MOTLEYû CRUE 67510 | RANDOM HOUSE | Mötley Crüe | The Dirt Page 2 09-Jan-20 Zum Buch Drogeneskapaden, wilde Sexabenteuer, kaputte Hotelzimmer, Schlägereien und Gefängnisaufenthalte. Wer glaubt, schon alles über Rock ’n’ Roll-Exzesse zu wis- sen, kennt entweder Mötley Crüe nicht oder hat dieses Buch nicht gelesen. Die amerikanische Hardrockband hat seit ihrer Gründung Anfang der 80er Jahre alles unternommen, um den bekannten Rockstar-Klischees die Krone aufzusetzen. Heil herausgekommen sind die vier dabei nicht immer – großen kommerziellen Erfol- gen stehen private Katastrophen gegenüber, ausverkauften Tourneen folgten Kon- zerte in kleinen Clubs, Ehen wurden zur schlagenden Verbindung und endeten nicht selten im Knast. Und trotzdem haben Mötley Crüe überlebt. Gemeinsam mit Bestsellerautor Neil Strauss gelang ihnen mit »The Dirt« eine unglaublich wilde, unterhaltsame und grandios witzige Bandchronik, die 2019 von Netflix verfilmt wurde. »Kein echter Heavy-Metal-Fan wird ohne diese unglaubliche Chronik auskommen können.« Publishers Weekly »Das unverzichtbarste Rockbuch des Jahres, ach was, aller Zeiten.« Q Magazine »Egal, an welcher Stelle man dieses Buch aufschlägt, man findet immer eine Geschichte, die man nicht wieder vergisst.« New York Times »Ein zügelloser und reueloser Einblick in das Leben einer echten Rock 'n' Roll- Band.« Maxim Zu den Autoren Mötley Crüe wurden 1981 in Los Angeles von Vince Neil (Gesang), Micky Mars (Gitarre), Nikki Sixx (Bass) und Tommy Lee (Schlagzeug) gegründet. Bis heute hat die »wildeste Heavy-Metal-Band der Welt« (Playboy) mehr als 50 Millionen Alben verkauft. 2005 feierte die Band nach mehreren Jahren Auszeit ein triumphales Live-Comeback, erhielt 2006 (25 Jahre nach der offiziellen Gründung der Band) einen Stern auf dem Walk of Fame in Hollywood und besteht bis heute in der ursprünglichen Besetzung. Neil Strauss schreibt als Journalist für die New York Times,dieVillage Voice oder den Rolling Stone. Er war neben anderen Büchern Co-Autor der beiden provokanten Bestseller-Autobiographien »Pornostar« von Jenna Jameson (ebenfalls bei Heyne Hardcore erschienen) und »The Long Hard Road Out of Hell« von Marilyn Manson. 67510 | RANDOM HOUSE | Mötley Crüe | The Dirt Page 3 09-Jan-20 .. ..

Sie hieß Bullwinkle. Jedenfalls nannten wir sie so, nach dem Elch aus der Zei- chentrickserie, dem sie wirklich verdammt ähnlich sah. Aber trotzdem wollte Tommy sich einfach nicht von ihr trennen, obwohl er jedes Mädchen auf dem Sun- set Strip hätte haben können. Er liebte Bullwinkle und wollte sie heiraten, weil sie, wie er behauptete, ihren Saft quer durchs Zimmer spritzen konnte, wenn sie kam. Leider war ihr Saft nicht das Einzige, was herumflog, wenn sie bei uns war. Es flogen auch Teller, Klamotten, Stühle, Fäuste – einfach alles, was sie in die Hände bekam, wenn sie ihre Anfälle kriegte. Ich hatte noch nie jemanden erlebt, der so Vince 11 67510 | RANDOM HOUSE | Mötley Crüe | The Dirt Page 12 09-Jan-20 gewalttätig war, und das will was heißen: Immerhin hatte ich eine Zeit lang in Compton gewohnt. Ein falsches Wort, ein falscher Blick, und schon bekam sie einen Eifersuchtsanfall. Eines Abends versuchte Tommy sie abzuwehren, indem er die Tür zu unserem Haus verkeilte – das Schloss war schon lange kaputt, weil die Polizei sich öfters gewaltsam Eintritt verschafft hatte –, aber Bullwinkle schnappte sich einen Feuerlöscher und warf ihn durch das Glasfenster, um reinzukommen. Spä- ter tauchte die Polizei mit entsicherten Waffen bei Tommy auf, während Nikki und ich uns im Badezimmer versteckten. Ich weiß nicht, vor wem wir mehr Angst hat- ten – vor Bullwinkle oder den Cops. Das Fenster wurde nie repariert. Das war uns zu viel Aufwand. Weil wir ganz in der Nähe vom Whisky A Go-Go wohnten, kamen dauernd Leute vorbei, um bei uns weiterzufeiern, wenn der Laden zumachte, und kletterten entweder durch das kaputte Fenster oder durch die verzogene und vergammelte Eingangstür, die nur dann geschlossen blieb, wenn wir ein gefaltetes Stück Pappe unten drunter klemm- ten. Ich teilte mir einen Raum mit Tommy; Nikki, dieser Wichser, hatte das große Zimmer allein für sich. Beim Einzug hatten wir eigentlich das Rotationsprinzip ver- einbart, damit jeden Monat jemand anders in den Genuss
