Motley Crue apparently unfilmable gathering life account, The Dirt, will at long last turned out as a biopic by means of Netflix next spring. Frontman Vince Neil imparted the news to an unreservedly energized, shout point– studded tweet: "Amazing!!! Simply left Netflix workplaces. Just observed The Dirt motion picture!! Fuckin' marvelous!! Can hardly wait for anyone passing by to view it! Discharged March 22!! Yea!!!" An agent for Netflix affirmed the date to Rolling Stone.


The band discharged The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band, co-composed by Neil Strauss, in 2001. It contains probably the grittiest, raunchiest, as far as anyone knows genuine stories recorded, with scenes portraying the maltreatment of medications, liquor and groupies as the "Yell at the Devil" rockers some way or another endure the Eighties and a low business period in the Nineties. Plans for a movie rendition have been in progress since 2006, initially with Seinfeld essayist Larry Charles slated to coordinate. Producer Jeff Tremaine marked on in 2013 and helmed the shooting of the film, delivered by the band, not long ago.

The cast highlights Machine Gun Kelly playing Tommy Lee, Douglas Booth as Nikki Sixx, Iwan Reheon as Mick Mars and Daniel Webber as Vince Neil. It likewise includes portrayals of Ozzy Osbourne, Heather Locklear and Crue supervisor Doc McGhee.


In a 2015 Rolling Stone meeting, when Motley Crue were amidst their last visit, Lee presented what fans ought to anticipate from the image. "Nikki and I went to a table read and it was so screwing strange," he said. "Particularly when the motion picture opens that way, you go, 'Goodness, my God, on the off chance that it opens this way, this is fuckin' nuts.' That was extremely a trek. Jeff Tremaine's vision is to … make it as genuine as could reasonably be expected. He's truly conscientious. He resembles, it will be down to the autos you see in the city, the phones from the Eighties, the lights. The outfits. You will feel like you're in that day and age, and he needed a ton of stuff. There will be a ton of P.O.V. stuff where you'll be in Vince's mind, in Nikki's mind while it was going down."

VINCE NEIL Performs MÖTLEY CRÜE Classics At DUNDALK HERITAGE FAIR

                                                                               

MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil headlined the second day of the 2018 Dundalk Heritage Fair on June 30 in Dundalk, Maryland. Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below (courtesy of Rock N Roll Experience).

MÖTLEY CRÜE called it quits in December 2015 following an eighteen-month tour that saw the group performing to packed houses all over the world.

A tour film about CRÜE's final shows, "The End", came out last fall, and a film adaptation of the band's 2001 autobiography "The Dirt" is in the works.

Speaking to "Trunk Nation", Eddie Trunk's show on SiriusXM channel Volume (106), Vince acknowledged that he is currently the only member of MÖTLEY CRÜE who is waving the flag for the band's music by performing CRÜE songs as a solo artist.

"It's a cool thing, because I love MÖTLEY CRÜE, I love MÖTLEY CRÜE's music, and I love singing, and I love the fans' reactions when they hear the songs," he said. "Whether we're playing in front of a thousand people or twenty thousand people, I can only see the front row anyway. So I'm happy for me and for the fans to be able to still hear that music after MÖTLEY CRÜE is finished."

Neil reiterated the fact that he doesn't mind performing in much smaller places with his solo band than he was accustomed to playing with MÖTLEY CRÜE. "I always look at it like the best of both worlds," he explained. "You know, we had the big, giant MÖTLEY stuff and everything, and then you've got… I like going out and playing… We do fifteen-hundred, two-thousand, three-thousand seaters and some festival stuff, and it's fun to go out there and just let the music do the talking, as the song goes. And I don't miss it. I like just going out there and just raw."

Even though Neil's solo set consists exclusively of MÖTLEY CRÜE material, he says that he tries to keep things fresh by occasionally throwing in "deeper" album cuts that many fans wouldn't expect to hear in a live situation.

"Like [the] songs 'Red Hot' and 'Piece Of Your Action', we didn't have [them] in the set for a long time, and then I was, like, 'Yeah, let's just go ahead and let's do this,'" he said. "Then we added 'Red Hot' and we stopped doing it for a while, and then we just added it again."

He continued: "The old songs are… MÖTLEY didn't play all these old songs, and I enjoy singing these old songs, so it's fun for me and it's fun for the band and it's fun for the crowd."

Neil's solo band includes Dana Strum and Jeff Blando from SLAUGHTER, along with drummer Zoltan Chaney.

19 Things We Learned Hanging Out Backstage With Motley Crue


It's been four hours until Mötley Crüe took the stage at the Pepsi Center in Denver, and Nikki Sixx is on his tour bus, flipping through a book about the 1936 Olympics and talking about his game a rudeness . "Last night, I played with my wife and daughter until 1 am," says the bass player, 55. "I'm going to touch someone in One and crush them."

This guy was pronounced dead after a heroin overdose in 1987, but much has changed for the four members of Crüe since those crazy days. "When you're young, you drink all night, kiss a thousand girls and resoplas as much as you want," Sixx says. "Now, I am sober, I have the desire to conquer more things."

At that time, Motley Crue is in the first stage of his end turns, packing stages in the United States with special guest Alice Cooper. We spoke with the four band members for a story in the new Rolling Stone. Here are 19 things we learned from interviews.
