A wild look at this band that just keeps surviving. As a Crue fan i couldn't wait to get this book and it didnt disappoint. It was great to hear the stories interpreted from all four members, at times viewing the same incidents from completely different angles. All the hijinx of a decadent rock band are in here, along with emotional moments such as Vince dealing with the death of his little daughter. I recommend this to anyone who wants an insight into the world of rock.

Blew me away in the first paragraph.
These guys have stuffed up all avenues of actually working in any profession other than a rude, lewd and addicted rock stars and this book takes you through it from all perspectives, in detail.
From an early age its clear they weren't cut from the 9-5 ordinary cloth and had amazing highs, but were not without crippling lows proving you can drink, snort and inject but pain will catch up on you.
It's no wonder they made such great music.

As another reviewer has said, if you only ever read one rock 'n' roll book, make it this one. A really good look at the infamous legend that is Motley Crue.
Is it all true? Well... who'd know. But even if it isn't all kosher, it's all good reading.
What I really like is that each chapter is from a different member of the band, so you see all 4 points of view to disputed events. (like the was-Vince-kicked-out-or-quit schemozzle)
It's amazing that these guys are still standing.

This book was hilarious! So interesting! Some of the stuff they got up to! Talk about living it up. Although there are some sad moments in the book. I had to laugh out loud when the band goes to Japan and the poor man looking after the band definitley must of been happy when they left Japan - that is all I'll say! I quite liked how they laid out this book aswell - each chapter is on 1 particular band member and their thoughts etc. There is also a lot of great photos in this book aswell.

This book is a real insight in the mysterious world of rock and roll and all its demons. The band members are very frank and open in their recollection of events. I found that each member having their own spin on events opens you up to the whole event. It gives you an inside to how the band started and how they evolved and how they interacted with each other. In parts this book was hilarious and in others, it was just heart-breaking. If you a fan of Motley Crue then you will enjoy this read.

This book is a hugely vivid history of Motley Crue from the band members childhoods through to the present, recounted by all four members. What I loved most about this book is that we as the reader get the view point of all of the band members on different incidents and other happenings and at times it is interesting to see how their memories match in being able to recall the details. This book touches on everything that has happened in their time as a band. From Vince Neil being imprisoned after a drink driving accident causes the death of Razzle from Hanoi Rocks through to the death of his little girl. Tommy Lees marriage to Pam Anderson and Heather Locklear and his subsequent jail stint. Mick Mars crippling bone disease and Nicki Sixxs Heroin addiction. Not to mention the dozens of sexually explicit moments in the book.
This book was awesome!!

Motley Crue reached notoriety in their early years of fame and still remain today as the badboys of metal. This book takes the reader underground, backstage and into the lives of the band. Although gruesome the book is a real eye opener and a very interesting read!
