    The first 2 albums are fantastic. After that there's some good stuff on each one. But also lots of filler. 

    Looking forward to the movie. Loved the book.

    Read the book I posted above, MS, you will shed any hesitation you have about proudly proclaiming your love for the music of that time.
    It is pretty funny and after reading I went and picked up a slew of records from the time that I had not listened to in years.  I still love it, still know more lyrics than I do for any other genre/time period, and I embrace the obvious things about 80s Hair Metal that others dump on.
    Great fun rocking out to that music, and Crue is a big part of it.  For sure my favorites from about 84-89-ish. 
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Cool. I'll have to check it out. I've read some 'Killing yourself to Live' by Klosterman and enjoyed it and of course read 'The Dirt'. I don't have the highest hopes for the film adaptation but still can't wait to see it.

    I haven't read a decent review yet. I think I'll just stick with having read the book.

    Are they Crue fans or just reviewers?

    One of the pans I read was written by a fan.

    "Just reviewers," though? It's a film. A film reviewer is going to know more about the language of cinema and what makes a good film than a Mötley Crüe fan.

    Reason I ask is the reviews I read everyone has read the book and didn't like the movie so I take them to be Crue fans.  Someone not knowing about the band may like it though I haven't found anyone who didn't know about the band that reviewed the movie.

    You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't know about the band. Maybe @brianlux ...?

    I have no expectations and am not a fan of the band and know nothing about them except I know some of their stuff from the radio, and I once ended up at a Vince Neil show at a casino nearby and he was totally wasted, got mad at the crowd, threw beer bottles at us and the crowd threw beer bottles at him, and then he told use to fuck ourselves and stormed off stage. :lol: I expect that I'll find this movie really entertaining. I'm not expecting any Oscars to come out of it, lol. I'll watch it this weekend.

    LOL x 2   Funny, guys!

    First of all, 40 was going on 3 decades.   And of course I've heard of Motely Crue, but I'm not a fan.  I'm not impressed by bands that trash hotels, do crazy things like dropping stuff out of hotel rooms and ruin their minds and bodies with to many drugs as part of their shtick.   It's sad that people like Keith Moon or Bob Stinson did the same thing and paid the ultimate price, but Keith and Bob were naturally crazy- basically just that way.  For guys like them it wasn't about trying to be that way or creating an image.

    But as always, this is just personal preference I'm talking about.  I have nothing personal against Motley Crue and I don't hate their music or think it's bad- it's just not my thing.

    ^reminds me of the Denis Leary bit about how only the talented rock stars od paraphrasing....
    You could put Motley Crue in a whole room full of crack and they'd come out half an hour later yeah let's record a double live album.
    Or... SRV dies and we can't get Bon Jovi on a helicopter, come on Jon there's a hairdresser in there.

    We watched it tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it.   I'm not sure where I fit in Motley Crue fandom.  Seen them twice (once opening / co-headlining with Aerosmith).   They were pretty good live.  Especially the opening/co-headling set with Aerosmith as it was shorter and cut out lots of filler.   As they have some amazing songs, but only some :)

    I don't really know much about the history of the band.  Knew that Vince Neil accidentally got someone killed in a DUI.  That he left the band for a while.  That he came back.  It was entertaining seeing just how crazy it was in their hey dey.   Which I suppose was also around the time of GNR's hey dey (just a bit earlier).

    Apparently there's a Pearl Jam reference in the movie. I haven't seen it yet though.
