Kay, so my facebook told me Dean Lickyer is playing their last all ages show for a while, so I asked my dad to take me. He said yes XD
I'm very excited. I wanted to get a new outfit for the show because its at this upscale kinda bar in Hamilton.
I'm a little worried because originially it was tickets at te door, and now theres presale tickets. So I have to talk to dad about that too. I'm also worried because it said "If you are over 19, click here. If you are younger than 19 but older than 16, click here."
Does that mean I have to be 17? Goddamn rockstars. They're all hot shit because they're 19 now, so they can drink if they want to. So they're all like "Fuck you people, we want the adult audience."
Makes me sad. I have a theory that rockstars are all really sad people. Its like they've got the fame and the money, you know the whole 'sex-drugs-rocknroll' thing.
I've finished the Heroine Diaries, so now I'm onto Watch You Bleed, the Guns'n'Roses Saga. It really is all about drugs and glam. Dean Lickyer is hugely inspired by the early eighties. I'm talking the Rolling Stones (Joshua dances like Mick Jagger O.o), Led Zepplin, The Who. These were the same guys that inspired Gun'n'Roses and Motley Crue.
Nikki Sixx did heroine. Wanna know why?
"You throw up the first time you take heroine. It was terrible. I thought 'This is such a stupid drug', but I kept doing it because all my heroes did it."
I want to give them my copy of the heroine diaries. I really don't want them to be all fucked up like Nikki was.
(Totally off topic) You know how Guns'n'Roses first got noticed? Axl and Izzy were in a bar on Sunset strip and David Lee Roth came up to them and started talking to them. Later they found out he thought they were Motley Crue. That same night Nikki and Vince leaned over the rail of the VIP section to get a closer look at them. Later, Nikki and Slash became heroine buddies during Motley's 1986 tour. That was when Slash saw Nikki die for the second time in his life.
Nikki Sixx owes his life to two teenage girls who begged the EMTs to try to revive him just one more time. They did and he lived.
(Back to current topic) I'm just really afraid Dean Lickyer is going to end up like them. I mean they lived, but alot of other people's lives were lost or just totally fucked up because they were stupid. I mean theres motive right? Nikki did drugs becasue a)his heroes did it, b) he wanted to be a rockstar and thats what rockstars do, and c)he had a very broken childhood.
The thing is, back in the eighties if you wanted to be a rockstar, you went to LA. When you got there, you hung around outside of clubs to get noticed. You learned, got a reputation. Then you tried to start a band. When you're band doesnt get gigs, you deal heroine 'cause god knows you need the money. Don't look at me like that. Rockstars love heroine. Smuggled illegally from Iran, usually cheap, and it'll make you higher than a kite once you get past the dope-sickness. Thing is its almost as addictive as methadone, and thats almost impossible to get off of once you're hooked.
