Whiskey and porn stars, hot reds and car crashes, black leather and high
heels, overdoses and death. This is the life of Mötley Crüe, the heaviest
drinking, hardest fighting, most oversexed and arrogant band in the world. Their
unbelievable exploits are the stuff of rock 'n' roll legend. They nailed the
hottest chicks, started the bloodiest fights, partied with the biggest drug
dealers, and got to know the inside of every jail cell from California to Japan.
They have dedicated an entire career to living life to its extreme, from the
greatest fantasies to the darkest tragedies. Tommy married two international sex
symbols; Vince killed a man and lost a daughter to cancer; Nikki overdosed, rose
from the dead, and then OD'd again the next day; and Mick shot a woman and tried
to hang his own brother. But that's just the beginning. Fueled by every drug
they could get their hands on and obscene amounts of alcohol, driven by fury and
headed straight for hell, Mötley Crüe raged through two decades, leaving behind
a trail of debauched women, trashed hotel rooms, crashed cars, psychotic
managers, and broken bones that has left the music industry cringing to this
day. All these unspeakable acts, not to mention their dire consequences, are
laid bare in The Dirt.
Here -- directly from Nikki, Vince, Tommy, and Mick -- is the unexpurgated
version of the whole glorious, gut-wrenching story. In these pages, published
for the first time anywhere, are Tommy Lee's letters to Pamela Anderson from
prison: Mick's confession to having an incurable disease that is slowly killing
him; Vince's experience burying his own daughter -- and the train wreck that his
life became afterward; and Nikki's anguished struggle to deal with an entire
life fueled by anger over his childhood abandonment, his discovery of the family
he never knew he had -- and his subsequent loss of them. And all of it
accompanied by scores of rare, never-before-published photographs, mug shots,
and handwritten lyrics. No one is spared. Not David Lee Roth, Ozzy Osbourne,
Vanity, Aerosmith, Heather Locklear, AC/DC, Lita Ford, Iron Maiden, Pamela
Anderson, Guns N' Roses, RATT, or those two girls from Dallas, Texas.
Make no mistake about it: these guys are geniuses. They invented glam metal and
then left it in the dust; sold more than forty million albums from Shout at the
Devil to Dr. Feelgood; toured the world dozen times and have the scars to prove
it it; and maintained a rabid following in an era of throwaway pop stars. Mötley
Crüe has done nothing less than tattoo the psyche of the entire MTV generation.
They are the ultimate rock 'n' roll band. And if you don't believe it, read The
Dirt.
