Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll.
Vince Neil’s dramatic car crash, Tommy Lee’s sex tape, Nikki Sixx dying in Slash’s hotel room and returning to life, watching Ozzy Osbourne snort insects because he couldn’t get his hands on some drugs, bandmates suing each other, using bloodstained sheets to decorate the backstage area, wild drug use, and more sex than bunnies in heat.
If you’re looking to define the phrase ‘sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll,’ Mötley Crüe are the band that all others are measured against.
At present, the story of Freddie Mercury is thrilling audiences around the world in Bohemian Rhapsody but things are about to get dirty. Very dirty.
Based on Mötley Crüe’s 2001 best-selling autobiography, The Dirt is an unflinching and uncensored story about sex, drugs, rock ‘n roll, fame, and the high price of excess.
Director Jeff Tremaine (Jackass co-creator) shows us just how Nikki Sixx (Douglas Booth), Mick Mars (Iwan Rheon), Tommy Lee (Colson Baker), and Vince Neil (Daniel Webber) took Mötley Crüe from the Sunset Strip to the world stage, and what it meant to become the world’s most notorious rock band.
The Dirt is released on Netflix from 22 March.
