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.

 Rock n Roll Raunch
Very detailed accounts of sex drugs and Rock N Roll. Appaulling! These are some nasty guys! Defanitely a page turner though. I will always remember this vivid book.

 What an amazing book!
This book exceeded my expectations. I had just finished 'Slash' and thought that this book could not come close to it. I was wrong! It's amazing the lifestyle these guys had. Not only do you get an inside look at all the craziness, but you also feel like you get to know them personally. Awesome book!

GREAT READ!!!! ( joviacdan )
Certainly, will be more enjoyable for Crue fans. However, I can't imagine anyone reading this book and not being entertained.

Crazy stuff
I didn't know much about the crue before i read this book. But it's a riviting book with entertaining tales of crazy far-out rock n' roll lifestyles. A good read.

Amazing
I just finished reading the The Dirt and it was, honest to God, one of the most compelling books I have ever read. I am a huge Motley Crue fan but the great thing about this book is that you don't have to be a fan, heck you don't even have to like music to enjoy this book. This book is about music, but just barely. There is a little bit about Nikki Sixx and how he came up with lyrics and such but other than that there's not much about the music itself. This book is very different from Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and Slash's autobiography. Those books have a good deal of information on the actual music. "The Dirt" stays away from it. Instead, it tells the amusing, shocking, and sometimes utterly revolting stories of the band members while they were in their teen years, when they were just a young upstart band in West Hollywood, and when they became international stars and went on tour. A worthwhile read.
