  • Asked by NME what song he would like played at his funeral, Nikki Sixx chose this tune, "because it's so appropriate." He explained: "It says, 'Promise me, you won't cry at my funeral,' and I'd like to think when that day eventually comes everyone will be able to throw one hell of a party, and tell a lot of funny stories."

  • AnonymousI think that this song realy described wat he was and well what he bacame to be but its nice that he thinks of life that way. This is an awesome song. I liked it alot.
  • Andrew from Arlington, OhSixx A.M rules I love this song it will be playrd at my funeral
  • Josh from Decatur, Alits basically a story about how while you are on drugs you cant "see" how precious your life really is and once you "open your eyes" you see it and stop using the drugs.
  • Robert from Lethbridge, AbI do believe that the lyrics

    "Will you swear on your life,
    That no one will cry at my funeral?"

    Spawned from a quote from
    Robbin Crosby

    "When I die, nobody cry at my funeral, in fact let's all have a party; I've lived the life of ten men. I lived all my dreams and more."

    But i could be completely wrong... but i am almost 100% sure that he was really good friends with him, unless i was adding my own thoughts on what he was doing in the heroin diary.
  • Syton from Colorado Springs, CoThis is an amazing song off one of the best albums of all time. No doubt.
