Summary

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL MOVIE STARRING MACHINE GUN KELLY, DANIEL WEBBER, DOUGLAS BOOTH, AND IWAN RHEON, DIRECTED BY JEFF TREMAINE.

Celebrate over thirty years of the world's most notorious rock band with the audiobook edition of The Dirt—the outrageous, legendary, no-holds-barred autobiography of Mötley Crüe. Fans have gotten glimpses into the band's crazy world of backstage scandals, celebrity love affairs, rollercoaster drug addictions, and immortal music in Mötley Crüe books like Tommyland and The Heroin Diaries, but now the full spectrum of sin and success by Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, and Mick Mars is an open book in The Dirt. Joe Levy at Rolling Stone calls The Dirt "without a doubt . . . the most detailed account of the awesome pleasures and perils of rock & roll stardom I have ever read. It is completely compelling and utterly revolting."

Not even sure why I bought this book. I've never listened to any of their music, but had heard of the band and Tommy Lee, so thought it might be an interesting listen.

The story from start to finish was absolutely compelling and an incredible insight into the background of the band members and their rock and roll lifestyle. The decadence and drug taking along with other outrageous behaviour makes this such an incredible listen.

I'm pretty open minded about life and I was often shocked by how crazy these guys were.

Hope you enjoy the listen and buckle up for the ride!

Narration is awesome. It's good that they telling you at the beginning of each chapter who is narrating (e.g. Neil, Nikki, Tommy or Mick) but given narrators do sounds a lot different, you just know who is narrating based on the voice of each narrator.

What can be said about the story. Just incredible. By listening to it, you just understand why these guys are legends of rock and metal.

Although 80's metal was always my favourite genre, I was never a massive fan of Motley Crew. After listening to this book I learned to like them and it also gave me the opportunity to re-discover their songs. I now headbang over Too Young to Fall in Love, Looks that Kill, Mr. Feelgood, Shout at the Devil and so on.

It definitely worth reading/listening especially if you're into Heavy Metal. This book is part of the history of the music we love and I believe it is a book that each metalhead needs to read/listen to at least once.

My only criticism is that we got just too much of Tommy's "drama" with Pamela Anderson, whereas the part where Neil loses his daughter is much shorter and kind of quickly skimmed through. Maybe after all it shows us that people are more interested about some gossip fake drama that actual human pain; or that Tommy is simply a cry baby and Neil is in fact a much stronger guy than we all thought.

Fantastic book!
