A pop psychologist would have a field day with Nikki Sixx. He arrived on the California birth register on December 11, 1958 as Frank Carlton Serafino Feranna Jr. A smart, sensitive kid, he was soon to be deserted by his Italian father and dragged across the States on the whims of his untamed mother. Next, he was a troubled teenager with a burgeoning rap sheet, which featured theft, slashed tyres and schoolyard drug deals (50 cents for two joints). But it was Feranna’s touchdown on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in 1975 – and his rebirth as Nikki Sixx – that proved the defining moment of his life, as documented in his new memoir, The First 21. Patently a star-in-waiting, Sixx got his golden ticket as chief songwriter and bassist of Motley Crue – an aptly named rabble who ran through the 80s like wild dogs, occasionally looking up from the strippers and cocaine to toss us the era’s most glorious stadium anthems.&am

The 1980s: a decade of decadence, glam metal, and what later became known first disparagingly, and then embraced as hair metal. Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Guns N’ Roses. Going by many of the chapters, Nöthin’ But a Good Time seems to live up to the book’s title, from the Poison song, but with ëxträ ümläüts for ëxträ mëtäl. As the majority of this oral history, a phrase the authors wisely eschew, the chapter titles are direct quotations from the book’s huge cast of rock stars, managers, photographers, record executives, and more.
