Wikipedia Bad-Ass
My first Wikipedia Bad-Ass is the legendary Nikki Sixx!The
bassist and co-founding member of Mötley Crüe.
Here is an extract from his Wikipedia Page.
Early life
Nikki Sixx was born Frank Carlton Serafino Feranna, Jr. on December 11, 1958 in San Jose, California.[1][16][17] He is of Italian ancestry on his father's side. Sixx was partially raised by his single mother, Deana Richards,[1] and by his grandparents after his father left the family.[1] Nikki later moved in with his grandparents after his mother abandoned him. Sixx relocated several times while living with his grandparents.[18]While living in Jerome, Idaho, Sixx became a teenage vandal, breaking into neighbors' homes, shoplifting, and being expelled from school for selling drugs. His grandparents sent him to live with his mother, who had moved to Seattle.[19] He lived there for a short time, and learned how to play the bass guitar having bought his first instrument with money gained from selling a guitar he had stolen.[1]
He changed his name to "Nikki Sixx", he said, because of
[a] long road battling a guy who walked away from me, named Frank Serafino, who was my father, and me saying, "[Fuck] you, I am gonna reinvent myself, you weren't there for me, and I am gonna become a man, called Nikki, create my own family and [fuck] you." At some point you gotta go. I carried that [fucking] baggage around for a long time, so [I] let go of that.[2]
