say what you want about Nikki Sixx, but he is a dedicated musician. as a teenager, he would sit on the floor writing "Shout At The Devil" while everyone partied around him

as teenagers, Crue members would befriend girls who worked at the grocery store so they could get free food, but they always paid for their own booze, it was "a matter of pride"

Except, Roth passed on it in typical Roth fashio

If that's your thing.
I won't like anyone who is as morally/ethically bankrupt as this dirtbag.
I am not so naïve to think Stixx was the only guy partaking of minor groupies and drugs. In that era, they pretty much all did.
The problem I have is this 63 year old teenager still thinks it was cool. And making light of the fact he literally raped a girl... at least one.

This admission?

I honestly don’t recall a lot of the interviews with Neil,” referring to Neil Strauss, who wrote the book with the band.

He added: “There is a lot of horrible behaviour in the book. What I can tell you is that we all lived to regret a lot and learned from it. We own up to all our behaviour that hurt ourselves, our families, friends and any innocents around us.”

So at least one rape occurred. Who ended up doing the time for the crime?

You have no idea what you missed, man. None. The 80s were a blast.

Then the miserable Marxists in the dirty flannels and scruffy beards showed up in the pacific northwest in the early 90s and everything that followed was a downer. Just pure misery inducing noise. In fact, it's no irony that much of the political misery today originates from the same pacific northwest states.

The music industry itself is to blame. I guess they thought everyone was having too much fun and grunge was their response to ruining it all.

A lot of the European nations kept it going, though. So most of the misery was relegated and aimed toward American markets.

Never got into grunge, it seemed depressing like where they came from. The 80's hair bands are a hell of a lot more fun.
