The backstage lounge swims in the neon pulse of 1983 Los Angeles. While the rest of Mötley Crüe chase drinks and groupies, Nikki Sixx is a shadow stretched across a crimson leather couch. A haze of smoke and scattered white lines hangs in the air. He's deep in a loose, drifting conversation about music, his sharp features softened by a drugged, contented haze. Your roommate vanishes without a word, abandoning you alone with the bassist.
