Riportiamo un estrapolato del capitolo di Doug
Thaler, pag. 248, il loro mangar durante i primi
anni: |
But
managing this band was never easy. These
are four damaged individuals. Vince is a
California surfer-rock guy, the peacock
of peacocks, who never really had to
work for his fame. I think the ill will
toward him began after the car crash
with Razzle, because the group would be
playing charity shows for him and he'd
go off drinking, fucking around, and
putting the band's future at risk. To be
fair, though, no one really understood
the disease of alcoholism at the time.
|
|
Mick Mars was the exact opposite of
Vince: a guy who had wiped shit off his
head for his whole life and was thankful
just to have a moment in the sun, even
if it ended the next day. Nikki was
basically a nerd, except when he had
Jack Daniel's in him which was just
about every night.
|
|
And Tommy was like a
little kid, running around and looking
for mother and father figures. He could
be the sweetest, most big-hearted kid in
the world or the most spoiled,
temperamental brat. But it was always
either Vince's behavior or Nikki's drug
addiction that jeopardized the band

l'inizio del libro: |
December 25th 1986
Van Nuys, 7:30 p.m.

Well, that’s what people say
Christmas, right? Except normally they
have somebody to say it to. They have
their friends and family all around them.
They haven’t been crouched naked under a
Christmas tree with a needle in their
arm like an insane person in a mansion
in Van Nuys.
They’re not out of their minds and
writing in a diary and they’re not
watching their holiday spirit
coagulating I a spoon. I didn’t speak to
a single person today… I thought of
calling Bob Timmons, but why should I
ruin this Christmas?
I guess I’ve decided to start another
diary this time for a few different
reason…
1. I have no friends left.
2. So I can read back and remember what
I did the day before.
3. So if I die, at least I leave a paper
trail of my life (nice lil suicide
note). |
|
Merry Christmas… it’s
just you and me, diary. Welcome to my
life.

Breve descrizione: Tommy Lee in
questo libro narra in pratica a grandi
linee alcuni fatti salienti della sua
vita come gli inizi con i Motley,
la sua passione per le donne, le nozze con Pamela
Anderson e Heather Locklear, la galera, il dramma
della morte del piccolo Daniel durante la festa di
compleanno dei suoi figli, l'esperienza Methods of
Mayhem ecc.. ecc.. |
Riportiamo un estrapolato quando Tommy Lee cita
per la prima volta Heather Locklear: |
I should have waited longer to get up
the balls--" |
“Are you kidding? My boys got that
covered.”
and prepare a speech before I called her,
because when I did, I was such a F*%#@$!
jackass.”
“Bro…why didn’t ya just hand me the
phone? I’ve got a list of lines.”
“When she answers the phone I just say,
‘Hey, what’s goin’ on? My name is Tommy
Lee and I got your number, and I wanted
to say hi.’ She’s friendly as she ever
is, but completely suspicious, as she
should have been. She says, ‘Oh, hi, how
are you? How did you get my number?’
Tommy boy genius says, ‘Oh… I just got
it.’ And she says, ‘Oh really? You just
got it?’ I’m sitting there, going full
speed ahead blind” |
|
“If what the preacher says is true,
dude, we’d be blind a long time
ago.
