You’ll lose everything, pretty much, including most of your friends (except the real ones).

Whether they took it seriously or not, the Crue actively worshiped satan through their lifestyles. They’re whoremongers, drug users (sorcerers), adulterers...and actively promoted this lifestyle through their fame. They did the devil’s work and he rewarded them. Then, just after dinner, Doug called. Nikki had overdosed in some hotel room and they thought he was dead.Fear, David (March 24, 2019). " The Dirt Review: Too Fast for Love — and Facts, Fans, Fun".

Groan when he says: "Forty-five minutes." Ask if record company planned it that way. Threaten violence when he confirms accusation. Tell limo driver to take band there anyway. Possibly the most entertaining book I've read in my research for a current project, The Dirt follows the most infamous example of '80s hair-metal excess on their long journey through Hell's Hall of Fame.

The Bible gives away the ending of this battle between Good and evil. God wins. The battle is reaching the final stages, we’re living in the end times, no doubt. a) i don't know motley crue at all - and had a hard time figuring out who was who since each chapter was told from a different person's perspective and voice. the only knowledge of motley crue i have comes from watching people sing their songs in karaoke. seriously. that's it.

[19] [20] Critical reception [ edit ]From the opening sentence, this book is a tsunami of obscenity. It is outrageous. It appeals to purient interests. But if the book has any redeeming quality it is this: humor. Tallerico, Brian (March 22, 2019). " The Dirt". RogerEbert.com. Archived from the original on March 22, 2019 . Retrieved March 23, 2019.

While we can fantasize about what a visionary like Fincher would have done with the material, the actual film is probably the most apropos of the band’s stature. Mötley Crüe’s music was never destined to win Grammys, nor was their book bound for the Man Booker prize, and this film will not be positioned for Oscars. So, as it turns out, things ended up as they should and the film works pretty well. It’s unlikely to convert skeptics or reveal hidden depths to diehard fans but it moves at a clip and offers enough novelty to overpower the cliches as it chronicles both the punch-drunk nights and the sobering mornings after of this hard-living band. c) i really hated everyone in this book. i kind of reached a breaking point when nikki and tommy rape a girl in a closet. i had a hard time understanding why people like this are admired, have fans, reach fame/success/etc. when they are so openly despicable.The band's Sunset Strip apartment had a major roach problem. They couldn't afford pesticide, so they'd use lighters and hair spray to exterminate the bugs — or, if they were using the oven, they'd leave it on high for 10 minutes to kill any roaches inside first. The next thing I remember, I was standing shirtless in the hospital parking lot. There were two girls sitting on the kerb, crying. I walked to them and asked: "What's up?" Their faces went white. "You're alive!""What are you talking about? Of course I'm alive." They wiped their eyes and stared at me. They were real fans. "Say, can you guys give me a ride home?"

Nikki Sixx was definitely my favourite in the book. His writing style was definitely the best throughout The Dirt which can most likely be attributed to the fact that he was the main songwriter in Motley Crue. Having read the Heroin Diaries after this book, it is clear that he has a strong ability to write. So I was quite surprised to learn (in 2000) they were writing a book with New York Times music critic Neil Strauss. I was a big fan of Strauss and his writing. And the unlikely venture piqued my interest. The greatest battle of all time is between God and Satan and they’re battling for the souls of men. Everything we can perceive with our senses is temporary, the Bible tells us. Everything we DON’T see is what’s eternal and REALITY. And there is a war in the spirit world constantly happening around us. What we do — whether it’s praising and praying to God or committing sin and therefore worshiping satan — gives power to either side. The part that surprised me the most was there is actually a few chapters from John Corabi. I am not big on giving spoilers unless to point out issues. So I won't say anything about those chapters. Other than I entered those chapters with a bad impression of John Corabi from the 1994 show I attended where he interrupted every Motley Crue song from Vince years with ranting babble with the same profanity said excessively that radio stations made it The butt of jokes because he was arrested after the show. The only songs he sang completely was Scream stuff and the new stuff. I saw it as disrespectful to the three founding members that brought him in and to the fans. His chapters did nothing to improve my opinion.The book and the movie tellthe often seedy tale of the band's scrappy origins in L.A. in the early '80s to their superstar status near the end of the decade. Of course, a deal with the devil is never a good one. Despite all their dreams coming true, they all had to pay horrible prices for what they got. Once again, the Bible says sin is pleasurable for a season. And the wages of sin is death. Lee admits that during phone interviews while on the "Girls, Girls, Girls" tour, he'd sometimes urinate in the bedroom or vomit on the floor.
