Here is what people are saying about the The Dirt : Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band
5 Star Rating  "Snatching Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory..."2009-09-17
- Reviewed By darklordzden
First off, let me lay my cards on the table - I'm not a Motley Crue fan and although I've heard a smattering of their songs and what I have heard I don't remember much of apart from the chorus of "Girls, Girls, Girls". This is no reflection on the band, you understand - its just that they apparently didn't get as much media exposure in the country of my birth as they did in the US.

What I am, however, is as much of a fan as anyone else of that scaborous 'warts and all' genre of 'faction' known as the rock biography and in that regard, "The Dirt" delivers in spades.

Chronicling the rise to fame and spectacular implosion of the original line-up of Motley Crue through interviews conducted by Neil Strauss with the various members of the band (Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee), we are treated to alternating viewpoints on different (and sometimes the same) events and in some instances its almost impossible to discern which version of events is the closest to the truth or, indeed, whether any of them are remotely related to anything like reality given the bad blood, wounded egos and voluminous substance abuse involved.

The dysfunctional rock band has become something of a cliché in the last forty years and in MC's case, it has almost been elevated to an art-form; the group is so full of contradictory personalities, barely suppressed anger and festering animosity that one wonders how they ever managed to spend ten minutes in the same room together, let alone persevere long enough to forge a career and release albums. If two words sum the band up, they would be "conflict" and "addiction". Conflict with each other, with themselves, and with everyone and everything else and addiction to their very own personal hells: For Sixx, it's nihilism and Heroin; Mars' drugs of choice are despair and alcohol; Neil's personal poisons are women and fast cars, and Lee's seems to be a schmorgasboard of all of the above. Suffice it to say, if the copious amounts of drug abuse related here are not attempts at self-mythologising then it's a miracle that any of the band are still alive today. I don't think I've read a book that features as many drug overdoses, encounters with unwashed groupies, car crashes or spousal abuse as this one. People expecting a laugh-a-minute tale of John-Belushi-in-"Animal House" style high-jinks will no doubt be shocked by the depths to which Nikki Sixx sank during his love affair with the needle. Even without their sundry addictions it seems that, with the exception of Mick Mars, who I developed a sympathy and grudging respect for, the majority of the band are not really very nice people. I enjoy a tale of debauchery as much as the next man, but the passage in which they describe picking up a homeless, mentally disturbed girl from the streets of LA, having sex with her, and then sending her back out onto the streets with her clothes in tatters and tears streaming down her cheeks was nothing less than repugnant.

A shocking, compelling insight into minds deluded by their own talent and the accolades of others, "The Dirt" may well be one of the greatest rock biographies ever written and is highly recommended as a cautionary tale of how not to go about enjoying success.

4 Star Rating  "As dirty, leud, and rude as you'd expect, hence 4 stars!"2009-09-09
- Reviewed By maylinglai2
I thought it was an interesting enough read. There are parts of it where I was completely disgusted by the womanizing. Other parts, I was inspired. Still other parts, I was filled with envy at how easily things came for the group and how easily they would throw it all away. It is a good story and I would recommend it to be people that are interesting in understanding the weird world of that period. I don't know that it was the most exciting though.
 
5 Star Rating  "Getting to Know Motley Crue"2009-09-07
- Reviewed By User: AJUSJQJQWPR4S
I have always been interested in the lifestyle of rock bands. I had heard many unbelieveable stories but after reading this book I gained an understanding of how ordinary people, but talented, can so easily get caught up in the fad of the times, whether it
s drugs, alcohol, or sexual practices. I could not put the book down. I never use the F word myself, and I am not a prude, but it seems like a natural way of espression to the band members. Reading it did not offend me but rather helped to understand the lifestyle. I wish the best for Nikki, Tommy, Mick, and Vince, and I sencerely hope they find the peace and happiness they seek. By the way, I am 66 years old and have never been a fan of Motley Crue, but I have created an interest in the Crue's personal and professional lives.
 
5 Star Rating  "A great rock read!"2009-08-30
- Reviewed By User: A1AHYCO2YWXXG5
Regardless of what you think of The Crue's music, or even the band members as people, this is one of the better-written rock n' roll autobiographies out there. Good storytelling at its finest, bolstered by the fact that (as others have noted) all time periods are covered more or less equally, and all the members of the group get to chime in. You don't get the impression that the author is foisting some view of the band off on you because so much of it is in the members' own words, and they are interesting, articulate fellows, though obviously very different in their focuses. I've read a couple hundred rock books at least, and this one is definitely a five-star enjoyable, fairly light read.

I couldn't put this book down! Even if half of what they say is true, it's still pretty friggin' great! I am amazed that any of them are alive!
