Summary: ...the real dirt on Motley Crue...
Review: If you can stomach the real story of a heavy metal band in the '80s - this book is for you. Nothing is held back - the band tells it like it is (was). The writing, which is written in first person by each member of the band, gives the reader a true sense of the personality behind the big hair and make-up. LOVED IT - but it is not for everyone!!

Summary: Wash all you want! "The Dirt" remains the same.
Review: These guy's have had the best and the worst of times. And who better to tell us so than The Crue themselves, If you have ever wondered what is like to be a rock star, you have got to read this. From $200 an hour hookers, to Nikki and Tommy's kid's being in the same class at school, this book say's it all atleast I hope that was all, I can't imagine there being anymore than this. Then again we are talking about The Crue, so I feel certain there will "The Dirt 2"! LONG LIVE MOTLEY

Summary: The Good, The Bad, the Ugly
Review: By the time I finished this book, I felt like I needed to be in rehab!!! Oh man, I would not even try to live vicariously through these guys, I was worn out just reading of their exploits!!!The book does more than just detail the party times of the Crue, it delves into candid,personal aspects; detailing the good, bad, and ugly of their collective careers and private lives. Believe it or not, there are moving, poignant moments in the book that reveal the gentlemen of Mootley Crue to be, ta da, human! If Tipper Gore ever thought the lyrics of Motley Crue were outrageous...she'd wet her pants over this book. I guess it should be labeled, 'The Dirt, Do Not Try This At Home."

Summary: A good tale of Rock N Roll Decedence.
Review: I found this a very good book. I liked how the chapters were written by a different member of the band and alternated. The chapters were very articulate and well worded as were they well thought out. A great book. My only pet peeve is I felt that it was just kind of left open ended. But I guess that IS life.

Summary: Bad boys - sob stories - bimbo sex - drugs -life after death
Review: If you happened to catch their "Behind the Music" stint on VH1, the only surprise/news you'll get from this is the skinny on their childhoods. The rest of the book is well...dirt, the nitty gritty, more-than-you-probably-wanted-to-know about each of the band members and their colossal exploits...Vince and Nikki score emotional points for the loss of his daughter and his screwed up childhood, respectively...I admit I'll kinda be glad when the boys let go of their glory days and enjoy what's left of their lives...there's no need to keep resurrecting their bad-boy, rock star images, even though I..don't know how they survived themselves...

Summary: ASTOUNDING!
Review: As far back as I can rememember, there was Motley Crue. I was a mere 10 years old when they released their first album. Having always been one of my favorite bands, I felt this deep down urge to KNOW the band. And that is exactly what The Dirt gave me. A knowledge that I had never had before, one that I felt I needed. I read this book in less than 48 hours and enjoyed every word of text and and every photo the book had to offer. I reccomend this book to anyone who ever heard of Motley Crue, whether you loved them or hated them. This book has true insight into the fast and furious world of the 80's metal rock star. They should make a movie.

Summary: THEATRE OF PAIN...INDEED!
Review: I'm not a fan of Motley Crue (the people or their music) but this book came to my attention through all of the stories I have heard over the years. As far as rock biographies go, it's a fast paced read. Motley Crue epitomizes the message of "Sex, Drugs, and Rock N' Roll!" So since there are so many other reviews I think I'll just share what I have learned about the band members through their 430 page opus. Vince Neil has the most penultimate tear-jerker in the chapter that deals with the death of his daughter. In a book made to shock and astonish, this was as touching a moment as anything I have read. Beyond his love and loss, he comes off like a stand-up guy who enjoys the life style and isn't making excuses. Nikki Sixx had a rough childhood and has so many father-son issues it's not even funny. While I respect the fact that he's been through more turmoil than I'll ever know...get over it. There's nothing more pathetic than listening to rock star millionaires pining away about how sad they are. I guess money can't buy happiness. Mick Mars has the least to say in this book and this left me the most intrigued. He has battled rough times from personal illness to divorce to just plain being the victim of emotional abuse. I'm amazed he stayed with the band as long as he has. His is the true sad story in The Dirt. Tommy Lee...moron. Here is the epitome of a millionaire jerk who just never learns. How a guy like this managed to bag babes like Heather Locklear, Pamela Anderson, and Carmen Electra...is beyond me. Don't expect to learn anything from his chapters except to see a spoiled baby who is used to getting anything he wants, and if he doesn't then the tantrums start...then and now. It's a testament to this book that I enjoyed reading it. The chapters flow quickly telling each band member's story and author Neil Strauss never slows down. And unlike biographies by other rock groups, these characters actually have some bizarre stories to tell...and how they survived is beyond me. While I may not be racing out to buy any Crue music, I'm very happy that I read this biography.
