The New York Times–bestselling no holds barred sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll autobiography from Mötley Crüe's lead singer.
“So where do we start?
War stories. War wounds. I know, I know. Old rock stars fall hard . . . The spandex is over. I've had three plastic surgeries. Still, who do you think gets laid more, me or you? But time does change a man. I ain't twenty-one anymore.
It's a miracle we survived at all. A bottle of Jack Daniel's and uncooked hot dogs do not make for a particularly well-balanced diet. We are all very lucky we didn't kill ourselves. It might look like we were trying to do that but speaking for myself, death was never my intent. I just wanted to feel good, you know? I was just looking for that kick, that high . . .
These days I've got businesses to run. I like the action. Something to get your heart pumping. Healthier than a syringe full of cocaine powder like I was doing back in 'eighty-one with my girlfriend Lovey, that's for sure . . .
But you got to admit . . . those days are a lot more fun to talk about . . .”
“Within the rock-star braggadocio lies an entertaining story of a handsome, insecure guy with a lot of energy who got really lucky. Interviews with friends, business associates, and ex-wives bring much-needed depth to the narrative. To his credit, Neil deals honestly with the suffering he's caused.” —Publishers Weekly
