The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band
Whiskey and porn stars, hot reds and car crashes, black leather and high heels, overdoses and death. This is the life of Mötley Crüe, the heaviest drinking, hardest fighting, most oversexed and arrogant band in the world. Their unbelievable exploits are the stuff of rock 'n' roll legend. They nailed the hottest chicks, started the bloodiest fights, partied with the biggest drug dealers, and got to know the inside of every jail cell from California to Japan. They have dedicated an entire career to living life to its extreme, from the greatest fantasies to the darkest tragedies. Tommy married two international sex symbols; Vince killed a man and lost a daughter to cancer;Nikki overdosed, rose from the dead, and then OD'd again the next day; and Wick shot a woman and tried to hang his own brother. But that's just the beginning. Fueled by every drug they could get their hands on and obscene amounts of alcohol, driven by fury and headed straight for hell, Mötley Crüe raged through two decades, leaving behind a trail of debauched women, trashed hotel rooms, crashed cars, psychotic managers, and broken bones that has left the music industry cringing to this day. All these unspeakable acts, not to mention their dire consequences, are laid bare in The Dirt.
Make no mistake about it: these guys are geniuses. They invented glam metal and then left it in the dust; sold more than forty million albums from Shout at the Devil to Dr. Feelgood; toured the world dozen times and have the scars to prove it it; and maintained a rabid following in an era of throwaway pop stars. Mötley Crüe has done nothing less than tattoo the psyche of the entire MTV generation. They are the ultimate rock 'n' roll band. And if you don't believe it, read The Dirt. You don't know what decadence is.

I couldn't put this book down! Even if half of what they say is true, it's still pretty friggin' great! I am amazed that any of them are alive! - Amazon viewer
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the best autobiography book that I ever read. Mötley Crüe was one of the most influential bands from the LA scene in the 80's, but they also personified every Rock'n'Roll cliché which was invented by Led Zeppelin, but they put into practice!!. Everything you can imagine is in this book, which explains it all from the beginning and is rich in anecdotes from those wild years. A must read, not only for Mötley Crüe fans, but also for every person interested in those crazy years. BUY IT!! - Amazon viwer.
Sounds RAD
ReplyDeleteThese kind of autobiography books are my favorite. They give you a glimpse into a decade that I could have never experienced. In a way this is a good "just say no" book. They've already done everything that might get you killed, what's there left to do?
