NIKKI SIXX SLAMS STRYPER’S MICHAEL SWEET OVER BOOK CLAIMS
Bassist Nikki Sixx has bit back at Stryper singer Michael Sweet’s claims that Motley Crue’s biography is full of tall tales.
Crue bass player Sixx responded to Sweet’s swipe by posting a message on Facebook, claiming that the Stryper frontman had no right to comment on his experiences and his battle with drug addiction.
His post reads: “Non addicts talking shit about people who have fought for their lives to beat their addiction…..#MichaelSweet #OhHeHasABookForSale? #GodBlessTheChildrenOfTheBeast #SobrietyRocks #Sad.”
In a previous interview with Music Enthusiast, Sweet claimed Motley Cure’s official biography The Dirt – Confessions Of The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band and Sixx’s own memoir The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star were “stretched.”
In the interview, to plug his own book Honestly: My Life And Stryper Revealed, Sweet says: “Is it as controversial as Motley Crue? No, but I think half of what we hear about Motley Crue is BS anyway, like when you hear stories about Nikki Sixx dying three times and whatnot. It’s, like, how stretched is that?
Half of the stuff I read in these autobiographies I just kind of roll my eyes at, because I just think that a lot of these guys just did so many drugs and drank so much booze that their minds aren’t too clear in terms of remembering the past exactly as it went down.”
Sweet is not the first to question the credibility of Sixx’s book. Former member John Corabi previously said he found it hard to believe someone on heroin would be capable of keeping a diary.

Grow up Nikki. Why are you being such a defensive bitch? If what you are saying is true then you should just be thankful you are alive. Who cares what everyone else is saying. Sounds to me you are craving attention!
Died three times? Try for a fourth Nikki. Babbling douche bag.
Love Always,
Bobby
I never get tired of the use of the word “douche bag.” Well played sir. My hat is off to you. Babbling douche bag is even better.
As a recovering addict myself. I lost about 5 years of my life.. I DON”T REMEMBER anything. I never believed that Nikki Sixx could’ve remembered anything either. It was about making $$$ and selling books!
I guess I really don’t see much of a big deal about what Sweet said. Certainly not to get that riled up about. I enjoyed reading “The Dirt”, “Heroin Diaries” and I’m looking forward to Michael Sweet’s book. Rock on! #letsjustallgetalongforrocknroll
Nikki, I don’t know ya personally. I have enjoyed Crüe music and I’ve been a fan for a long time now/you have been very successful in the music industry, and I can respect that a great deal, but it’s all about the show, bro. I do pray that you find The Lord and allow him to use you as a witness to HIS great works. One thing’s for sure…. If you did die 2 or 3 times or whatever the number may be, it’s not a coincidence that you are here living to tell the tale. It wasn’t by your power. Most folks don’t get a second chance at life. You’re life has a purpose. HE’S real dude and if you don’t know HIM, I’d encourage you and anyone else to find HIM ASAP. In the end, you’ll be sorry if you don’t. Take care and GOD Bless!
Concur, brah. Couldn’t have said it better myself. STRYPER ISAIAH 53:5
