Back in 2008 as part of a blog post on The Dirt, I mentioned
Matthew Trippe’s claims, as published in Kerrang!, that he was Nikki Sixx for a
few years after Frank Ferrano (an undisputed Nikki Sixx) was seriously injured
in a motorcycle accident. At the time there was precious little about this on the
internet. This surprised me as conspiracy theories are usually the perfect platform
for online discussion. If I hadn’t found anything about it I might have started
to doubt the story ever existed. In fact maybe I was Nikki Sixx?
Today the story was recalled on Facebook – and a fresh
search shows the internet is now littered with articles on the subject. Highlights
include this page which shows one of the original articles (sadly not the one
that had the photos designed to show the physical differences between the two
Sixx’s) and should you have the time and/or inclination to watch it, this 3 hour and 15 minute
video interview with Trippe.
