Maloprije me Xiola podsjetila na grupu Motley Crue, i moguće je da se pojedinci pitaju tko su oni?
Pa evo:


A ovo je njihova ploča:


Xioli se dopala biografija o ovoj grupi čiji su vrhunci bili krajem osamdesetih, a svi znate da je ona jedna fina gospodja sa stilom i ukusom, kakvom se i ja sama smatram:
Sixx: Rock 'n' roll is inhumane
ANYONE who has read MOTLEY CRUE’S book The Dirt will know that there are few things the bad boy rockers didn’t get up to.
One of the most memorable parts of that book was the moment bassist NIKKI SIXX flatlines after taking heroin, and then escapes from his hospital bed with everyone still believing he is dead.
Somehow he gets home and leaves an answer machine message on his telephone proclaiming to be from the dead Nikki Sixx - while he goes off to shoot up yet again.
Hell
Such rock ‘n' roll incidents may seem darkly hilarious – if a tad hard to believe – but they only skim the surface of a personal drug hell for the bassist which was to take years to kick.
And though the stories may seem hard to swallow at times, Nikki meticulously kept a very real diary of his descent into near insanity, which has now been published under the name of The Heroin Diaries.
He told us: “I pushed the panic button again tonight. It wasn’t my fault. Every time I dared to peer out of my closet, I could see faces at the window and I heard voices at the door.
"It’s probably 50 feet from the closet to the security box but it took an hour of shaking to run there. I felt like I had to run the length of a football field.
"Then when West Tech Security arrived I wouldn’t let them in - I just kept shouting at them through the door to get away from my f***ing house or I would shoot them. Eventually they went away. Thank God I had a little junk to calm me down.”
Now, it is – thankfully – a different story.
Nikki says: “It’s 20 years since I was a heroin addict. I’m learning every day and it’s an amazing experience – how to write a book, how to be a better father. It’s quite exciting for someone that was so determined to die.”
Motley Crue shot to fame in the 80s as the epitome of rock ‘n' roll excess, but for Nikki, real name Frank Feranna, the band offered him a way out from the pain of his past.
Abandoned by his father and then by his mother, the young band member took to this life of extremes with relish, almost making a point of taking it further than everyone around him.
And that was pretty far.
He reveals: “The hardest thing for creative people, in my experience, is to have some sort of control. I used to have the pedal all the way to the floor, 120 mph, and I would just keep going.
“I don’t know if that’s an excuse, but also in music people enable you. In music and fashion, it’s part of the gig, but that is an inhumane way for businesses to be run.
“Maybe people didn’t want the money machine to stop whilst I went into rehab.
“But I take responsibility, I was a drug addict.”
Nikki doesn’t want the book to be seen as preaching and wants people to make up their own minds.
However, it is hard for anyone to read the description of a man experiencing diarrhoea and vomiting at the same time, and still see drugs as glamorous.
Maybe the likes of AMY WINEHOUSE and PETE DOHERTY should have had a read of this before they made their lifestyle choices.
Still rocking ... Nikki
Despite being uncomfortable reading at times, Nikki insists editing his diaries with music writer Ian Gittins wasn't a painful experience.
Aside from the harrowing detail, there are unexpected moments of humour, plus some tantalising details that will keep readers guessing.
Romps
In the book, he describes a schoolgirl called Becky who used to visit for regular romps. She had a “very famous” mother - so who she was will remain a secret.
Then there is the mystery of the identity of ‘Davey’, a huge rock star who advised Nikki to try a methadone programme as that was how he managed to quit heroin.
“I can’t tell you his name- but I sure loved his music growing up...” was all Nikki will say.
And he is under no illusions that he was the worst in history when it comes to rock 'n roll hard living.
He says: "I doubt I was the worst. Some people need to die so that others can live. I needed to do this so I could realise I wanted to live."


Eh, nema više rokenrola...
