1980-81. Me, outta high school, the #1 Band, for me, Motley Crue. My life was so untouched by drugs "YET", alcohol, weekends only...Crue carried me through Topless Dancing, drinking, meth, cocaine, and the worst life ever could I have led. So it turned out I was similar to them, no rockstar, by no means, but addicted oh yeah, kick start me !! So no heroin "yet", thanks to a person I love in recovery from heroin. Thanks, my Birthday Dec 22nd. I loved this Doc..oh wow!!! Thanks Nikki, and Crue for hitting bottom each will live his rockstar life. Bless each of you. I hope for you continued Rockin' blessed.

The Toxic Twins were Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Nikki & Tommy were the Terror Twins, but that's Fuse's fault for getting that wrong lol
Steve Clark and Phil Collen from Def Leppard were The Terror Twins.
the original twins were jagger and richards...the Glimmer Twins...for similar reasons to the other Rockstar twins
Your name!!! 😂😂😂
No one knows the real world of Rock and Roll ! When you are there , you're there . If you don't know , you don't , Iv'e been there . Now Mr Sixx has lived that life of Rock and Roll and survived . Yes He was always the brains , the vision and the main songwriter !
You guys should read the Nikki Sixx book,Heroin diaries ...Its amazing.
Heroin Diaries wasn't that good.
Just finished The Dirt. I could read it again right now. Unbelievable!
I really want to
I read it...basically all in one night! It was very intense and very real! Loved it!
I loved it so much, I read it twice!
Motley Crue who? ooooo that is my all time favorite rock band since 90es..in 2019..i still am...
CRUELOVERFOREVER!!!
He truly is an inspiration when it comes to addiction. He helped me realize the common signs of addiction and I'm so honored I got to witness him perform live with Sixx AM a concert i'll remember forever.
Nikki and I met in Amsterdam where I live, I am a female bassplayer and we were drinking and talking all night. He is a great guy
I love Amsterdam. Been there 4 times!! Im in FL, USA

I still listen to motley crue but listen sober.
Im proud of you!
Nikki's songs got me through my mother's bout with mental illness and my parents temporary separation, from age 10-13 you helped me so thank you nikki.
Best book I've ever read! Extremely inspirational and a reminder that know matter what addiction don't care who you are or what you have. But as a recovering addict whether I know you or not we are all distant family and pray for all of us using or recovering everday!! Thank you nikki six for one of the greatest books ever wrote!
Nikki I've always loved Motley crue and Started listening to Sixx Am the past couple years. I finally started reading the herion diaries and I'm over half finished. I am a herion addict who dabbles in coke and speed and lived for alcohol. I've almost got a year clean and its because of the help the book has given me and the Stength I've pulled out of myself....a few weeks ago I almost went back. Ty for sharing your story. Your words helped me not to relapse.. 🙏🌻Kat**
In the early 2000's I played in a band. It went from being the best time of my life to the biggest nightmare of my life. Me and other band mates liked to drink but one member loved pills, alcohol and acid. He went from being dedicated to our music when we wrote and practiced to practice can wait. He wanted to live tge rock star life style 24/7. I could be sitting at home writing and he would walk 2 miles to get to my apartment and wanted me to drive him to "some place". I did it once and ended up in a neighborhood that neither of us needed to be. He had me stop at a house while he went in. It felt like I sat in my car for an hour. He came out and motioned for me to come in but I refused. When he finally got back in the car he acted completely insane. He would roll his window down and hang halfway out and yell at people. I had to grab him by his belt loop to pull him in the car. He would turn the music up as loud as possible then he went from cd to cd. He would listen to one song then put another cd in. He went through about 10 cd's. At one point he got in my face and started screaming nonsense words. A couple times he grab the steering wheel and I thought we were going to wreck. I finally got him home and in his house. His girlfriend wanted to know where he had been because he evidently walked out when she left the room. I told her I wasn't sure where we went but he was all messed up when he came out of the house and got in my car. She actually got mad at me. I told her he had tried a couple other times to take him "some where" but I refused. I told her that he showed up at my place and had a fit to be taken to a neighborhood that I had no idea where it actually was because he had me take back roads and dirt roads. I finally told her she needed to deal with him because I was tired of it. I quit the band a couple weeks later.
Nikkis voice puts me at ease

im just happy Nikki is happy ,looks great and he is still with us!
Hey Nikki, you have saved my life in so many ways ❤
The only way I can describe heroin withdrawl is, "there comes a point during withdrawl that the one and only thing you fear is that you may actually survive". I was brought back to life twice in the same day/night. I been clean for 2 years and havnt looked back. Nikki, stay strong. We clearly have reasons to stick around....Be Cool All.
Wow I knew it was bad but not that bad
Withdrawing from heroin, opioids has got to be the worst feeling ever to exist. I withdrew for a little over a month plus coming off cocaine my mind was mush. I was actually accusing people of poisoning me!
Alcohol withdrawal is one of the drugs that can kill you. I’ve been through alcohol withdrawal after a month of drinking and blood testing at .4 which is coma territory and it’s fuckin horrible. It’ll bring the strongest man to his knees. Took a full week before I could sleep. Shaking and insomnia, full hallucinations. I would watch movies on the wall that were as real as the phone I type on while shaking involuntarily, hot then cold then hot then cold. Just waiting for a seizure to destroy you. I did this while also going through opioid withdrawal also.
@@Jumpingjackflash123 I'm so glad you are here and survived. I'm currently praying for my oldest son to come off of alcohol. I worry so much about him. Thank you for sharing.

I remember when I first heard of them in 83-84. I didn't know that Nikki was already doing heroin then. I remember him talking about him talking about seeing his own body from above, decades later. I really love this band. regardless of the haters that considering them nothing past a 'hair metal' band
Amazing Mr.Sixx. I toured 2005-2006 Carnival of sins.
I’m an old lady now But back in the late ‘80s, Motley Crue was my favorite (hair) band ....alongside Metallica.
Anyways,
I had no idea about Nikki and heroine. No idea he “died.”
No idea of his struggles.
A very informative video.
Saw the Crue in Florida. Brother and SIL took me to see them as a birthday gift. Was maybe 15-16.
Our seats were the cheapest. SIL brought binoculars (she concerts!). As I watched thru binoculars, I saw nothing different from their MTV / VH1 videos.
Just here to say Nikki Sixx was my very first crush
So many of my years later: I’m thrilled with what he has accomplished!
I always knew hw was beautiful inside and out
By the songs he wrote
Amazing story, band & man. Nikki has been a favorite of mine since 83. 32 yrs now since I discovered the Crue. Thank you for posting this video.

My mum bought me Theatre of Pain when i was about 6. I loved that album and played it all the time. In 2005 i finally got the chance to see the crue live in adelaide and i thank god i did. Anyone that says vince cant sing, well your right, but he bought so much power and attitude, his voice is obviously synonymous with motleys sound and i love it, his lyrics and sound are quite brutal. The power of the band is something to behold, ive never found that thrill of excitement and power in any other sound. The only thing that has ever come close was gangsta rap. Im now 36 and its 2018 and i still pump motley out of my very grown up SUV, i love it. Growing up in the country i could only dream what the city was like and i just always imagined it was like the sound of motley crue. At most stages of my life i wouldnt even say motley crue was my favourite band but they were always near the top and have endured for me. The sound, attitude, thrill and excitement they created keeps me coming back. Its dangerous, its fucking exciting, and its powerful as fuck. They dressed like girls u say? Oh then married heather locklear, pamela anderson, donna de erico etc, yeah good argument. It was a style and it was 1981, if you dont get it, bad luck.
Watching this reminds me of who i really am thank for the inspiration Nikki I have a newfound respect for the person you have always been
Douglas Booth did a great job in the movie Dirt!Your life story is amazing. Wow!
Tommy Lee is so hilarious in a great way. Fantastic!
He looks like he's a about to cry half the time.... Stay strong Nikki!!! We love you!!❤❤❤💙💙
I died 2 times. Both in an ER. I never died by drugs, but I almost died, and I had to move 1000 miles away from everyone I knew. I sobered up in 1999 on Jan 1st. Staying that way. When my boyfriend got hit by a car and died. I was so messed up I wanted out! A friend saved me after a night. I scared him. He took care of me. I owe him everything. I am happier today than ever.
I love you Nikki! I saw y’all play at Cardinal Stadium in Louisville Kentucky in 1984-85?? Shout at the Devil with Ozzy Osbourne Bark at the Moon ❤

+Rosario Verano no chance. he might have detailed the events in his book, but that was pure fiction. the story of him dying more than once only enhances his legendary status in the eyes of foolish rock fans.
Why would I be there? I'm not A junkie/drug addict, LOL! Listen, everybody who wants to know understandS that Nikki Sixx is a liar. C'mon, the band doesn't even play live in concert. Their instruments are not plugged in LOL
I almost laughed. Wrong. I'm American and I can spot a liar and phony when I see one. Just ask around. People will tell you how fake Motley is. Or search youtube if you want to
listen, i'm no fool. there are many, many Motley fans who woke up and smelled the shit the band have been serving the fans for decades. just look up the info on You Tube. you will find evidence of Motley playing with backing tracks and Vince not singing live vocals. do you think the background vocals are live coming from Nikki and Tommy and Mick and the dancers?

I quit heroin on accident. The people that sold were sketchy, the people that used were sketchy. Smoked black tar for a year. Ended up just going back to alcohol after I stop hanging with those sketchy people. Wasn’t hard at all to quit. But heroin wasn’t my drug of choice, alcohol was my first love.

Nikki Sixx is my male side of my personality, so much like me it is scary n cool n he is my idol as well as alter ego!;; I am a 66 yr old woman, who came up in the 1960's as a young teen, in the 1970's as a teenager and my life from 13 yrs old till 17;yrs old was a carbon copy of Nikki's partying n music experiences, other than not actually dying twice n resurrecting, I was a hippie, turned, Glam rocker, turned heavy metal front person n songwriter, among some of my occupations, ballet dancer, musical theatre player, exotic dancer, burlesque dancer, motel manager twice- I lived the "live fast n die young" lifestyle just as Nikki did. My nickname is Nikki Styxx!!! I hope someday I can actually meet him because it would be like meeting the male image of myself!;!! You DO have everything you could ever hope for, Nikki, n you truly are my idol!!!! This was a great video, especially hearing Nikki narrate as well as watching the Crue perform all the early music which is still my favourites!!! The old motto of our group was "Live fast, die young n leave a good looking corpse." I am 66 so obviously I did NOT "die young", but my lifestyle is still the same on a much more lower key level, but it always goes back to the 🎶 music, that is what stairs our souls!!!! Attaboy, Nikki Sixx!!!!! P.S. I had a cat named Nikki Sixx. He was wild n crazy till he just disappeared!!!
listening to his radio show, you dont think he's the kind of person who would do this.
Kamren Apelskog Or looking at him.
Heroine/opiates/cocaine changes everyone. They are no longer themselves. They are the drug. It can happen to ANYone of any background/moral fiber

If you notice that Mick Mars is never seen with them out in public. He's actually about 10 yrs older than them. He spent his time with his family. He'd been in bands for years before joining Motley.
TheMeJustMe75 mick mars was a true musician that did his part took it serious got his cut and enjoyed life without destroying himself
Read the heroine diaries in rehab and it really helped me luv u nikki
Motley Crue, Iron Maiden and Metallica were the music that I listened to in high school back in 89 to 91!

omg I did not know someone left him in a dumpster. horrible people in this world. I'm so glad Nikki is doing better now. \m/ \m/
Sounds just like me, I swear I'm also a musician, and I'm still struggling every single day, and I gotta give it to you man, you are strong
Don’t compare yourself to Nikki
Nikki your still a Rockstar! Helping people being there fir friends keep strong positive vibes
Why is it hard to believe someone defied death 2x? Someone very close to me died once, brought back by paramedics with Narcan. Second time around he was in a coma for 3 weeks, came back and is now sober, happy and healthy.
