Product Description
The most influential, enduring, and iconic metal band of the 1980's reveals everything a tell-all of epic proportions. This unbelievable autobiography explores the rebellious lives of four of the most influential icons in American rock history. Motley Crue was the voice of a barely pubescent Generation X, the anointed high priests of backward-masking pentagram rock, pioneers of Hollywood glam, and the creators of MTV's first "power ballad." Their sex lives claimed celebrities from Heather Locklear to Pamela Anderson to Donna D'Errico. Their scuffles involved everyone from Axl Rose to 2LiveCrew. Their hobbies have included collecting automatic weapons, cultivating long arrest records, pushing the envelope of conceivable drug abuse, and dreaming up backstage antics that would make Ozzy Osbourne blanch with modesty. Provocatively written and brilliantly designed, this book includes over 100 photos, many never before published, for the most exciting and insightful look ever into the Crue.

 Motley Crue Rock's!!!!!!!!!!! August 28, 2008
The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band Motley Crue, the name say's it all, but the "Rock God's" also showed how human they are through their MANY loves, loses, & to still, be on top & together after all these Year's!!!!!!!!! KEEP ROCKIN' MOTLEY CRUE!
If you only read 430 pages this year, read the pages of The Dirt. August 27, 2008
This book is incredible!! I read it cover to cover. What I love about this book most is that it is written the way these guys would speak. For example, after every sentence Tommy writes, it finished with bro, or dude.
The stories written give you such a great insight as to how these men became some of the most notorious rockstars of all time. From their earliest memories growing up, til a few years ago. At times, it can be confusing as to what really happened as the stories are told from a few different points of view, but that further allows you to see who these guys are.
The advenutures and the (many, many, many) nights of debauchery, the numerous near death experiences and overdoses, the personal tragedies of each man. This book has it all. And in perfect, descriptive detail.
I wouldn't, however, recommend this book to people with a weak stomach, but to anyone else who has any interest in rock music and the lifestyle, I personally guarentee you won't be able to put this one down. I seriously can't describe enough how good this book is.
COULD DO WITHOUT THE CRUE, BUT NOT WITHOUT THIS BOOK August 23, 2008
I picked up this book after reading Nikki Sixx's "The Heroin Diaries" (also great). I'm not a fan of Motley Crue, but this book captured my imagination. The members of the band and associated business partners really pulled me in.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys sex, drugs, and/or rock and roll.
best gift for your husband August 23, 2008
I am not a fan of Motley Crue, but my husband is. I got this for him as a Valentine's day gift. He LOVED it! He couldn't put it down. Now that he finished reading it he is reading it all over again.
 good book August 13, 2008
i liked this book, the only down side was that they mentioned SOOO many names in the middle of the book or their producers, agents, blah blah that it made me lose my track. After that section though it got better!
