Sinossi
Da questo libro è tratto l'omonimo film disponibile su Netflix. Sesso, droga e rock'n'roll. Forse i Mötley Crüe non hanno fatto tutte e tre le cose meglio di altri, ma di sicuro le hanno fatte più di tutti gli altri. Nella Los Angeles degli anni '80 il rock non aveva regole, e questi quattro americani ne incarnavano lo spirito alla perfezione. Nessuna morale, nessun limite, nessuna inibizione, una trinità di perversione e dissolutezza che per poco non li ha lasciati senza vita sull'asfalto. O quasi, visto che uno di loro è effettivamente morto ed è pure tornato per raccontarlo, novello messia della sregolatezza più sfrenata. The Dirt non racconta solamente la storia di una delle band rock più leggendarie di sempre, che ha sbancato le classifiche di tutto il mondo e incassato dischi di platino e premi di ogni tipo, ma è uno spaccato della vita di quattro personaggi che con le loro imprese hanno incarnato un'epoca, quella della Babilonia del Rock. Queste pagine trasudano alcool e decadenza. Leggete a vostro rischio e pericolo.

Disgusting. Tacky. Immoral. This book is an insult to all intelligent life forms on earth. And I loved every moment of it. Hey, it's Nikki. I'm not home because I'm dead. My goal for this year was to read more classics. But why devote my time to good literature when I can read about Motley Cr
11am. Woke up. Vomited. Started reading this book. 4pm. Neck started hurting. Took huge amounts of cocaine, bottle of Alleve, 5th of Jack, decided reading in bed wasn't the best thing for my posture. 4:15pm. Went crazy, destroyed hotel room, terrified groupies in varying stages of dress, played rock s Leggi tutto
i remember when i was 13 or so and i finally realized that all of the r.l. stine books i'd been reading were pretty trashy and devoid of any literary merit. i felt a little silly for devouring something like 100 fear street books. i didn't feel too bad about it, though. i mean, i was reading, and it Leggi tutto
There's a scene in Gilmore Girls where Lorelei stays home one night because she can't put this book down. I can fully understand why now. I loved this book. We read books to escape, and this book had me leave my world and be a cliche rock star in the hair metal 80s. It's not about liking hair metal, Leggi tutto
A train wreck happening right in front your eyes, both horrid and spectacular. I am not a fan of Motley Crue but The Dirt is one of the best books on the rock memoirs genre, so i had to read it. Indeed, it's brilliant and no matter how you feel about the group, their antics or their music, you will e Leggi tutto
Holy crap! Were the stories of rock and roll decadence entertaining? Absolutely! All the insider reports were delightful even. But I still came away feeling sad. Sad that music and nonstop consumption of drugs, alcohol, women, and stuff seemed to be the only way these men could fill the gaping holes Leggi tutto
Let’s be clear. I have zero authority when it comes to reviewing music. Especially heavy metal. The extent of my music knowledge begins and ends with absentmindedly humming along to a 90′s pop radio station while I’m out running errands. About as far away from Mötley Crüe as one can get. And I REALL Leggi tutto
I used to think that I could not be shocked by tales of celebrity shenanigans. Well, I was wrong. After a few recommendations I read The Dirt, the story of Motley Crue. For most of their career, the behavior of these people (Mick Mars excepted) is flat out appalling. As Nikki Sixx notes, if they wer Leggi tutto
