I’m a huge Motley Crue fan, but I was late reading Motley bassist\/songwriter\/founder Nikki Sixx’s most recent book.<\/p>

The First 21:\u00a0 How I Became Nikki Sixx, was released in 2021, and as the title suggests, covers Nikki’s first 21 years of life leading up to the formation of Motley Crue.<\/p>

The book actually starts more in the present about Motley getting back together (a few years after their “Final Tour”) to do a stadium tour.<\/p>

Once Nikki talks about that, he goes back in time to the early years of his family, him being born, and a lot of things that happened in his first 21 years of life.<\/p>

This is not a long read, but it is a fantastic read.<\/p>

I highly enjoyed this book.<\/p>

Yes I’m a fan, but I would have loved it anyways because I am such a music fan and a fan of autobiographies.\u00a0<\/p>

Autobiographies are my favorite type of book and even though Nikki has put out other books (The Dirt, The Heroin Diaries, This Is Gonna Hurt) he still has a lot to say, and he went into much more detail about his early years in this book.<\/p>

Again, not a long read, but such a great book, though.<\/p>

Check it out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
