The Dirt - Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Motley Crue, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx, Neil Strauss

Before reading this book I read Nikki Sixx - Heroin Diaries (got it cheap and thought I'd give it a go).

From their childhood to teenage years the book goes on to explain how each member joined the band and their life on Sunset strip, fighting, drinking and snorting anything in their way. From their new york dolls style start to their rise to fame the ...  Read the complete review
