内容説明
The most influential, enduring, and iconic metal band of the 1980's reveals everything a tell-all of epic proportions.
This unbelievable autobiography explores the rebellious lives of four of the most influential icons in American rock history.
Motley Crue was the voice of a barely pubescent Generation X, the anointed high priests of backward-masking pentagram rock, pioneers of Hollywood glam, and the creators of MTV's first "power ballad." Their sex lives claimed celebrities from Heather Locklear to Pamela Anderson to Donna D'Errico. Their scuffles involved everyone from Axl Rose to 2LiveCrew. Their hobbies have included collecting automatic weapons, cultivating long arrest records, pushing the envelope of conceivable drug abuse, and dreaming up backstage antics that would make Ozzy Osbourne blanch with modesty.
Provocatively written and brilliantly designed, this book includes over 100 photos, many never before published, for the most exciting and insightful look ever into the Crue.
From Publishers Weekly
In the beginning there was the Motley House, crawling with cockroaches and rats, beer cans piled on the porch so high they threatened to spill into the house every time you opened the door. "That place gave birth to Motley Crue," the band recalls in The Dirt: The Autobiography of Motley Crue. After the record contract, they write, "like a pack of mad dogs we abandoned the bitch, leaving with enough reckless, aggravated testosterone to spawn a million bastard embryo metal bands." Crue members Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx also team up with New York Times music writer Neil Strauss to tell the story of their band's rise to phenomenal success: their tours, friendships, alcohol and drug problems, music, influence and, above all, girls. No heavy metal fan will want to be without this crude, honest chronicle.

モトリー･クルーはまだ、一応現役バンドだ。でもやはり彼らは80年代後半から90年代初めが旬だっただろう。私を含めてある年代の人にとってはビートルズの代わりぐらい慣れ親しんだ悪ガキバンド。彼らのこれでもか！というワイルド･ストーリーが、4人の語り口から順繰りに語られる（メンバーどうしの話の調整でライターさんがとっても苦労したのでは？と思ってしまいました。。。）読んでいる間、まさに彼らの人生を辿っているようで、すっかりその世界にはまってしまいますよ。
ニッキーの荒れぶりは予想以上にすごかった！日本でも新幹線で暴れて一般人を大怪我させたのに、東京駅で傷害罪現行犯逮捕にきた警察を、自分たちのファンが多すぎて警備員が動員されたと勘違いしたりするあたりは、まさに面目躍如ですわ。〇ドーさんは彼がODで死ぬんじゃないかと本気で心配して香港までくっついていってあげたとか、まさに地獄へ道連れ覚悟のプロモーター、偉大すぎ！しかしずいぶん前に読んで心に残ったのは、ヴィンスが娘を失うくだり。長いこと苦しんだ様子にはおもわず涙が出ましたよ。彼と当時の奥さんは相当つらかったと思う。これだけ悪行の限りを尽くしたロックスターでもやはり人の子。あと、彼は半分メキシカンだったことを知って驚いた。なんとなくぬけていて自分勝手で虚栄心が強く、いつもモテモテなのはそのせいかも？あとは、今でも仲良さそうなトミー＆パメラの出会いのくだりは面白い！すでにセレブ女優だったセクシーなパメラをトミーが相当追い掛け回したようで。ヘザーロックリアに続き、トミーはお嬢様やパワフルな美人を次々に手に入れて、幸運な男です。このあたりはパメラ側の小説、Starと比較して読むのも面白いかも。

Lewd, Crude, Rude, and -(what?)- Sensitive!
2001/8/1
形式:ハードカバー
This autobiography strongly resembles the Aerosmith book "Walk This Way" from a few years ago. You start out with the band's early days of non-stop partying, drugs, and chicks, and it's like the fun never stops. Then the story gets darker as the drugs take their toll and everyone loses their friends, money, and careers (at least temporarily). This pattern is clearly evident in the Motley Crue book, and to an even more extreme level than Aerosmith. The debauchery of the early years is truly excessive and explosive. If you love to act that way yourself, or do it vicariously by reading about the exploits of others, then you'll love those portions of this book. The only drawback is lurid descriptions of degrading things being done to women.
When the darkness sets in, I was surprised by the senstive and emotional writing of the guys in the band. Mick Mars (an extremly funny guy) discusses his painful bone disease that will probably lead to his early demise, Nikki Sixx (who's more intelligent than I imagined) talks about his traumatic childhood and family life, and Tommy Lee (a real sweetheart) includes his letters to Pamela from prison and shows a deep love for his sons. The most moving part of the book is when Vince Neil (who I don't think is a very cool person otherwise) discusses the death of his four-year old daughter from cancer, and how it changed his entire outlook on life.
This book also avoids the pitfalls of many biographies (and history books) by covering all time periods equally, instead of ignoring recent history at the expense of the glorified good old days. There's good coverage of the band's years with temporary singer John Corabi, and their recent not-so-glamorous struggles with the changing musical landscape. The only problem in this regard is the lack of dates and specific historical information, if you're the type that wants to know exactly when things happened. Otherwise, this was an extremely entertaining book, covering the expected rock star excesses with a surprising amount of realism and sensitivity. Good for both Crue fans and general rock fans alike.

THEATRE OF PAIN...INDEED!
2002/2/9
形式:ハードカバー
I'm not a fan of Motley Crue (the people or their music) but this book came to my attention through all of the stories I have heard over the years. As far as rock biographies go, it's a fast paced read. Motley Crue epitomizes the message of "Sex, Drugs, and Rock N' Roll!" So since there are so many other reviews I think I'll just share what I have learned about the band members through their 430 page opus.
Vince Neil has the most penultimate tear-jerker in the chapter that deals with the death of his daughter. In a book made to shock and astonish, this was as touching a moment as anything I have read. Beyond his love and loss, he comes off like a stand-up guy who enjoys the life style and isn't making excuses.
Nikki Sixx had a rough childhood and has so many father-son issues it's not even funny. While I respect the fact that he's been through more turmoil than I'll ever know...get over it. There's nothing more pathetic than listening to rock star millionaires pining away about how sad they are. I guess money can't buy happiness.
Mick Mars has the least to say in this book and this left me the most intrigued. He has battled rough times from personal illness to divorce to just plain being the victim of emotional abuse. I'm amazed he stayed with the band as long as he has. His is the true sad story in The Dirt.
Tommy Lee...moron. Here is the epitome of a millionaire jerk who just never learns. How a guy like this managed to bag babes like Heather Locklear, Pamela Anderson, and Carmen Electra...is beyond me. Don't expect to learn anything from his chapters except to see a spoiled baby who is used to getting anything he wants, and if he doesn't then the tantrums start...then and now.
It's a testament to this book that I enjoyed reading it. The chapters flow quickly telling each band member's story and author Neil Strauss never slows down. And unlike biographies by other rock groups, these characters actually have some bizarre stories to tell...and how they survived is beyond me. While I may not be racing out to buy any Crue music, I'm very happy that I read this biography.

Not A Crue Fan But A Great Read Nonetheless
2004/5/22
形式:ペーパーバック
I'll be honest with you, I am not a Motley Crue fan. I can't think of a single song they do that doesn't make me cringe. HOWEVER, I can understand why others might like them so I am not going to sit here and diss on them. When I saw this book I was intrigued enough to flip through it. I read a few passages and decided to start at the beginning. Every member of the Crue has the chance to speak their mind and the author does a good job of letting them do it in their own voice (though Tommy Lee's excessive use of the word "dude" has the effect of nails on a chalkboard). Everything from the band's execessive drug use to the fights and wild sexual escapades are covered in great detail. Nikki Sixx, though bitter, comes across as the most sensible. His anger and family history is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the book. Unfortunately, the tragedy of Vince Neil's daughter's death should have been emotional but he diminishes the impact by continuing to namedrop and act the braggart. As the most unlikeable character in the book, talking about his daughter's death should have gained my sympathy but it didn't. Maybe he really did throw up on Kelsey Grammar but the way he talks it's like he has this air of superiority and arrogance ("I know Kelsey Grammar and Shannon Doherty and you don't"), when in fact he is really nothing more than a second rate David Lee Roth. Also, Tommy Lee's assertion that the Crue should have played with real bands like Iggy Pop and Husker Du instead of pop-metal fluff like Warrant and Poison really bugged me. It's as if he and Nikki mistakenly thought they were in a band of the same calibre of the Stooges or Pistols and were oblivious to the fact that they were a fluffy pop metal band. All the band members diss on their contemporaries (Guns N Roses, etc) as if they were somehow better than them. Motley Crue started the whole pop metal genre and imitation is the most sincere form of flattery so it's kind of sad when they call Poison and Whitesnake lame. Still, if you want to read about weird sex orgies, mass drug use, big brawls, wasted money and celebrity dirt then you will enjoy this book. I even enjoyed it. I still don't like Motley Crue though.
