Reddit reviews The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band

There's a good book that details most of what Manziel does for his preparation. Interesting insight.

I started reading The Dirt which is the autobiography of Motley Crue. I don't listen to the band but it's a VERY interesting book to read.

EDIT: Oops thought it said "band origin" not "band name origin". But still check out the book.

I really enjoyed the Keith Moon biography - not the most talented writer, but the story is so incredible that you can't help getting sucked in.

I can also recommend the Motley Crue autobiography. Absolutely unbelievable what they got up to, and it's nice reading the same stories from four different perspectives.

Lastly, I haven't read it but Slash's biography is supposed to be worth a look.

John McEnroe - You Cannot Be Serious. I picked this up in a duty free before a flight. I didn't know anything bout tennis when I grabbed it but it still stands as one of my favourite autobiographies.

Also:

Motley Crue - The Dirt. If your into the 80's rock scene.

I read the book "The Dirt" which is about Mötley Crüe. The description of Axl Rose was not so kind.

The Dirt.

Whiskey bottle on the cover, but this Motley Crue tour memoir goes pretty heavy on Nikki Sixx’s heroin addiction.

Motley Crue: The Dirt

If you're a fan of the band I highly recommend it. It can be difficult at times to wade through Tommy's dude-talk and Nikki's incessant whining but overall it's a very interesting read.

Dood - love Megadeth

also Judas Priest, Pantera, Dokken, Dio, Maiden, Motorhead - Motley Crue

Before you say anything about Motley Crue, have you read their biography? The Dirt - holy shit, I knew bands did 'rock and roll lifestyle', but that was an eye-opener

*EDIT - about Megadeth vs. Metallica - Metallica, as a whole, has produced music that is much more intricate and has more depth - Megadeth just fukkin rawks - and that's what many give a shit about - I don't disagree

Why are people so shocked by this, this is nothing. Has anyone ever heard, read or watched any of the bazillion stories of rock n rollers doing crazy shit.

I'll leave this here and recommend it to everyone. Then you'll realize that Biebs is a huge bitch compared to almost every other musician.
