This Is Gonna Hurt Music, Photography And Life Through The Distorted Lens Of Nikki Sixx is all Nikki Sixx. It is a collection of compelling photography and stories that capture the rage, love, optimism, darkness, and determination that shape his work. It chronicles Sixx's experiences - from his early years filled with toxic waste, to his success with Motley Crue, to his death from an OD, and his eventual rebirth through 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 reluctantly ordered and then read this book, based on the recommendation of a co-worker who told me over and over how good it was and how much I would love. So I ordered it and it sat in my magazine rack at home until I reluctantly picked it up and started reading it on a rainy Saturday afternoon. After one chapter, I was HOOKED and could not put it down.I was never a big Motley Crue fan. I liked their radio hits, but that's as deep as it went for me. But these guys tell their stories in a way that has you rooting for them and they almost make you feel sorry for them - even though they are treating women like crap, drinking like fish, doing more drugs in a day than most people could handle in a month, stealing each other's girlfriends, you name it. There are specific stories that will stay with me forever - Ozzy Osbourne snorting ants out of a sidewalk crack at a hotel is one of those stories.
The Motley Crue guys are non-stop crazy, non-stop over the top and just plain NON-STOP. I had this book read in two days (and it's a THICK book) and was sad when it ended. I wanted more. Reading this book didn't make me more of a Motley Crue fan but it was the most entertaining and interesting book I've read in a long time and one that will stay on my bookshelf for years to come. I highly recommend it to all Motley Crue fans and fans of good rock and roll stories.

This Is Gonna Hurt Music Photography and Life Through the Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx (Audible Audio Edition) Nikki Sixx HarperAudio Books Reviews
This is one of the best music memoirs I have ever read. I mean, everything I ever thought about Motley Crue and its individual members before I read this book turns out to be mostly true lol The way each of them gets to tell their POV of the same event is really cool. It's really a riveting read and not a dull moment and again, I gotta say, poor John Corabi lol Anyway, I would love to see a follow-up too as this book is now 17 years old. Since then, they did another album with all four original members, they have now retired the band (permanently?) and did their last tour. Also since then, their personal lives have changes a lot. More divorces, new relationships/breakups (multiple) and marriages. Of course, there's not been a dull moment in the lives of these men since 2001 even though now they are in their 50s and 60s and most are grandpas now. I am still sure there's more story to tell and would love to see a part two! In the meantime, I am looking forward to "The Dirt" movie that will be on Netlfix this year. They just wrapped shooting.
After reading this book, I walked away with a new found respect for the band and each member. They all had(have) their issues, but you can't say they didn't actually LIVE LIFE and all are still alive and kicking as of 2018 and still doing music, but I still recommend this book even if it's been a minute because the tales are all relevant especially as it relates to their 80s heyday. Had such a ball reading this!
Very plain, simple writing and crazy ass stories as you might expect. This is fascinating to me as a kid who grew up in the 80s and listened to hair bands all the time. It's a fun, crazy, crazy, indulgent read for a 40 something year old guy so many years later. Highly recommend (if you're not easily offended by insane behavior) and think it'll blow anyone's mind who had a normal upbringing...these guys had such messed up childhoods! Eye opening.
Another fast read. I read autobiographies of everyone, of late, people, bands, places of when I was young. Of the four band members, Nikki was the most in depth. This tells of the bands beginnings, their decadence, splits, personal lives, and everything in between, from not only the four band members, but others in management that added a view point beyond, or other perspective of the four.
If I had to choose one of the four to be friends with, it would be Mick. The things that Nikki, Tommy and Vince describe doing, especially to groupies, are beyond me. Some people may say a groupie deserves what they get, but there are boundaries.
I still give it five stars; for even though growing up I could have cared less about their personal lives, they did not seem to water down the debauchery as they looked back and wrote this as middle aged men, and perhaps with maturation that should be gained over the decades. We all knew this book was not going to be about a band of choir boys.
