When You're High You Never,Ever Wanna Come Down(Chapter 22) [Epilogue]

Well, this is it. The end of this story. I feel so close to all my characters and everything, it's kind of hard to let it go. I've never actually finished a story before, this is a first. I'd like to thank my readers; without all the feedback and commentary, I would've just given up on this shit. I can't thank you all enough, my men. All my notebooks look like a little battlefield, with scratched out stuff and scribbles, it's amazing how far we've gone. A special thanks to Bree:…

When You're High You Never,Ever Wanna Come Down(Chapter 21)

"Wait wait wait, WHAT happened?" Jude asked the nurse.

"I said that Mister Sixx left. He went back home, I think he said. I don't know, Miss, I really don't! One minute he was dead, and then the next, he'd gotten up and left the hospital without signing out!" The nurse said. "The rest of the boys left before this happened. Nikki was revived after the persistance of a fangirl, but the rest of them were gone by then."

Jude and Tracy stared at each other.…

When You're High You Never, Ever Wanna Come Down (Chapter 20)

~December 24th, 1987~ (Christmas)

I sat in the closet, rocking. Myknees up to my chest, crying and rocking. I didn't want to be at the hospital. I didn't want to hear the doctor say it.

Nikki Sixx had finally died. His fate and addictions finally caught up to him. I knew it, I was sure. Nikki is dead. The words hit me like a thousand needles. Ugh, I didn't want to think about needles.

Why? WHY did you do it, Nikki?…

Scorpions...We all know the middle of the story, but don't forget the beginning and the end!

OK, back several years ago when EYE to EYE came out I heard a review on it that didn't sound so great, I had just got married (thank god that's over) so maybe I was sidetracked but either way I really lost touch with one of the greatest musical artists' of all time in any genre of music. About 3 years ago I discovered early scorpions, it was different but it was cool and it was all new to me, "Lonesome Crow"… Continue

When You're High You Never, Ever Wanna Come Down (Chapter 19)

~December 22nd, 1987~

It was so close to Christmas and still no sign of life from Tracy. He didn't tell anyone, but "LOVESICK" was written on Tommy's forehead. He loved Tracy, and that was that. He didn't want to pick any other groupie out of the lot of Crueheads, he wanted her. Her lips, her eyes, her face, her voice, her all. Ad not having Tracy smiling at him from the crowd of Motley Crue fans, sitting front row to always support him, or not having her say…

When You're High You Never, Ever Wanna Come Down (Chapter 18)

~November 5th, 1987~ Day off, New Orleans~

Sometimes it seemed as though the book of Love's Rules and Procedures were written in a foreign language to Nikki Sixx. If he didn't have dope in his system, he didn't know how to act and feel comfortable in his own skin. The drugs controlled him. Nikki wanted to stop and get better but he just couldn't stop now. He feared that if he sobered up, Jude would too and she'd leave him. After all, wasn't it the drugs and sex the only two…

CD REVIEW: Bangalore Choir - "Cadence" (2010)

Led by former Accept singer David Reece, Bangalore Choir hit the scene in 1992 with their debut album, "On Target" and to this day, it is still one of my absolute favorite albums of the genre. It's severely overlooked and I have always wished that Bangalore Choir got to release more material. Well, this year it happened. Bangalore Choir is BACK ladies and gentlemen and it they are definately making up for lost time.

"Cadence"…

Rush Time Machine Tour

It has been on a Huge Rush kicking this week, ever since watching that outstanding documentary on the band. (Even if you don't like their music, really there’s no way you can hate the guys in the band after seeing this movie.) So just imagine the excitement when you heard that a new edition of Guitar Hero is coming in September based on Rush's 1976 amazing epic 2112. Exclusively, the 20-minute, seven-song suite that opens the album is the focus of the game. The award-winning and much-admired… Continue
