Lies The Motley Crue Movie Told You

Netflix’s The Dirt is a biographical comedy-drama about arguably one the most popular and controversial bands of the '80s and '90s, Motley Crue.
The movie does its best to depict the legendary rockers' rise to fame, their infamous offstage antics, and off-the-wall partying lifestyles. The band members were played by Douglass Booth, Game of Thrones' Iwan Rheon, Daniel Webber, and rapper Machine Gun Kelly.
However, although the movie did its best to capture the essence of Motley Crue, it didn't get everything right. Here are lies The Dirt told you about Motley Crue.

For anyone who knows what Mick Mars went through physically, then nothing but absolute respect should be given to him. Ankylosing Spondylitis is so incredibly painful & debilitating that I am not even sure how he did what he did for as many years as he did it. I couldn't imagine there would be enough alcohol and meds on the planet to get through it. Mad props to Mick Mars.

[@DarkDaze1]

I agree Mick was in much pain. I saw Mick at the Omni Party, and he was still youngish, but he was not having much fun. He sat on a sofa, drank vodka as I recall, a LOT! He was stoic, quiet, people would come sit near him, try to talk, but Mick was not into it. I asked Mick, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DUDE?” that night. Two words…”PEOPLE WATCHING.” Mick was an island unto himself in a room a sex, drugs, booze, and he WAS rock and roll. I have not seen much of Mick, or Vince, only Tommy-Gun and Sixx. That was prepandemic. Have been in ATL and CHI-Town since then. Mick, if you get wind of GS LEE (the Novelist from ATL) you called me the “pen pusher” always, lol, take care, Bro. GS Lee, or G.

[@_ChaosDragQueen_2009]

I Personally loved the film version, yes a lot was altered, yes a lot was left out but portraying 30years in hour and half I think they did just fine. The actors playing the band were brilliant and pretty much had them down to a T. All of the above differences however are mentioned in the book of the same name. The book is very detailed, it made me laugh, cry, cringe and feel utterly disgusted at times. I think the movie dumbed much of their journey down yet still managed to highlight just what an awesome band they are. The Crue are currently smashing their way back into peoples lives from the back of this movie and opening up opportunities for a younger generation to appreciate just how fine they are.

[@MahoneyBadger]

Claire Louise well said.

[@darenmaples3038]

They really needed to make this like a 3 part mini series. There’s a lot to cram into an hour and a half like you said. Lots were left out of kinda glossed over, but I agree not so much as blatant lies

My dude... Couldnt have said it better

[@crazyxtagen]

Click-baity title. I love the book way more than the movie, but claiming they were "lies" instead of cleanups for a movie version is a bit of a stretch.

[@JEST3R_]

Yeah pretty much all these are just "we had a deadline and could only write, film, direct, and edit so much"

[@patrickshannon3450]

When there's any biography about a band or artist it can and always will stretch the truth at times nobody will ever know the complete truth accept the band themselves

[@Scroteydada]

This movie advertised itself as accurate. "Clean-ups" as a euphemism for making the woman attack first before she gets punched, and then ignoring several other cases of assault is also misleading.

[@crazyxtagen]

Harry Willmore Actually the book describes her as calling his mom a cunt and stabbing Tommy with a pen too. It’s just he was less repentant after punching her IRL.

[@patrickshannon3450]

The movie is only semi accurate like all biographies it's the cleaned up version of what really happened I have a friend that knows Tommy and Vince personally he went to school with them.

I remember seeing Motley Crue about 7 years ago. The second is mick hit the last note of the last song on his guitar he tossed his guitar off and laid flat on an amp with his hands on his face. Curtain fell the rest of the band said it’s thank yous. Mick was in so much pain but he finished the show. Nothing but respect for him for then on

[@tombromley1906]

Another slight inaccuracy in the dirt was Skylar herself. She appears in the scene when Vince watches the TV broadcasting Sixx's "death". Sixx overdosed in 1987, but Skylar wasn't born until 1991.

I can honestly say Mick Mars is a really great guy. When they were on the shout at the 🤘devil tour I went backstage and met them all. Mick sat and drank a beer with me and talked to me for quite a while. It was a fun and entertaining conversation and Mick was very much a gentleman in comparison to his band mates 😀😊.

As someone who is under 30 and loves rock, I would love a biopic documentary on all these great rock bands, velvet revolver, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith. Would watch it all after seeing this, makes me appreciate American culture that our parents had

[@dananderson8973]

The movie was Great!!! As for the things "left out" or "changed" This happens with the filimg of EVERY movie! It is about getting the story told in the amount of time you can cram a 30+ year career into a hour and a half or two hour story!! I though they hit a home run with how they pulled it off, and the casting was great!! Crue 4Ever!!!

Really glad you guys touched on micks character but what I like to point out is the depiction of him in the film is more so how he is now which makes sense if the actor were to study him But the mick in the 80’s was energetic, loud and crazy like the rest of the guys.

[@ddayhoff10]

Much better than I thought it would be. I liked the parts with them speaking into the camera. This helped the story along and connected some dots along the way. It didn't take itself too seriously which is where this movie could have gone wrong. Great acting, great pace and a thorough telling of their story especially for compressing an entire career into 1h 45m.

yeah the moments where they pause and talk to the camera were super good, like i was a spectator following along their journey 💀💀

[@elisehurt5072]

What bothers me about the whole “they didn’t mention this & that person” is they have to get permission from these people to even drop a name.... they could’ve rejected consent & that’s why it wasn’t mentioned..... it’s the same as why they didn’t add Pamela Anderson in with Tommy Lee’s relationships Take into consideration that these people could’ve just not wanted anything to do with the movie

[@e32b61]

You don't need permission.

[@FromNothingICome]

Absolutely not. Public figures are fair game, especially if they're sticking to documented facts. The only case where this isn't true, is if they wrote something false or contentious. Then someone could try to sue them for slander. But that's also not a simple matter... They need to demonstrate not only that it was not true, but caused harm to their reputation.

My brother in law shared a cell with Vince in Contra Costa county after his 1987 accident. Another friend of mine knows Vince personally. It's funny to me how much "journalists" think they know. This band struggled to be the BEST from day one. Ronnie Montrose was a good friend of mine and he knew Nick AND Tommy very well. He had the real "dirt" on MC, and the movie/editorials don't even begin to describe what this band went through to "make it" in the industry. They are the real deal...

Rebel Rocker he is badass indeed! Many people don’t know that he has ankylosing spondylitis and how debilitating it is, they just thought he was a “run of the mill junkie”. I was happy that it was mentioned but wish they’d elaborated on it. The fact that he picked the guitar back up shows how dedicated he is. I have AS as well as a handful of other illnesses and knowing that there is someone else that knows your pain is comforting but it’s sad that he ended up abusing the meds bc he wasn’t taken seriously by doctors. Every time I see him play I notice he has fused more and more and I wonder how much longer he can keep it up. He is so talented!

[@daveglander1]

Mick Mars is always referenced as a dark, surly, angry and strong willed character, in the film and in real life persona. But in truth Mick was shy, reserved and avoided confrontation. The rest of the band constantly bullied him, as Nikki alluded to many times in the Heroin Diaries book, and Vince did in 'Tattoos and Tequila'. Mick was a man driven to despair by his younger bandmates. Often hiding out for months on end, trying his best to avoid contact with them. I also picked up on the Slash involvement in the first overdose. But nothing was mentioned about SIxx's second overdose, and the management's decision to cancel the European Tour (a tour I had tickets to, by the way) because they were afraid that one of them (ahem... Nikki) would never come back alive. Nothing was mentioned about Matthew Tripp (what a twat) that made headline news all over the world, Nikki's relationship with Robin Crosby, Vanity, Tommy and Pamela Anderson, Vince's war with Izzy Stradlin.... So much was missed.... But I guess I may be wishing for a four hour film.

Mick went through that all and it actually made him that strong willed persona. This and other tough things he had to face in his life. But even though he's dark and mysterious, he's very humble, kind and nice.

[@ffeeley1]

2:52 making it seem like it's out of the ordinary for vocalists to read from lyric sheets while recording. Almost every vocalist does this in the studio at one time or another, whether they wrote the lyrics or not. Lots of the time songs are being "constructed" while in the studio--changes are made, lyrics are rearranged, and even if not the vocalist hasn't exactly sang it a ton until they start demos, and then after they hear the demo further changes are usually made...recording is an ongoing process and lyrics sheets are necessary. Accidentally replace one word with a similar word and the song can take on entirely new meaning, so it's important to get it perfect.
