Best Rock Bio I've Ever Read
|
|
Before I read this book I wasn't really a fan of Motley Crue. This book changed the way I think about this band. I am now a huge fan of Motley Crue! This book is full of amazing stories from a band that ruled the world during the 80's.

This is one of my favorite Rockumentaries of all time. You simply can't put the damn thing down, and it's over 400 pages long. His writing style is perfect for the content, and since he's a Rolling Stone writer he is all too familiar with the way the text should flow. As you read it, it's almost like your sharing a bar conversation with him while on tour with the band. The Ozzy challenge bits with Nikki were some of the funniest and most unbelievable things I've ever heard of. Great stuff, buy this and set aside a full day.

This is the best book I have EVER read

I bought this book of a little old, probably Mid-60's lady working at Chapters, as I set in on the till she says to me "Oh my god I love that book. I'm not sure who Motley Crue is but that is one of the best books I've read" I read the entire book that night. From the first sentence I could not put it down. Their twisted insane world just drags you in with the frequent "HOLY SHIT" break. It's UNBELIEVABLE. I've read A LOT of book but this one was the only one I read all night and finished on the way to work the next morning. I recommend it to everyone and even made my dad read it. It's just insane. Totally worth owning, because I've now read it atleast 10 times. I just started reading it again last night actually... Although I still have half left to finish tonight :) BUY IT it'll be the best decision you make.

Took me back to high school

Back when I was in high school, Motley Crue was one of the biggest bands around. Stories would always surface about how they were wild party animals, how there would be women all over them, and how there would be drugs and booze a-plenty. Of course I always figured this just to be rumours, told by mothers to scare their children into being straight A students, and wishful thinking on the part of me and my friends. But after reading this book, which is written in a very unique style by having a member from the band each write a chapter, I can tell you that everything you heard, or everything you thought you heard about the band, is true. This book does a nice job of letting the reader into the 'inner sanctum' of the band. Through reading what the band members have to say, it's easy to see why they ended up breaking up like they did. Yet at the same time it was one hell of a ride. Definitely pick this book up if you're a) interested in Motley Crue, b) interested in what it's like to be in a world famous rock band or c) interested in finding out how too much alcohol and too many drugs can ruin a good thing.
