 Exposed $11.98 This album to me is one of the best albums Vince Neil came out with. Like DAVID LEE ROTH, Vince can still make rockin albums without MOTLEY CRUE. Don't get me wrong I like MOTLEY CRUE, but I usually go with the under dog. It's to bad Vince didn't come out with more solo albums. I would say the whole album is pretty good, don't buy this album thinking it sounds like MOTLEY CRUE!! I rate this CD a 8 from 1to10!!  Carved in Stone $11.98 The other reviewers must be deaf, brain dead, or just Vince writing reviews himself. First, this is NOT a metal album, it is a techno dance music, sound effects heavy, guitar deficient, mess. This sound NOTHING like Motley or the "You're Invited" album which I like. This is a major disappointment and embarrasment. Second, you cant understand the few lyrics that are here, and when the band is the singer's name, this aint a good thing. Anyone could have done this techno album with enough computers and sound effects. Third, this album just plain sucks.  Motley Crue: The Dirt - Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band $16.99 Motley Crue: The Dirt is a collective autobiography about the founding, the life, and pre-drawn conclusion of the band. Neil Strauss did an excellent job formatting the book and getting each member's candid take on Motley Crue. Contradicting views are brought together and a few outsiders from the record label also chime in on their experiences with the band. Motley Crue's inception set off a controlled explosion, with each member the fuel. Eventually the pressure of the music industry's "Machine" inevitably turned them on each other, ending with members finding themselves on an alone path without Crue. Band members Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Tommy Lee, and Vince Neil all offer there own perspectives into the world of Crue. Nikki writes nonstop, lengthy chapters about his family, drug problems, and song writing. Vince writes about his vicious womanizing and hobbies outside the band. Tommy Lee writes much about his role as the fun loving member as well as his helpless romantic side. Mick's chapters are short and offer not so much his take on the band but his take on the world and conspiracy theories. Later in the book after Vince leaves the band, John Carabie writes a few chapters about his take on being in Motley Crue and how it changed him. The Motley Crue members take shots at each other then often forgive and feel guilt about how they acted at times of crisis. It is amazing to see how the band changes from being kids jamming in Los Angeles clubs to megastars. Eventually drugs, alcohol, and record label executives brought them to dark places in their personal lives. They get sober, they relapse, and the process repeats itself until you find the band grown up. After the band loses it's identity without Vince, executives push the band back together and they somehow get along. This book was a great read; the tales of sex, drugs, rock and roll are timeless. For me the stories aren't that old, and it is interesting to look back at the event and see the bands view. |
