Haven’t read all the reviews but wanted to highlight something that is the real story of this book:
The spiritual aspect of this tale.
It’s subtle and not often referenced, but it’s undeniably what the book is REALLY about: the very real battle between good and evil playing out in the lives of the band.
It’s straight up acknowledged in the parts about the supernatural manifestations at Lita and Nikki’s house — and the fact he was dabbling in satanism. Also in the part about Mick and the ghost of his disease. If you read the book with eyes toward that angle, you see the cause and effects of everything in their lives logically laid out.
Let’s get this part straight first: even the Bible says satan is the ruler of this world, and even Jesus didn’t deny it when satan asserted that fame and riches was his to distribute. All you have to do is worship Satan and you can have what is his to give.
Whether they took it seriously or not, the Crue actively worshiped satan through their lifestyles. They’re whoremongers, drug users (sorcerers), adulterers...and actively promoted this lifestyle through their fame. They did the devil’s work and he rewarded them.
Of course, a deal with the devil is never a good one. Despite all their dreams coming true, they all had to pay horrible prices for what they got. Once again, the Bible says sin is pleasurable for a season. And the wages of sin is death.
No matter what “good” you got out of your deal, it still costs too much. All that breaking of God’s laws throughout the season of fame IS the selling of your soul. Satan hopes you’ll be so far alienated from God and your conscience seared that you never realize YOU CANNOT SELL YOUR SOUL BECAUSE YOU DON’T OWN IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. But it’s just like the devil (the Bible calls him The Enemy) to make you think you’re too far gone to ever be forgiven. The devil is also called “The Father of Lies” — and his biggest lie is that anyone is too dirty to ever be washed in God’s word and be saved from Hell.
Motley Crue is no different than any of us. We’re all sinners. There isn’t a single person alive who is free of sin — only Jesus was a perfect human.
The greatest battle of all time is between God and Satan and they’re battling for the souls of men. Everything we can perceive with our senses is temporary, the Bible tells us. Everything we DON’T see is what’s eternal and REALITY. And there is a war in the spirit world constantly happening around us. What we do — whether it’s praising and praying to God or committing sin and therefore worshiping satan — gives power to either side.
Sickness is a spirit like Mick saw supernaturally. And like Vince saw in the cancer of Skylar when he said looking at her tumor was like looking at “the face of evil.” He was discerning the ACTUAL EVIL SPIRIT OF DISEASE behind that organic mass that killed his daughter. Our battle is NOT with flesh and blood but SPIRITS, the Bible assures us.
My prayer and hope for them and anyone reading this is that they understand the victory can be snatched from satan — that we don’t have to take the easy broad road to hell not even realizing we’re being led down it — Being led by people like Motley Crue, who are victims themselves, but used by Satan because of their natural GOD GIVEN talents and abilities. They can sway the masses down that road of sin with their natural talents and charisma so satan hires them!!
The Bible gives away the ending of this battle between Good and evil. God wins. The battle is reaching the final stages, we’re living in the end times, no doubt.
But while you still have breath in your body, you can get on the winning side by asking Jesus Christ to come into your heart and make you brand new. He can take away addictions, depression, suicidal tendencies instantly — I’m a witness. No matter how lost you think you are, Jesus can come in and make you and your life brand new. Just listen to the millions of testimonies of people on YouTube — people just like you got their lives, minds, bodies — everything — completely made new by the power of Christ.
All you have to do is humble yourself and admit you need help. The best thing that can happen to anyone is to reach the end of your rope and FINALLY set your pride aside and cry out to God for help. Good for you if you don’t need to hit rock bottom first. But most people do.
And when you do, when you ask Jesus to show you he’s real and to come into your life and heart — that tiny drop of faith it takes to say such a thing will be rewarded — everything old will be stripped away and you’ll be made BRAND NEW. You’ll lose everything, pretty much, including most of your friends (except the real ones). But that’s what happens in a life renovation.
This life is a puff of smoke, the Bible says. It’s a 70-80 year (if you’re lucky) audition for ETERNITY in one of two places: heaven or hell. Now is the time to choose. We’re not promised another second. Jesus said “ “No man comes to the Father (God in heaven) but by (through) Me.” Jesus is the Door to Salvation. Make the single most important decision in every human’s life: CHOOSE CHRIST NOW!
God bless you.

Motley Crue's biography that Changed the world of books
Motley Crue's the dirtThis book has it all, Love of music, Love of life, hatred of life, life's lessons, The Rockstar life told by people who lived the Rockstar life to it's fullest, Each member of the band contributed to this book, Niki Sixx of this band also wrote his own Biography called the Heroin Diaries which is another book I'm picking up.I only paid 19$ for this book, condition is perfect, I did however notice that in some reviews from this seller that some got books that were torn, ripped, almost destroyed, my book however came to me Perfect, best $19 I spent on a book ever. I like to read this while I'm at work as I work overnights at a Gas Station convenience store and as many will know the nightshifts are mostly slow and very boring and this book keeps me awakeGreat bookGreat BiographyMovie was also good but not quite the hit the book was.Great Price,Came perfectly clean, no rips, tears or anything
