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

    Haven't seen it either, but maybe its a reference to when Vince left and Nikki mentioned wanting Eddie to replace him.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Didn't read the book, but found the movie entertaining. Found the costumes a little goofy lol, but very well done for a Netflix production. Jumped out of my chair when I saw the Pearl Jam poster. Best part of the film lol.

    Yes.  TEN is seen on the side of a building signaling the end of hair metal.

    Watched it last night.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.

    It was tame though to how they actually were, lol.

    I was hoping to see more of the other bands that they hung out with as Blackie Lawless showed Nikki how to set him self on fire.

    I also completely forgot that Vince lost his daughter to cancer.

    Watched the movie last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, but there’s just no way it could really contain all the craziness that was in the book, unless it was 4 hours long. I found they touched on some crazy highlights (Bullwinkle, Ozzy, Day in the life of Tommy) but left tons of crazy stories out. In fairness they kinda had to in order to give proper attention to some of the things that impacted Crue’s coming together and then their career (Nikki’s upbringing, Vince’s car accident, Vince’s daughter) The book is a must read for any Crüe fan and a good read for anyone that enjoys craziness and debachory.

    I loved the shit out of it 
    Was it faithful to the book?  Hell, no.

    I also watched last night. Enjoyed it, but I don’t think I’d watch it a second time. Whereas I have read the book twice.

    Anybody notice that Ramsay Bolton played a dead on Mick Mars?

    Machine Gun Kelly also played a perfect Tommy Lee
  • Ottawa, Canada Posts: 3,298
    He did play a good “goofy” tommy lee for sure.

    It was ok.  I cant stand movies where the actors talk to the audience (exception being the end of good fellas).  I could not stop thinking that the actor who played Vince looked like Dana Carvey. I really wish Pamela Anderson's boobs made it into the film :) Never really a fan of the band but read the book and Nikki's book as well.

    Just finished watching it, overall it was ok I thought. MGK played a decent Tommy Lee. The dude who played Nikki Sixx I thought was real good. Didn't care for the guy who played Vince.k. Storyline was ok. Forgot about Vince's daughter dying, that was kinda emotional.

    I watched last night and enjoyed it. It wasn't really good at all, but it entertained me thoroughly. I had no idea Vince Neil killed someone, badly hurt 2 others, and lost a young daughter. What a shitty life he's had, really.
    At first the narrative voiceover felt really dumb, but I got used to it quickly, and then it worked.
    I agree MGK did Tommy Lee well, in the context of being entertaining and likeable. I have no clue if any of those roles were played accurately or anything... Besides Ozzy Osbourne, lol. That was 100% believable.

    Only reason I knew about Vince killing someone was from the movie "Airheads". 

    Rock stars don't go to jail.  Vince Neil only did 30 days and he killed someone.

    Don't forget your Mötley Crüe T-shirt.
    You know, all proceeds go to get their lead singer outta jail.

    I SAW PEARL JAM

    I remember reading Circus magazine about this when it happened.  I also remember he paid a very large (at the time) sum of money out to the victims families.

    I like The Crüe (was a big fan in 1980s/early-1990s) but that movie was pretty bad.

    Also, I was waiting for Mick Mars to sick his dogs on the rest of the band members.
