'The Dirt' is a great read. Of course it's highly exaggerated, but if you want to read a warts-and- all story about the sleazy exploits of huge rock band on the road, then this is the book you wanna get.

Finally got around to reading 'The Dirt' after a bargain buy at Woolies last year for $15 which is half the price of the bigger book stores.

Wow, I thought A Kiedis from Chillies was a great read...the stuff these guys got up to!

Makes me wonder if this era is dead...if not, is it the rappers leading this lifestyle atm?

Agree, The Dirt is one of the best rock'n'roll books you could get. No wonder it spent so long on the NY Best Sellers list. Its been supposed to be made into a movie..I read Christopher Walken had signed on to play Blackie Lawless...probably never get off the ground though.

Anyone manage to get through Nikki's "The Heroin Diaries"? Its pretty rough going..kinda gets you down a bit reading how low a millionaire heroin addict can get. Hard to read through the entire thing...very depressing.

I ran into Nikki in a supermarket in LA years back..he had his little kid Gunnar with him and he was abusing someone who was telling his kid to behave himself..log onto metalsludge.com and take a look at the recent photo of Nikki on a beach - he looks like a beached whale he is that fat.:eek:

Anyway, the Dirt is great. Not sure how they can remember all that to be honest...

What about Ozzy O snorting up ants and the filthy antics around that incident?! Good grief, how they put that onto film will be interesting!

A big fat 'R' coming on that movie.

Best I could find was a release date in 2011 but nothing much else on production notes, some rumors on casting.

Footnote- The Anthony K tv series on HBO seems to have the green light but not much else other than the title 'Spider and son'.

Too bizarre to possibly be fiction. Poor Ozzie, he's just tragic.:D

You Tube has vid's from their prime..>Dr Feelgood and Kick Start my heart. Worth a search.

I liked the chapter about Axl Rose wanting to punch on...and then never showing up. Gold.
