Totally underrated guitarists

You'd hate him even more if you read the book then.

And I agree with you that everybody has a different idea of what makes a good life... but my point is that it was Nikki's idea of a good life and whether we agree with it or not, he went for it and got it.

Now I don't know what Spawny's idea of a great life is, but I'm sure its not being single & living with his parents with no female company and not really socialising... so Nikki has done more to do what he wanted with his life than Spawny has so I don't think Spawn should be criticising him for it just because he doesn't agree with it.

After all that is my main point here - that whether you agree with what he has done isn't important, it's the fact that he lived his life to his full and succeeded in what he wanted to do. You can't say he isn't smart just because you don't like what he did with his life.
 
Trent isn't saying that that is the only life to have, he is saying that you need to step out of your comfort zone and experience new things. Spawny didn't even know how to go about getting a lease, he thought you just had to ring up and ask for it. Theres a few people here who are like that, they are afraid to try new things.

I agree with Trent 100% on this.

Actually Trent, I think you'll find John Corabi wrote most of the lyrics on Crue's self-titled album. Now there's an intelligent bloke, in spite of his ridiculous amount of piercings and tatoos :lol:.

See there we go, somebody with a brain :) Even though you don't think it was smart getting piercings and tattoos, you still acknowledge that he is smart in other ways. That is where Spawny is narrowminded. He doesn't like one thing Nikki did with his life, so he must be stupid.
 
A Heroin addiction that kills you (if not for the paramedics) is not a few bad experiences, you trivialise it ridiculously. Have you ever seen a Heroin addict Troops? These people didnt "make a few mistakes", they chose to inject themselves, just like he did.

Nikki Sixx did not get where he is because he is smart, he got there because he was lucky. He could have been dead countless times, and all the money and sex in the world is pretty useless then.
 
I also suspect that you'll find spawny's real life is somewhat different than his online persona may suggest. Not that I have anything to base that suspicion on.

I also think there may be a difference between being intelligent and being smart. Nikki may be intelligent (I have no reason to know either way) but he sure wasn't smart.
 
I think it's fair to say that Nikki Sixx is/was/probably always will be a fucking idiot.
However, that doesn't mean he wasn't once the driving force behind a great band, or that he doesn't have great hair.

I deal with my life how I have to, its that simple. What has Nikki Sixx being a rock star got to do with it? He is still a dumbarse who only lived due to some miracle I cant even understand, as most people would be dead 100 times over.

Of course, I love Motley Crues music :headbang: :)

How many best friends have you had become herion addicts Spawny? I have had my best mate from kindergarten to year 9 become one. I tried and pleaded with him about it, but there was no stopping him once he started.

I seriously doubt you know much at all about this, and if you do I will apologise. You have no right to say shit like that, if you don't know what the fuck you are talking about yourself. You don't ussually piss me off, but fuck you, you have done it now.
 
Did you hear about that report some guy did on rockstars and what they did and didn't do where he estimated how long they should live? Keith Richards should have died 8 years ago :D
 
And also, I can relate to Spawny as well in some ways coz I've been scared to go out of my comfort zone alot before too. One of the things that scares me the most, is going for jobs. I can't stand going for jobs because I hate putting myself out to be judged by an employer and see if I'm good enough for them and then have to live up to their expectations. I'm actually unemployed at the moment. But I've had to break out of that zone and I've been actually looking now because I need money and got an interview tomorrow for a job actually. Also I'm shy with women as well and for me to ask a girl out is definitely NOT in my comfort zone at all! I really have to do try hard breaking out of my comfort zone to do that or to make any kind of move and its not easy! But guess what? I DO IT at least! If I'm unsuccessful then at least I know I tried and she didn't like me. And you never know, having a shot and making a move may just result in me ending up happy for once... :)

So there you go. I'm just like you... I have comfort zones and alot of the time I stay in them and it takes more for me to get out of them than most people. But I still make myself do it because i just remember that if I don't I'm gonna regret it more later.

The heroin addiction is "one" mistake. It's ONE mistake (a big one of course) to get addicted. But once you are addicted its no longer a choice, its out of his control.

And maybe he didn't really care too much about dying? Hell I don't care about it! I'd rather die at 29 with and have enjoyed my 20s than die at 80 sitting in a chair wishing I had done more with my life.

Keith Richards is dead. It's only because his body is preserved in alcohol that he hasn't completely decomposed yet.

Answer? Who the fuck are you, Eddie Mcguire?

I worked at Central Station doing shift work on the platforms etc. for 6 years before I moved upstairs to the computer section.

I had to drag those Heroin addicted fucks out of the toilets, clean up their needles, their shit and urine on the floor, and empty the needles into medical waste stuff so we could dispose of them. Have you ever had to move one of them? You cannot reason with them. They arent sanitary to say the least, their needles are on the floor, their urine and shit is everywhere and how the fuck do I know if he has Hepatitis or Aids or something? Yet we still had to kick them and prod them to try and get rid of them because obviously you cant have half dead people lying in the toilets (and even in the urinal trough once, with people still going to the toilet... Thats Sydney people for you).

I know how easy it is to catch Hepatitis because they made us do a course on it before we became station assistants. Ive seen more Heroin and drug addicts in 6 years than hopefully all of you will see in your life put together. They are disgusting and really dangerous, despite being out of it on the Heroin.

We always had to watch the bins we were emptying (this was before they got rid of bins because of the terrorist thing) all the time because we didnt want to get pricked by needles, we had one guy die on the concourse due to a drug overdose, even though the Station Master tried to save his life with resucitation. Ive lost count of the number of times the ambulance was called because someone had oded on a train or on a platform. Or that we were called to go remove needles from the trains.
 
You're right that they are disgusting and dangerous in a way. But what you seem to not understand is that once the addiction has started, they don't choose to keep shooting up. They HAVE to keep shooting up. Heroin is probably the toughest addiction to beat in the world. So instead of just treating them like animals and trying to wipe the problem away by just saying "They shouldn't do it", maybe people should be a little more patient and actually try to UNDERSTAND the problem first so that they can actually have a chance at solving it.
