Product Description
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, toughest 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, ongoing the bloodiest fights, partied with the largest 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 composition industry cringing to this day. All these unspeakable acts, not to mention their dire consequences, are laid bare in The Dirt.
Here — directly from Nikki, Vince, Tommy, and Mick — is the unexpurgated version of the whole glorious, gut-wrenching tale. In these pages, published for the first time anywhere, are Tommy Lee’s letters to Pamela Anderson from prison: Mick’s confession to having an incurable disease that is slowly killing him; Vince’s experience burying his own daughter — and the train wreck that his life became afterward; and Nikki’s anguished struggle to deal with an entire life fueled by rage over his childhood abandonment, his discovery of the family tree he never knew he had — and his subsequent loss of them. And all of it accompanied by scores of rare, never-before-published photographs, mug shots, and handwritten lyrics. No one is spared. Not David Lee Roth, Ozzy Osbourne, Vanity, Aerosmith, Heather Locklear, AC/DC, Lita Ford, Iron Maiden, Pamela Anderson, Guns N’ Roses, Donna D’Errico, RATT, or persons two girls from Dallas, Texas.
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 essential rock ‘n’ roll band. And if you don’t judge it, read The Dirt. You don’t know what decadence is…

They already told it all in their Behind the Composition. Getting drunk, wrecking a car, killing a friend and maiming two people is not cool. Sorry Vince, but that’s not “rock and roll.” And then we learn that Nikki Sixx lapped up Ozzy’s urine after Ozzy passed out and peed his pants. Pathetic.
One star is generous.

If you’re already a fan of the band you’ll probably delight in this book. If you’re not then don’t bother. If you’re reading it looking for an in-depth account of drug addiction or the “rock n’ roll lifestyle” place it down and read Anthony Kiedis’ Scar Tissue as a replacement for, its much more detailed and much better written. If you’re not a fan and looking to become even less of a fan then by all means go yet to be and add to you’re list of reasons to avoid these guys.

If you can’t judge a book by it’s take in,then this is the exception. Better title: Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse.Nothing different here from additional rock clones, except the year 2002 brings us right raunch.The only surprising thing about this book is how ANYONE from front to back ends up lacking a fatal STD.Steaing clothes from a homeless chick- real class,dudes. Lacking a doubt,self despise exudes from the literary authors(The Crud),and every individual,most especially,the women-linked with these narcisstic juvenile delinquents. Licking the flames of hair spray & fire is excellent practice.There is a fire that will burn forever…..

If this is supposed to be the best in rock writing, then rock really is dead. Here we have the tale of next to no talent musicians who can’t write and play composition to save their lives, telling their sad and pleased tales of life in the rock and roll meat food processor. Its incredible that a book this long can take up so many pages telling you next to nothing. Page after page of nothing but excess in taking drugs, the groupie scene, more drugs,more groupies, with an occasional change of scene and then back to the same ancient dull things. I got dizzy just reading this junk and went back to see if it got better. It never does. I establish myself laughing out loud at some of it. All these groupies and no parenthood suits? No hush money? Nothing about paying them off to keep silent? No STDs? No death threats from jealous boyfriends and additional miserable people? I’ve read a number of books about the fantastic life celebrities are supposed to have… its anything but. If rockers know that groupies are after their money and status, then why do they keep going to bed with them? Then its the number of groupies these guys aver to be with and yet no problems. What it must be like to be a rock star… if only that were right. Do they have unlimited funds to pay them off? Or is it just another rock legend? Most people who have kicked off drugs spend years in rehab and more years after that drying out. Yet these guys do drugs as if running out and come out of it lacking hardly any problems. Man, give me a break. This is the dirt alright, dirt thrown in your eyes. The Dirt is just another in a long line of hyped up bunk to take your money, while having you fantasize. Its not even a excellent fantasy. Sixx supposedly had 30 or so groupies in one day. He had a few groupies before a concert and a few others after the concert. The authors forgot to mention that to pull that one off he must have consumed a “mountain” of viagra or additional sex stimulants. The rock group Hanoi rocks, questioned the claims of these guys and its simple to see why. Millions of records sold etc. means millions of dollars in their and producers pockets. They get your money and you still fantasize. The book should be sold in the fiction section of the bookstore.
