20 years ago I went to a tattoo convention on the west side of Chicago and seen Nikki walking around like an average guy. I decided to approach him. I was a bit nervous but he was laid back and talked to me for about 20 minutes. Even brought me to an artists booth where I got a tattoo.

Man, that’s an epic story. I sometimes fantasize about running across people I haven’t spoken to in years and I envision them as not believing that it’s me and them thinking “man, that guy really made it”.
Now THAT is a great story! I knew a friend in Idaho who swore to me he lived a couple doors down from Nikki in either Jerome or Twin Falls, (I can't remember which) and my initial thought was, "No friggin' WAY did Nikki Sixx live in rural IDAHO!" But looks like I was wrong all along...
Man what a story I could just imagine the memories in the shock that girl felt when she found out who her former boyfriend frank really was and what he did and I can just imagine how Nikki felt when he found out she didn't know what he did all these years man 😌
@@paulbednar_volvocars I’m a hypocrite to laugh at this. 🤣 (Not a recovered addict, but selective of the people who are allowed to be laughed at. Nikki seems like he can take it. lol)
I went to Jerome High School too . I was transplanted there in 1974 because my father worked for Tupperware. I must have just missed him and I was very active in the band there.
Solid story. Nikki looks good for a man who rode the roller coaster of an extreme lifestyle. Hell he looks good without even considering the fact he lived an epic rockstar life.
Don't believe half the shit you hear. They'll tell you what you want to hear. They'll wear what u want to see. Why would a 62 yr old dress like a 15 yr old ? It's all show. And if it isn't, the guy has brain damage.
Sometimes living free and indulging urges is good for the soul. Sure beats the stress and confinement of heavy responsibility. Plus he has come out the other side with a family. So best of both worlds. Oh and he has good genes too.
When ever the Crue would come through the Boise area, Nikki would always say it's good to be home. Dave Mustaine also lived in Idaho growing up. Idaho's not so backward when two of the biggest rock musicians in the world come from here.
People don't think of Indiana for being rock and roll but Mick Mars, David Lee Roth, Axl Rose , the Jacksons , Wes Montgomery, Lonnie Mack , not to mention Hoagy Carmichael and James Dean are all from here
Just watched The Dirt this week. Didn't get rave reviews but fans will love it. Very entertaining, and from what I can tell, very close to the mark. Crazy shit
Nicki looks.fantastic for a guy in his early sixties he looks in his forties he seems like a hell of a.nice.guy just like slash rock n roll peace and love and up the irons!!maiden manic🎶🎶🤟🤟🤟🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️👍👍⚡⚡🎸🎸🎸🎸
Well she almost figured it out when she looked at a Motley Crue album, but then she saw the name "Nikki Sixx" and not Frank Feranna (the name he still had when they dated). So she probably just assumed it was someone with a striking resemblance. :-D

It would be great if we had any idea what to believe when Nikki Sixx tells a story. He'll lie about anything if he thinks it's a good story. The only time he admitted it was after he got in trouble and then he said he "'greatly embellished' or completely fabricated" the story that got him into trouble. But, everything that comes out of his mouth is a tall tale.
20 years ago I went to a tattoo convention on the west side of Chicago and seen Nikki walking around like an average guy. I decided to approach him. I was a bit nervous but he was laid back and talked to me for about 20 minutes. Even brought me to an artists booth where I got a tattoo.
The west side of Chicago?! Where exactly ?
I call BS
Pics or it didn't happen
Ig u got a New Tattoo

“She didn’t even buy the record” 😆👍🏽
Send her one for Christmas.
Man, that’s an epic story. I sometimes fantasize about running across people I haven’t spoken to in years and I envision them as not believing that it’s me and them thinking “man, that guy really made it”.
lol
Keep fantasizing, David
People have different ideas of what success looks like and it doesn't always involve money or fame. External validation is unreliable.
Try showing up to a school reunion and everyone thought you’d died in Desert Storm.
@david -- yeah i fantasize running into you and say "man, you really made it!"
Now THAT is a great story! I knew a friend in Idaho who swore to me he lived a couple doors down from Nikki in either Jerome or Twin Falls, (I can't remember which) and my initial thought was, "No friggin' WAY did Nikki Sixx live in rural IDAHO!" But looks like I was wrong all along...
That was a really sweet story❤
@Therese Nydahl exactly what I was going to comment! 🥰
“Franks in a band?” That’s awesome 😃
Man what a story I could just imagine the memories in the shock that girl felt when she found out who her former boyfriend frank really was and what he did and I can just imagine how Nikki felt when he found out she didn't know what he did all these years man 😌
Nikki is the only member of the band who isn’t incredibly depressing to look at nowadays. Good for him
how bout tommy?
Mick looks like hell because he’s old and he has back problems, Vince is as much of an alcoholic now as he ever was, Tommy seems ok though
@@creativename6126 So Vince is the only one who is not sober?
I'm stunned he is 62 years old.
He looks in his late 40s at most.
How did he age so well living the life of a Rock star??
Cosmetic fillers in his cheeks. But other than that, he looks pretty natural.
Good genes
@@PeachWNK shoot'n up with Botox now 🤣
@@paulbednar_volvocars I’m a hypocrite to laugh at this. 🤣 (Not a recovered addict, but selective of the people who are allowed to be laughed at. Nikki seems like he can take it. lol)
And bear in mind: after having one of the top 5 most debauched and decadent lifestyles of RnR history.
He didn’t “end up playing” with Motley Crue. He started Motley Crue.
In that context it didn't mean joining them, but what happened with that Frank after breaking up
I thought you did.
HE'S BEEN through ALOT AND rose above
Nikki seems like a great guy to sit down and talk with. Excellent
Love sixx am. He is so down to earth. Hard to believe he is with Motley Crue. He is for sure the most well adjusted of them
Sixx is Motley Crue. Period.
Mick, as well. Older & more mature, always has been. :-)
Sounds like he’s real down to earth. Lol
Kuddos to Nikki Sixx. The fact that he can now refer to his old self as Frank shows he's come to terms with his past.
He seems so sweet so that story suited him if that makes sense.
He looks great....seems to be in great health and spirit. Good for him.
Truth
And whatever rumors or band beefs he has or had it don't matter 2 me. He's a leader in his own right. Sixx is a survivor mannnmmm
I'm not a fan but that is a great story! Very funny ending when he said she didn't even buy the album.
I went to Jerome High School too . I was transplanted there in 1974 because my father worked for Tupperware. I must have just missed him and I was very active in the band there.
Solid story. Nikki looks good for a man who rode the roller coaster of an extreme lifestyle. Hell he looks good without even considering the fact he lived an epic rockstar life.
Dude, truth be known...he faked it all.

does he have a wig?
Dude, all of us, that ran away, and reinvented ourselves, have this story. Or at the very least, we want this moment.
What that ya first girlfriend didn't know u were in Motley crue?
@@diamondd2778 🤣
When ever the Crue would come through the Boise area, Nikki would always say it's good to be home. Dave Mustaine also lived in Idaho growing up. Idaho's not so backward when two of the biggest rock musicians in the world come from here.
Ehhh it kinda is still…
People don't think of Indiana for being rock and roll but Mick Mars, David Lee Roth, Axl Rose , the Jacksons , Wes Montgomery, Lonnie Mack , not to mention Hoagy Carmichael and James Dean are all from here
How could that not be in the book?!?!?!?!?!
Imagine being in your 50’s / 60’s and dressing like a 17 year old bad boy… lol
If you have the look you never outgrow it
I'd love to have stories like these someday
My guy Nikki ! Always a lot of cool stories
Nikki has written many books; each one better than the next....
Read his first book. It was a very entertaining read. Looking forward to reading this one.
“I remember Frankie.” That’s sweet.
Franks in a band?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Hahahhaa um yes, yes he is. She missed that memo didn't she! GOLD.
Cool story!!! Nikki is such cool guy! I met him in Jacksonville Fl. after the show. Not a meet and greet.
Uncle sixx always cool👍 never old
That is a GREAT story.
We definitely need more about that phn conversation. It must have been epic.
He actually wrote some very mean things about her in The Dirt.
that's really awesome. There could be a whole movie based on that alone. LOL!
That is so surreal! Can you imagine her thoughts now?
Great story, Frankie.
That is great. Thanks for sharing
Just watched The Dirt this week. Didn't get rave reviews but fans will love it. Very entertaining, and from what I can tell, very close to the mark. Crazy shit
I really like Nikki Sixx. What a good dude,
This story is awesome 🤘
It took those 4 guys together to make Mötley Crüe. Still takes them
Unfortunately Vince Neil sounds HORRIBLE singing at this point. Band still sounds good
he is smart he moved far away from the cesspool of LA
Another cool story from "Frankie".
I’m guessing the album she had in her hands when she recognized Nikki was either Shout at the Devil, Girls Girls Girls or Dr. Feelgood.
I WOULD SAY "gIRLS gIRLS gIRLS"
Imagine if it was Too Fast For Love and she actually bought the album. Then listened to On With The Show.
Want to watch this whole interview, you need to watch 40 different 1 and 2 minute videos . Thats what keeps me from liking and subscribing.
That’s an awesome story!!!!
That Story is the Best
************ I soooo would love to be the one that got to tell her What band...."""MOTLEY CRUE""" EPIC...
Boy she has a story to tell if things get boring...LOL.....
My Hero my Idol Nickkkkiiiii Six🔥
I love this story.
Ha.. "Frankie Goes To Hollywood 💯👏💕

Nikki Sixx, we're all friends no problem
Omg, waz Susie living under a rock, how could you not know!?!
Well she almost figured it out when she looked at a Motley Crue album, but then she saw the name "Nikki Sixx" and not Frank Feranna (the name he still had when they dated). So she probably just assumed it was someone with a striking resemblance. :-D
Became a Mormon?
Happy Birthday Nikki 🎂
Great story.
Congrats on the BOOK PAESANO FRANCO 😁🤟

Have 2 admit that's a great story

Cool story..
Cool story ✌️
He threw devil horns at me from their limo coming into the parking lot of the venue. I'm sure he doesn't remember that but I sure do!
My first girlfriend realized I became a police officer and was thrilled we had split up!! :)
That's a great story
Cool story. 😎

Frank's in a band?!?
Rumor has it that she got a divorce and trying to find Frank
That's a good story.
Girl: "He's in a band?! But, he had no musical talent." Guy: "He still doesn't."
**********NIKKI SIXX IS AWESOME THEY SHOULD MAKE A MOVIE OF HIS LIFE ********* "CATER"
That is crazy!!!!
He seems like a good dude. Who knew
Anyone else look at the thumbnail think this was Charlie Day from Always Sunny?
Love it.
If he gets a polished look he would be super handsome
Is that Bradley Cooper!? In disguise

It’s ironic that you are saying this is a conspiracy theory.
Why then do you watch interviews with him?
@@AtacamaHumanoid if I thought he was lying I wouldn't watch.
@@AtacamaHumanoid I think you're lying
He's so into himself
Nikki is a cool guy
Frank IS the band
She is a good Mormon girl!
I gave my 13 year old girlfriend a Moltey Crue t-shirt for Xmas. By the time we broke up her dad said he'd run me over if he ever saw me again.
I don't believe it. The dude probably called her every day to tell her.
LOl Sweet and funny story
FRANKS IN A BAND ?
His first gig was with a band called london
my ex won the state lottery.... F me.
Who cares you’re Nikki Sixx, no better than the rest of us.
what band you in?
That is hilarious! 😄💗
Is that the allsaints kushiro or allsaints Conroy jacket?
Lol. Looked like he did in Motley Crue at aged 13.
I had know idea how cute and so well spoken 🍷💗
Awesome
