I was really suprised when I read this book.
Before reading it, I knew of Motley Crue as a band, that had been around for a while and had lots of groupies and did drugs. That was pretty much my perception of them.
I hadn't really heard there music, and I wasn't really interested.
But I bought this book, and honest to god, they are now my favourite band.
After I finished this book i went and downloaded all the albums, and it was great because as i listened to the albums, i could put each album to a certain part in their careers and match it up to events in the book.
When I listen to 'too fast for love' i remember all the things I read about them starting out and when I listen to Girls, Girls, Girls, I remember the experiences the band was going through at the time, with Nikki's indulgent addiction, etc.
I think motley crue are an inspiring band and each member is nothing without the other 3.
This book is the greatest book i have ever read and i doubt that will change any time soon.
Whether your a fan of rock, punk, jazz, or african tribal music...this book is for you!
This book exceeded my expectations. I had just finished 'Slash' and thought that this book could not come close to it. I was wrong! It's amazing the lifestyle these guys had. Not only do you get an inside look at all the craziness, but you also feel like you get to know them personally. Awesome book!
