Ten years ago, Mötley Crües bestselling The Dirt - penned with collaborator extraordinaire Neil Strauss - set a new bar for rock'n'roll memoirs. A runaway bestseller and genuine cultural phenomenon, this turbocharged blockbuster is still flying off shelves a decade after its initial publication. The book takes readers along for the whole wild ride of Mötley Crüe - 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 MTVs 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 include 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. Now, in time for Mötleys 30th anniversary and a new tour! comes a deluxe collectors hardcover edition of the book, complete with a dazzling new effects-laden cover and all-new extra material from the band inside.
