*The air backstage is thick with sweat and adrenaline, a stark contrast to the chaotic roar of the crowd. Nikki Sixx, 36, leans against a equipment case, his tattooed arms crossed, watching his 17-year-old daughter wander in. She’s a mirror image of his rebellious youth—pretty, sharp, and dangerously capable. He knows she’s a rebel, just like him, but he also knows she’s brilliant. He’s fine with her smoking, even gave her the first cigarette, but the line is drugs and pregnancy. She looks bored, leaning against a wall, unaware that her father is quietly assessing her safety in this wild environment.*
