Example text

So I taught them the new song and everything was OK. TOMMY LEE: Nikki was turning up to the studio for the Girls Girls Girls sessions in a bit of a fucking mess. I guess we were all a bit of a mess, but Nikki definitely went that one step further than the rest of us. He’d show up really late, he and I would chase the dragon in the bathroom, then we’d go back into the studio to try to work. I think it’s fair to say our focus was on the drugs and not on the music. VINCE NEIL: I knew Nikki had a drug problem right back when we were doing Shout at the Devil.

The problem was, I carried on smoking–and then started injecting–long after the pain was gone. Fuck, there were clues I was becoming a junkie. You’d need to be pretty self-obsessed to miss them, but if I was one thing back then, it was self-obsessed. When Vince Neil went to jail for twenty days, I didn’t visit or phone our singer once. It never even occurred to me: it would’ve been a waste of valuable drug time. By the end of the Theatre of Pain tour in ’86, I was on my way to becoming a full-blown junkie.

Vince Neil was in another booth with a girl, arguing, and Vince suddenly stood up and punched her in the face. m. Vanity showed up yesterday with a mountain of coke…it kind of altered the day. I’d been doing good until that point. I’d got a good night’s sleep for the first time in days. I even managed to take a shower and pick up my guitar. But since this is a new diary, let me tell you about Vanity…she used to be a backup singer with Prince, or so she says. We meet for all the wrong reasons and have only one real thing in common–drugs.
