Greetings,

MATTHEW TRIPPE
Motley Crue's secret member by Ed Turner
"The Troubadour, LA's Sunset Strip. Early 1983. Mid-afternoon. This is where the story of The Man Who Would Be Nikki Sixx begins. And, in a way, ends. Matthew John Trippe had arrived in Los Angeles the year before. The 19 year old Erie, Pennsylvania native had long nurtured dreams of becoming a rock star, and would board a Greyhound bus that summer, bound for LA, intent on becoming one. While he arrived in Los Angeles with little in the way of personal belongings, in a deeper sense, Matthew Trippe would never quite leave behind the baggage of a childhood and upbringing riddled with self-doubt, pockmarked by his own sense of hopelessness."
