This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography, and Life Through the Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx

by Nikki Sixx Narrated by Nikki Sixx

Overview

This is Gonna Hurt is music, photography, and life through the distorted lens of Nikki Sixx, bassist for heavy metal rock band Mötley Crüe's and the New York Times bestselling author of The Heroin Diaries. A combination of powerful prose and dramatic photographs, This is Gonna Hurt is an arresting, deeply personal look through the eyes of a real rock star at a stark, post-addiction world.

Editorial Reviews

"Photo sessions for me are like injections of life. I pace back and back forth impatiently, like a man with a machine gun, and trust me when I say I have an itchy trigger finger.....Sucking up my ego and picking up my cameras, I was off to the crack district. It took 10 minutes to get there from our five-star hotel and three hours to get Kimo to allow me to enter the most dangerous alley in Vancouver.... "I had once rented a whole brothel in Thailand just to make some photographs." Nikki Sixx's This Is Gonna Hurt is part pictorial, part journal, and, in every way, a testament to the dark side sensitivity of the legendary Mötley Crüe bassist. Raw, powerful, and strangely piercing.

Library Journal

"If you don't deal with your demons, they will deal with you, and it's gonna hurt," says Mötley Crüe's Sixx, author of the New York Times best-selling The Heroin Diaries. Here Sixx reflects on his postaddiction commitment to music, photography, and family. The 150,000-copy first printing says it all.
