Publisher's Summary

Now a Netflix original movie starring Machine Gun Kelly, Daniel Webber, Douglas Booth, and Iwan Rheon, directed by Jeff Tremaine.

Celebrate over 30 years of the world's most notorious rock band with the audiobook edition of The Dirt - the outrageous, legendary, no-holds-barred autobiography of Mötley Crüe.

Fans have gotten glimpses into the band's crazy world of backstage scandals, celebrity love affairs, roller-coaster drug addictions, and immortal music in Mötley Crüe books like Tommyland and The Heroin Diaries, but now the full spectrum of sin and success by Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, and Mick Mars is an open book in The Dirt.

Joe Levy at Rolling Stone calls The Dirt "without a doubt...the most detailed account of the awesome pleasures and perils of rock & roll stardom I have ever read. It is completely compelling and utterly revolting."

Editorial reviews

Mötley Crüe is one of the most notorious rock bands to ever ravage the earth. Their on-stage antics and backstage scandals are among the wildest in rock folklore. In their outrageous, not-for-the-faint-hearted autobiography The Dirt, the band tells those stories from their own perspective, resulting in a saga that will stay with you like the ringing in your ears after an unforgettable gig.

Cassandra Campbell and Fred Berman have won a trove of awards for their acclaimed narration and they join Sebastian York, broadcast journalist Roger Wayne and New York Times best-selling author Erin Hunter to form an elite narrative team to take you through the highs and lows of rock stardom.

The best autobiography I've read so far

I was very sceptical at the start but wow. This is one of the best books I've read so far. It just opens the band, each and every one of them with their struggles and demons. Highly recommended!

Fits together perfectly.

Excellent insight into the dynamics and personalities of the band, the debauchery, adventures, and tragedy.
Was so well composed and performed.

Hands down the best rock autobiography

Finished this whole audiobook in just a few days. The story was amazing and every chapter leaves you itching for the next.

The narrators are so on point you sometimes forget it’s not actually the Crüe who are speaking.

This journey covers the highest of highs and lowest of lows in intricate detail.

Even if you are not a huge Motley Crüe fan, this is still a kick ass listen

I really liked this book

A truely in-depth look at the motley Crüe lads and their lives. A couple of sad moments especially with Vince’s little 4 year old daughter, that was very hard to listen too. These fellas have definitely had their fair share of ups and downs and I must say a lot of the downs were self inflicted that’s for sure, how their still alive especially Nikki is beyond me,but that’s the life of some Rockstars I guess. I’ve got nothing bad to say about this book, either you like it or you don’t and I liked it.

A wild, fun & sometimes disgusting ride

A brutally honest insight into what their lives & struggles were, not leaving out any of "the dirt". I really enjoyed that they even had chapters from ex managers and label heads giving them a chance to have a rebuttal on some of the accusations the band made against them. The narrators did a great job making you feel like you were just listening to the band talk to to you.
even if you don't know much of their music it's still a fun read.
