Celebrate thirty years of the world's most notorious rock band with the deluxe collectors' edition of The Dirt-the outrageous, legendary, no-holds-barred autobiography of Motley Crue. Fans have gotten glimpses into the band's crazy world of backstage scandals, celebrity love affairs, rollercoaster drug addictions, and immortal music in Motley Crue books like Tommyland and The Heroin Diaries, but now the full spectrum of sin and success by Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, and Mick Mars is an open book in The Dirt. Even fans already familiar with earlier editions of the bestselling expose will treasure this gorgeous deluxe edition. Joe Levy at Rolling Stone calls The Dirt "without a doubt ...the most detailed account of the awesome pleasures and perils of rock & roll stardom I have ever read. It is completely compelling and utterly revolting." - Häftad, Engelska, 2022

Nikki Sixx is one of the most respected, recognizable, and entrepreneurial icons in the music industry. As the founder of Motley Crue who is now in his twenty-first year of sobriety, Sixx is incredibly passionate about his craft and wonderfully open about his life in rock and roll, and as a person of the world.Born Franklin Carlton Feranna on December 11, 1958, young Frankie was abandoned by his father and partly raised by his mother, a woman who was ahead of her time in some ways and deeply troubled in others. Frankie ended up living with his grandparents, bouncing from farm to farm and state to state. He was an all-American kid-hunting, fishing, chasing girls, and playing football-but underneath it all, there was a burning desire for more, and that more was music. He eventually took a Greyhound bound for Hollywood.In Los Angeles, Frank lived with his aunt and his uncle-the president of Capitol Records. But there was no short path to the top. He was soon on his own. There were dead-end jobs: dipping circuit boards, clerking at liquor and record stores, selling used light bulbs, and hustling to survive. But at night, Frank honed his craft, joining Sister, a band formed by fellow hard-rock veteran Blackie Lawless, and formed a group of his own: London, the precursor of Motley Crue. Turning down an offer to join Randy Rhoads' band, Frank changed his name to Nikki London, Nikki Nine, and, finally, Nikki Sixx. Like Huck Finn with a stolen guitar, he had a vision: a group that combined punk, glam, and hard rock into the biggest, most theatrical and irresistible package the world had ever seen. With hard work, passion, and some luck, the vision manifested in reality - and this is a profound true story finding identity, of how Frank Feranna became Nikki Sixx. And it's a road map to the ways you can overcome anything, and achieve all of your goals, if only you put your mind to it. - E-bokEngelska, 2011

Mötley Crüe''s bassist presents a collection of prose and photographs revealing a look through the eyes of a rock star at a stark, post-addiction world."I''ve always had an eye for the oddities in life. Even as a kid I saw the world in my own way and thought most things that were different were beautiful and magical. Even things that other people thought were horrifying and disgusting and weird. . . . People say I have a distorted lens. I think I see things as they really are."Few of us have experienced life with the intensity, fury, and reckless abandon of Nikki Sixx, the wild rock star, driven entrepreneur, devoted father, former addict, bestselling author, and gifted photographer.This Is Gonna Hurt is part photography book, part journal—but all Nikki Sixx. It is a collection of compelling snapshots and stories that capture the rage, love, optimism, darkness, and determination that shape his work. Told with the raw authenticity that defined his New York Times bestseller The Heroine Diaries, This Is Gonna Hurt chronicles Sixx''s experience, from his early years filled with toxic waste to his success with Mötley Crüe, his death from an OD and rebirth to his addictions to music, photography, and love.Love story, bad-ass rock tell-all, social commentary, family memoir, This Is Gonna Hurt offers the compelling insights of an artist and a man struggling to survive, connect, and find a happy ending—a search that fuels Sixx''s being. "I want to take you on the journey I am on, in real time," Sixx writes. "If you don''t deal with your demons, they will deal with you, and it''s gonna hurt." - LjudbokEngelska, 2011

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. - LjudbokEngelska, 2017

Nikki Sixx:vom Landei zum RockstarÜber seine Zeit mit den Skandalrockern von Mötley Cüre und sein drogengeschwängertes Leben danach berichtete Nikki Sixx bereits in den erfolgreichen Rock-Biografien The Dirt und The Heroin Diaries. Jetzt geht er in seinen Erinnerungen ein Stück weiter zurück und blickt auf die ersten 21 Jahre seines Lebens: auf die Zeit, als er noch nicht Nikki Sixx, sondern Franklin Carlton Feranna war.Der kleine Frankie wuchs in ungeordneten Verhältnissen auf: Der Vater verließ die Familie früh, seine Mutter kämpfte mit ihren eigenen Dämonen und gab den Jungen oft bei seinen Großeltern ab, die als Arbeiter von Farm zu Farm und von Staat zu Staat zogen. Es war ein ländliches Leben, bei dem Jungs angelten oder jagten, sich für Sport begeisterten und den Mädchen hinterherguckten - ein Leben, von dem Frank schon früh wusste, dass es ihm nicht reichte. Für ihn wurde der Glamrock der Siebziger zum Fluchtweg aus dem familiären Beziehungschaos und der provinziellen Enge. Noch als Teenager stieg er in einen Greyhound-Bus und fuhr nach Hollywood.Für kurze Zeit kam Frank bei seinem Onkel unter, der, wie es der Zufall wollte, in der Musikindustrie arbeitete. Und nachdem ihm diese Verbindung am Ende nicht viel mehr als einen Stapel Platten von The Sweet einbrachte, biss er sich allein weiter durch: In 21 Jahre erzählt er pointiert und selbstironisch von seiner Odyssee auf dem Weg zum Ruhm, von versifften Kellern, kleinen Betrügereien, geklauten Instrumenten und miesen Jobs. Wie ein moderner Huckleberry Finn tingelt er durch eine Welt des schönen Scheins und erweist sich als scharfsichtiger Beobachter der Szene in Los Angeles. Viele spätere Rockstars kreuzen dabei seinen Weg, von Blackie Lawless bis Randy Rhoads, während er sein Ziel stets im Blick behält: eine Band, die das Beste aus Punk, Glam und Hardrock kombiniert und eine Bombenshow abliefert. Wie dabei aus dem Provinzjungen Frank Feranna der Rockstar Nikki Sixx wird, ist eine faszinierende Neuerzählung des uralten amerikanischen Traums - und der wahrhaftige Beweis, dass man alle Widerstände überwinden kann, wenn man nur fest genug daran glaubt. - LjudbokFinska, 2022
