There was a teaser on Nikki's and Motley's Instagram stories yesterday. The Dirt will be on Netflix March 22. I'm rockin' out for my 51st this year because the movie comes out March 22 (on my birthday!).



Eddie Trunk notes that from what he's heard, it sticks closely to the book The Dirt, but the actual timeline (where they end, what plot points they highlight) are unknown by him. No doubt things that will be included will be Vince's car crash, his child dying, Nikki overdosing, Tommy's marriage to Heather and/or Pamela, the beginnings in L.A., living in a shitty house. It looks as thought them playing the Whiskey a-Go Go early on and Nikki being set on fire is in there. Where will it end? Trunk said maybe with the first breakup when Vince left but he's not sure.

It'll probably be like Bohemian Rhapsody, taking the beginning, then peppering in major turns and stories in their life, then ending with a big event. You can't fit everything into a movie, so you have to pick and choose, condense a timeline, etc. It's problematic for fans who think a movie is supposed to be a 100% reenactment documentary type thing. People complained about the Whitney movie, the Toni Braxton movie, the Bobby Brown movie, etc etc. Prince fans would rip a Prince movie because "he wasn't wearing this when that happened" or "his hair was parted on the other side" sorta shit. I hope they never make a Prince movie, ever.

But as far as Motley Crue, I'm ready. Crue fans - thoughts?!

I read The Dirt and it will be really interesting to see how will it translate onto the small screen. I wonder who is gonna play Vanity

She's not likely to be portrayed in the movie. She certainly isn't listed in the IMDB cast list (which looks mostly complete because even those uncredited in the movie are listed at this point). Nikki's bigger story is dying from an O.D., then coming back to life.

how about when he shoots up on stage...hope to see that

There is so much drama in The Dirt, I am surprised this isn't a 10 part series

FOR REAL THO!

This should be epic but I'm sure many people will believe it's fiction because of the craziness. Can't wait to see how they portray David Lee Roth. Years ago, Val Kilmer was in talks to be Diamond Dave. The Ozzy scenes should be wild as well...

Christian Gehring (who has most recently been on the new ABC The Goldbergs spinoff Schooled) is playing David Lee Roth. Tony Cavalero (who was on a nice little show called Hart of Dixie a few years ago). Tony looks more like a Roth type, but he also has that 80s Ozzy nuance.

A soundtrack with four new songs will be released the same day as the movie. But the title track is out now.

StrangeButTrue said:

I heard they have recorded a version of Madonna’s Like A Virgin for this doc.

It's not a documentary, it's a movie proper. But yeah, the song will be one of the four new songs on the soundtrack.

Can't wait!!!

I doubt they're going to mention the infamous 1997 Greensboro Coliseum concert where Nikki used racial slurs and encouraged the crowd to attack a Black security guard.

Their version of Madonna's "Like A Virgin", from the forthcoming The Dirt soundtrack. I don't mind it, actually.

I get it. It's best to pretend the whole ugly incident never happened.

Here's your boy Nikki in his own words (courtesty of MTV):

"We're not going to play any more songs. You know why? Because this security a** hole in the front is punching you motherfuckers, and you deserve better

than that," Sixx yells from the stage in the footage.

"You're a big f***ing black man. You feel pretty good beating up a little girl. F*** you! You know what you motherf***ers? Kick this f***ing guy's ass. Kick this motherf***er's ass. There's more of you than there is of him.

"How's that feel you a** hole, you fucking nigger? Don't call me a f***ing racist man because then you are a f***ing nigger, because nobody treats another human being like that! Suck my d***!"

He's not my boy, nor am I pretending anything. I've seen the clip. Please don't try to assume what I believe or know. You'll fail every time. We've all said the N-word. It doesn't make Nikki a flaming racist. It makes him fucking stupid at the time. He did it for whatever reason that I cannot understand. It's the wrong thing to do at any time. Everyone agrees, even him, that it was wrong. Period.

But we're talking about the movie, not the Crue's lineage of outbursts. It's likely more recent years' events won't be included in the movie, if it follows the timeline of the book in any fashion. So - no, his nasty, racial outburst won't be in the movie.

The book was a very wild read. I don't expect the movie to touch on even half of it. My expectations are very low lol.

wow!... i wasnt aware this happened...i used to be a fan of some of their music...but now?....fuck them, and their future endeavors...

3:24 mark it starts. He was out of line. I know he was probably trying to use the old trope where that word means shiftless or horrible people - but it's 201x. You just don't use it at all. I don't think he's a racist by default or goes around talking like that. It certainly doesn't excuse this incident. He should have sat down and talked to the guy later and apologized. (Maybe he did?)

The security guard should have jumped on stage and beat the shit out of that fake tough guy.

I thought about that, too. White folks love to drop the N-bomb when they think the definition has changed. In my youth, I used the "a" instead of "er" on the end, or "you don't have to be black to be a ni**er" bullshit. Then I grew up and realized how fucking ignorant I was back then. As far as Nikki, I believe he had a stupid moment like that. Everyone deserves a chance for redemption or forgiveness. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
