What "The Dirt" Got Right About Mötley Crüe (and the Stories They Left Out)

[@sitindogmas]

like MGK or not, he did nail playing Tommy Lee

[@TabethaAurochs]

MGK legit carried that movie. Not that everyone else was bad, but it's hard to make characters sympathetic or even just interesting when all they do is drugs-being a drug addict is mindlessly repetitive.

[@nephilimritual-band]

Completely agree. I really really don’t like MGK, from his music to his attitude / personality but he did Tommy Lee so much Justice for the film. Much love for that at the least. Seems like a chill dude but his music and whatnot has put me off really hard.

[@lukethelazymachine3687]

@@nephilimritual-band Agreed. He shoulda quit music and steered toward acting. He's clearly way better at it

[@Dev-In-Denver123]

I’m very familiar with MGK and was wondering if that was him for the first 30 min 😂. When I figured it out I was like NAILED IT 😂😂😂

[@WowDoodWuuut]

​@@nephilimritual-band As someone who's been a fan of his since 2011, you couldn't be farther off on your perfection of MGK. Listen to more of his music and tell me it doesn't hit you in the heart.

[@user-zb1gd7ch1t]

i really wish they made Dirt into a mini series so much happening, and wild watch, was great

[@anothergamingchannel2656]

Yeah if you're anyone thats a big MC fan you know they easily could've made a mini series out of their history. The movie was good but it felt too short. They tried packing so much into such a short time and couldn't really go into more details on a lot of events and even cut out quite a bit of their history and some of the stuff the band members went through. Could make an entire movie alone off nicki sixxx. His book heroin diaries is insane. And that's just one year of his life lol. But I did still enjoy the movie. Just wanted more of it though.

[@BNatoAk]

More fake content is all that would amount to.

[@TranzparentMethods]

That would've gotten boring real fast. It's one thing to see it in print, but on the screen, it would've painted them as the douchebags they were.

[@BAGofTALENT]

​@@TranzparentMethods If being a rich rockstar in one of the biggest bands of a generation with a endless amounts of hot chicks and doing whatever you want whenever you want means you're a douchebag then sign me up . Don't hate because they lived your wildest fantasy everyday.

[@GaryCedestromIII]

"They could've made it into a mini series like...um....uh." Like Pam & Tommy, Tommy. That one was about you.

[@Gameang123acdc]

"MGK. He played you, right?" *Puts a photo of a young Nikki Sixx instead* lmao

[@wastedtalent666]

🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂

[@eddienava-j9c]

That was a photo from a tattoo magazine from a while ago

[@NJPat050]

Definitely did, also read Nikki's heroin diaries to see the truth

[@hyenaswine]

lol when I saw that picture, I was like wow he did a great job!!!

[@Jord85]

What a punch to the gut

[@MrRudeboy212]

Tommy - "Bro, just wait till you get to the toilet." Theo - ""Yeah, that's the best way."

[@margaret928]

LOL

[@plasticrap4577]

Theo’s best and most under-rated line ever happens at the very end….” everyone’s Pablo sh*t Casso!🤣🤣

[@smokescreenOG]

It's PooCasso, he could have done better.

[@michaelgarcia2050]

Just saw that... I'm dyin'!!!!

[@lukethelazymachine3687]

MGK should have quit music and leaned into acting more. He's been unlikable in everything he's done EXCEPT for The Dirt, which he nailed it, dude earned his stripes with that part.

[@ElvisWorley]

He was in a movie with Kevin Bacon called One Way and it was great

[@ManFrancisco]

Sebastian Stan played him better

[@juliafernanda6756]

​@@ManFrancisco No, he didn't

[@BonnChnd]

Well, he ain’t ready to play with the likes of Cate Blancett or Daniel Day Lewis or anything

[@ManFrancisco]

@@juliafernanda6756 yes he did. MGK is the worst actor in the world and the worst musician in the world.

[@pimpspongegaming7318]

Pablo Shitcasso. One of the artists of all time.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

He's not a patch on Salvador Dookie.

[@robluker1599]

Best arseist of all time lol

[@ThroatGoatNancy]

I thought Tommy was Justin Hawkins a few times through this.

[@theghettogentleman]

"Oh yeah, you gotta - recycling" made me HOWL

[@corrado]

Theo living vicariously through Tommy's stories, with all his "yeaaaahh"

[@yankee4424]

That was my only fault with The Dirt was that it felt too rushed. Should have been a 10 part limited series.

[@Krixx_STX]

man Mötley Crüe will always be rockstars

[@FrankieLovesElvis]

I met Tommy twice and he’s such a kool dude. Extremely nice guy and took his time with me, no pressure and gave me 15 minutes just talking like old friends. 😊

[@leemp337]

Get this dude a glass of water....geez

[@Strawman333]

😂

[@harley5252]

Which one?

[@na-vn5qy]

for real

[@DonkeyPartsYT]

Fuckin gross

[@funbrandi2603]

Right!?? That's all i kept thinking!😂

[@TheKingsJarl]

The Crüe made everybody feel like they had to “step up their game” at some point..even the god of metal.

[@zdravkodimitrov3016]

Out of all the billions/trillions of videos on KZbin.... I saw this one and though "Oh I'll play that while I eat lunch"

[@aviiky8961]

Yeah the one video that has a guy snorting ants and licking someone else’s piss😂😂😂😂

[@janeanet]

on lunch break as i watch this right now 😭🤣

[@clawje]

snorting a whole line of ANTS is crazy work man

[@zeeseeds8151]

That was light work in the 80's

[@007artimus]

That was probably the healthiest thing he ingested

Drugz man

[@kabouterplop7196]

I snorted a live spider once when I had my tweaker days.

[@BrdOutaMyMnd]

Went crazy on that movie during the pandemic and saw it 11 times in a week. It was great!

[@sheldonspates6562]

Loved It!!!

[@Jdw-cb4ym]

The Dirt is the most entertaining music biography I've ever read. I grew up on their music because of my Dad, but was never a fan. After reading the book I instantly had a new found love for that band. Not the music per se, but just the band and the hedonistic idea of a Rock 'n' Roll Band... cannot recommend enough that people read it. And definitely before watching the movie, which is just alright in my opinion when compared to the book, which is f***ing incredible!

[@paulchristie4904]

Read Nikki six heroin diaries..that’s some real raw dark 💩…unbelievable book

[@nelsonwestrick9241]

My buddies n me have chanted Crue Crue Crue Crue to countless concerts of there’s throughout the Detroit area & always had a blast! There music f’ing rocks 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@stvpodcast]

Love ya chatting with Tommy. Ya put up a photo of Nikki Sixx though at the beginning.

[@anothergamingchannel2656]

Okay I'm not trippin... I even rewinded it just to do a double take and was like "isn't that nikki?? Maybe tommy had put on weight at one point or something? Nah pretty sure that was nikki 🤔" Lol

[@bongodave13]

There should absolutely be a miniseries. Plenty of Dirt.

[@ninakore]

That story doesnt sound like fun. It sounds like psychosis.

[@Jimmylosky]

You internet dweebs don’t know the legend that is Motley Crue and it shows

[@drinkinbebop6231]

My boy Tommy and Theo!?! Oh hell yeah!

[@toddr2422]

I wish all my friends weren't dead. I remember bits and pieces of my crazy ass life, it would be cool to have someone to remind me of shit I forgot. All my best friends didn't make it past 2005. I was the craziest one and somehow I survive. Crazy..

[@samclark2541]

I think I've seen the dirt at least 300 times.. I can't stop watching it

[@D.S.-uy7rb]

Just when the Crue thought they were on the top of their game, sort of speak....they met Ozzy 😂

[@deveey]

needa get the road rules crew back together and see what yall can remember

[@youngsean3342]

Thanks to the movie, I’m now a die hard Mötley Crüe fan 🤘🏼

[@brentdreyer9648]

When Tommy Lee is the voice of reason you know things have gotten completely out of hand.

[@GearsJosh56]

The long term effects of drugs is pretty interesting to look at lol

[@BAGofTALENT]

Ozzy is 75 and looks like most 75 yr old guys , same with alot of rockstars like Keith Richards or Steven Tyler. Those guys ripped it up and lived the craziest best life anyone could of imagined and still made it to old age , not saying doing drugs is a great idea but clearly it doesn't mean you're guaranteed to die early. Live life to fullest it will all be over one day . Most guys would easily trade 10 yrs of life to enjoy a lifestyle like that

[@dmaxm2498]

I wish “The Dirt” had more Ozzy Osbourne stories from when they toured together. A lot of my top favorite hilarious moments in the book was the stories including Ozzy. They had me rolling on the floor. “The Dirt,” is one of the most read books in prison.

[@VikCalo]

4:31 you can hear the yayo punching Tommys throat….

[@johnny_sins_himself]

This man has experience

[@WV562]

Tommy’s brain is cooked lol 😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘

[@RollTideRising]

They should’ve definitely did a series with the dirt

[@frankmilkovics7598]

Tommy's story telling is funny, his delivery, I was just laughing while he's telling the Ozzy Shit.

[@Alejandro-jh6hr]

We need soon a Jane's Adiction Movie....and Tommy Lee as Perry Farrell....😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jp421JP]

Ozzy is just the greatest everything of all time! lol.

[@funbrandi2603]

Greatest everything....😂❤

[@tommyrose553]

They dude that played him in Pam and Tommy totally nailed it!!!

[@ultimatewarrior9589]

Honestly it being a Netflix release they really should have made it a mini series.

[@dmaxm2498]

It is a bunch of BS that they made the movie so short. They should’ve at least made it a limited series of one hour episodes. Netflix totally dropped the ball, and didn’t do Mötley Crüe or their book the justice they deserved

[@rogeliofernandezjimenez3053]

I agree, it was too short the movie.

[@TheGrowBros]

Heroin diaries...now that was a good read

[@romo182]

Amazing read!

[@goodpainlive]

How the four of them are alive is beyond me.

[@sebanapo]

Literally line by line 😂😂😂🧂

[@CampItClub]

I was disappointed that they never even explained how Nikki came up with “Kickstart My Heart”. They showed leading up to it, but skipped over it.

[@TimeWatch5]

"they make food with their food" mind blown

[@wwbuirkle]

Tommy talks like an 8th grader

[@Gizzorge]

Words and sentences are hard for Tommy…

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

What makes me laugh is that while Neil Strauss was writing “The Dirt” he was simultaneously falling in with a subculture of LA pickup artists including Mystery and Owen Cook (aka Tyler Durden) and he got a second NY Times bestselling book called “The Game” out of it.

[@grouchygrundle]

Dude hes really really geeked up

[@Mom99004]

Thats nerve damage

[@grouchygrundle]

@@Mom99004 oh I'm sure

[@jonathansteadman7935]

My take away from this is MGK 'He did a great job', 'Hes Killing it', 'He did a great job' !!!!!!!!

[@userman44]

Out of the Top Ten best stories in the book, only about 3 of them were in the movie.

[@sturttv]

I had no idea how good Theo is at interviewing. He is so good at this. He should be The Tonight Show host, not Fallon.

[@tacticalhyvecadre1049]

Yes it should have been a miniseries. Great movie better legend.

Theo does have some funny analogies.

[@antoniobenevides2890]

that ozzy story is insane

[@LAvsMVP]

poor cleaning crews lmao

[@TranzparentMethods]

Yeah, "The Dirt" should have been about 3 hours long, but that would have been fan service for Crue fans, not a movie that you wanna watch regularly. I disliked how much the focus was on Nikki and not the other band members. It was the Sixx and Lee movie...

[@CodyWard-gz4iv]

I bet they can make Mötley Crüe with a 10-season show on Netflix!❤❤

[@EmilyGrilliot-ct1np]

You guys are so funny 😂 😂😂😂❤️‍🔥

[@texasbornrefinerymade753]

I really liked the movie, but I lost respect for Nikki sixx and stopped fuckin with Motley Crue all together. He use to have a radio show and I would listen to him all the time, I listened to his show before I ever started listening to podcasts. He use to be on air criticizing gene Simmons claiming that kiss was the epitome of rock and roll and would say gene needs to stay humble. Few years later Nikki is doing the same shit saying Motley Crue is the greatest rock band to ever exist and getting into arguments on social media with the lead singer of Godsmack.

[@whateverwhatever5715]

The Dirt is a great movie ...it really is

[@epaulk1969]

"Just wait till you get ... to the toilet!!" "Yeah that's the best way!!"

[@mattmadden3716]

Motley Crue’s limo driver was interviewed and said that the movie didn’t even come close to showing the real dark side of these guys. Supposedly they were involved in the occult and some pretty evil stuff.

[@xdude2x]

Why didn’t they show him beating Pam?

[@sebp400]

Just noticed that the guy that plays Ozzy is Keefe in The Righteous Gemstones. He also plays in The Binge. cool actor.

Love to see MGK on This Past Weekend. I think a lot of people would have a different outlook on him

[@dmaxm2498]

“The Dirt,” is Mötley Crüe’s book about their band, and the shenanigans they pulled during their wild days. How the hell could their book have gotten anything wrong when it’s an autobiography written and told by them? The book was at least 13yrs old by the time Netflix released the movie adaptation of said book. So what was false, or what did they get wrong in the book?

[@lukeorrell4645]
