Today Nikki Sixx turns 48.
Dude, now that's a number! I mean, that's not even old, but had someone told him he'd live that long, then, back in the early 80s, I bet he'd just laugh in their face.
And he did live that long! And I sure hope he's gonna live twice as long and then some. Come on, I saw his granddad - in this family, men live long and age damn nicely. :D In another 48 years Sixx is still gonna kick ass, dude!
Sixxy retrospective under the cut, just because!
Such a sweet kid, such a sweet smile, you'd never guess what's behind that and what his childhood was like.
This one's from 1982, right, Funky? I stole it from Funky and I don't quite remember. :) But I love it. Sixx, alone in the crowd, like he has always been.
This is from Shout era, I believe. Bloody great! :D
Theatre pic... and dude, these eyes ARE blue!!!
Girls era. With his dog Whiskey. I mean, I thought you had to be Nikki Sixx to name your dog Whiskey, but now that I have a hamster called Junk (which is none of my doing!), I'm not that sure anymore... LOL
That's from Dr. Feelgood, and I keep wondering to whom and for what THIS guy could be praying... :)
Decade. And three things I love combined in one pic: semi-darkness, guns and Nikki Sixx! :D
That's around 1994, I believe. Not my favorite era - for some reason, even though I like Korabi's voice, I just can't bring myself to touch anything that has to do with those years - but this pic is too cool. :)
1997? 1998? Reunion time, anyway. :) I think that was taken at a signing. Great session, I love all pics from it!
Not sure when it was, but I kind of like it. I mean, if someone was piercing MY eyebrow, I'd be yelling like a bitch that I am! But the man just smiles. :)
And this is the way he looks now. Man, two years to fifty. Former junkie. Former alcoholic. And he looks DAMN GOOD as far as I'm concerned! Eh, Italians. ;) Gotta love that folk.
If it weren't for that guy, I probably wouldn't be alive right now. Back when I was 15, it was he, his band, his music and - and I mean it! - his interviews that made me realize where I was headed and turn around. And just keep me going. So, Nikki... HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Hope everything will be fine. I wish you luck. Wish you success. Wish you happiness. Health. Everything and more. Hope that everything works out fine for you. And - ROCK ON!!! You crazy thing you.
Many happy returns of the day, dude. :)
