No mention of Joe Strummer or Patti Smith? Primal Scream had some good lyrics too.

Fell from grace, I lost my faith
My heart feels like a stone
I’m payin’ the price of of a drunken night
I’m wastin’ in the twilight zone

Broke the spell, I hate myself
The light of love don’t shine
A woman’s touch can cost so much
I’ve lost my pearl messin’ with swine

Fly me home on a big jet plane
Fly me home through the thunder and rain
Fly me home to the healin’ hands
Fly me home to the promised land

Best post ever, im glad someone stands up to rampant misuse of ones opinion.

I like Nikki Sixx because he actually writes about his problems that is in a way that doesn't go out to the world and say "I wanna kill the world"!
