Neil Strauss - Motley Crue: The Dirt - (Trad FR: 2007)
Imagine,,,, imagine a pool, a pool of semen, alcohol, shit and spit on the surface which float pell-mell syringes, spoons, panties ageless and various flow rates of all kinds. Now take the book before us today, rather the pavement, and throw in, throw it ouioui stir and delight you splash that will not fail you cover this n is a foretaste of what waiting for you on reading The Dirt, translated as "filth" in the preface, but eventually the original title remained in the French edition. "Dirt" So is the newspaper of Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Vince Neil and Mick Mars, in a word, the newspaper from his Motley Crue beginnings ...
This book is therefore a bio written by Motley Crue 4 hands and chronologically by key stakeholders you say you? Yeah, retail near some members of the entourage of the group there are also some memories of their young, just to really bind the facts together and, perhaps, to overcome some holes in our collective memory of the 4 rock stars. So a bio? still a bit short and to summarize the book, yes it is a bio if you really have to find a class, but Dirt is much more than that, it's an experience hallucinations experienced at the speed of sound and light, a catalog of all the cliches of rock, sex and, of course, drugs. Death lurks on almost every page, always prematurely, you quickly said, everything happens fast and without looking in the mirror, between the tragedies experienced by the playboy Vince Neil (her daughter died 4 years, responsible for a traffic accident in which one of his closest friend died), overdoses with repetitions of Nikki Sixx and many other ghosts yet. The Hollywood dream rock of our four friends (not necessarily always very happy to be reunited) turns gradually into a nightmare as sordid and Villas Hollywood, comic girls easy to shovel, the dreams of cars and mountains of coke have more and more difficult to conceal the morbid malaise in which plunged all the protagonists of this story.
What makes this even more poignant testimony that debunks many still fallout of fame is that after years of rushing headlong into all the spirals most infernal imaginable (drugs , alcohols, and many others), given time, over time, and maturity inevitably win, each member engages in open heart, gradually revealing his injuries and his intimate most personal feelings. Approaching forty, then towards the end of the book, one feels a general need for normalcy, slow down, stability and life ... finally.
By closing the book, some will remember above all the horrors and scandals that permeate every page. Other tragedies and how they were overcome by one or the other members of the Crue, and others will enjoy the stories (which we have no reason not to believe everything is as extraordinary in the history of the group) not always very bright, about Ozzy Osbourne, Axl Rose, or funnier still, Bruce Dickinson, the voice of the iron maiden. Finally, some will see mostly the story of four men who, while income and having seen it all, finally facing a moment to look back and taste the simple pleasure of being still alive ...
and just for fun:
