The Dirt

Confessions of the worlds most notorious rock band

What a fantastic read this book was. It is basically the biography of Motley Crue. From the beginning to the end.. mostly. Written like a first person tell all journal from the main players of the band. As well as some of their managers and associates.

It has to be read to be believed, or then again maybe not if you grew in the 80s like I did and had some vague familiarity with the Crue (We didn't really pick on them until Dr. Feelgood. And by then they had already been around awhile) I managed to read the book in about a week. Very much like some of the biographical tell all books about their wrestling careers and respective industries (Chris Jericho, Mick Foley and Bret Hart mainly) If you ever wanted to know first hand what it was like to be one of the most decadent and successful Rock Stars of all time. And what it was like on the inside. That this is your window.

The chapters alternate between people, and sometimes overlapping so you get more than one perspective on some situations. And there doesn't seem to be much if anything held back. With a free, open, casual speaking type of writing style I just breezed through the chapters.

Highly Recommended
