But years ago I read The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band and loved every page of it. It's a definite NSFW book, but it does a great job of showing you the Debauchery and then at the same time pulls at your heart strings (all 6 of them, tuned down a step ) I recommend it for anyone who's a fan of rock and roll. I was wondering if they would update it now that The Crue is coming to an end when I came across this. Looks like there's movie talks. Motley Crue Movie?!?! Based on the format of the book, I am not sure how they will go about making a movie. Like I said, I think the charm of the book is how well balanced it is. What are we thinking on this on?

Kinda shocking considering how messed up he was but an engrossing read none the less. I was a bit of a crue fan back in the theatre of pain era, in fact that tour was the very first gig I ever went to. I dont know if I could be bothered sitting through a movie about them now tbh. besides, it would just remind me that I never fulfilled my dream of being a drug fuelled sex crazed rock star You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

They've been talking abouit doing it ever since the book came out - not sure if it will ever see the light of day ?? Maybe not quite as rude or graphic but even more funny was the book 'I Am Ozzy.'

It's a good read, but there's been some scrutiny over the legitimacy of some of it. But I think it's probably pretty close. There's a book called Shadows Taller Than Our Souls, which is a rad interactive book. More of a retrospective. It's got recreation of ticket stubs and posters. Really just gets you in the headspace of what it was like in the 70s.

Ironman is definitely one of may favourite books. Some people didnt like the writing style but I thought it was great. you really get the impression that Tony is just sat at a table talking about his life, he occasionally goes off on a tangent and them comes back to the original subject, its quite a natural flow to the book. I liked that. The Ozzy one Ben mentioned is really good as well, I read both straight after each other.......

"The dirt" and "the heroin diaries" are a good read,too however I am not sure what the movie would be like.... would have to be xxx-rated I guess....

I haven't read "The Dirt" but I heard really cool things about it. I heard some of the anecdotes related there. I'm really curious to know how this movie will turn, it can be something epic if they do it well. PS: I'll add "I'm Ozzy" to my list of next books to read.

I also found out Black Sabbath released an album in 2013, 13, which they are world touring right know... I didnt know!!

I'd love to listen to Toni Iommi play live once in my life... I listened to the album and I like it, it's impactful, it sounds raw, I like the accelerations, it makes me want to eat meat and have sex QUOTE (bleez @ May 30 2014, 11:57 AM) I saw them a few months ago when they were in the UK.
