      I agree and a guy who dropped out 11th grade and had a horrible childhood. Nikki six is a very bright guy. I believe his real name is Frank Corbetta and if he had a great childhood, I could see him being like an engineer make an 80 grand a year instead of the legendary rocker so he chose the right way, but wow And you gotta love Tommy Lee just have no idea what’s going on and some of these questions I would just say it’s just the pain. The pain is laughter, laughter, and pain. Not a big deal.

Addicts just have this hole in them that they try to fill with dope and sex in order to forget they have that hole in the first place. But I will say that some of the deepest and most interesting conversations I ever had were in my years as an addict with other addicts. I think maybe the problem is that addicts feel too much. We are usually very sensitive ppl and we can't process all that emotion properly so we try to use drugs as a dampener.

    Maybe not true but as the story unfolds I guess he had no idea how to play the bass guitar till the doctor feelgood album he told the record producer he needed bass lessons because he didn't know how to play. They used a different method of getting the records out. Like I said might not be true.
