Like Mötley
Crüe's band members themselves, their fans have also experienced their
fair share of divorce, death, addiction, love, abuse, and incarceration.
This book is a high-quality "by-the-fans, for-the-fans" collection,
showing the impact and inspiration of Mötley Crüe on their fans' lives.
They tell stories
of how they've looked up to the Crüe as family figures, guiding and
shaping their worlds, while fellow fans have become the cousins, bonded
by the Mötley way of life in their veins. The Crüe is always there for
them as a positive energy to celebrate with, to wallow with, to vent
with, and to be inspired by. For it's the Crüe and their music that
the fans religiously turn to for help to pull them through the ugliest
and toughest of times.
You will laugh
at the things they have done; you'll nod your head in agreement with
their feelings. Because as they say - Crüe fans are best, f@ck the rest!

"Nobody
on the planet has dedicated their life to documenting the entire history
of Mötley Crüe more accurately, thoroughly, and continuously than Paul
Miles. Rather than recount the story of the most reckless musical act
the world has ever seen in the past tense, this book will guide you
through every step of the way as it all unfolded. Pulling no punches
and telling no lies, Paul Miles will reveal facts that have been covered
up, forgotten, or falsified by every previous account. Get ready to
find out the real truth behind the highest highs and lowest lows in
the Crüe's perilous kingdom of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll..." Steve-O, of MTV's Jackass and Wildboyz infamy
"Paul knows
more about us than we know." Tommy Lee
"I've read
it before and gone, we did THAT?" Nikki Sixx
"Chronological
Crue is without a doubt the definitive Mötley Crüe reference work. I
used it extensively in writing the script of The Dirt and I highly
recommend it to not only fans of the band, but anyone with an interest
in the history of rock n' roll. For contained on these sweaty pages
is a treasure trove of sleazy tidbits on not just the band but the slew
of other musicians, critics, groupies, scum sucking corporate-types,
famous wives and infamous playthings who came across their path. If
Mötley played with them, partied with them or shagged them silly, it's
here for all to see. It is a compulsive completist's dream, filled with
the sort of arcane minutia that can settle arguments, win bets, or simply
allow you to sleep after pondering for hours the exact date of Nikki
Sixx's first overdose in the back alleys of Hammersmith. Now hurry up
and buy it so Paul Miles can finally feel as if his life has meaning." Rich
Wilkes, screenwriter of Mötley's movie The
Dirt

For over 18 years, Mötley
Crüe have continued to entertain audiences with their jaw-dropping,
live rock'n'roll shows. Their teenage beginnings saw gigs with chainsaws
eating through mannequins, and a raw energy and sound that ignited the
public. The Crüe turned crowds into fans and were soon tearing up stages
in every corner of the globe, doing what they do best - excess! Over
the top amounts of pyro, lights, sweat and volume provide the inspiration
for destruction and mayhem, both on stage and in the audience. Mötley
have always set new benchmarks in live performance with every dangerous
and spectacular tour production. From disturbing video footage on big
screens to more naked flesh than your local strip club, Mötley Crüe
have survived the test of time by proving rock'n'roll is - "Entertainment
or Death." Paul Miles, fan, Sept '99.
Long overdue and eagerly
awaited by Crüeheads and metal fans alike, ENTERTAINMENT OR DEATH was
the first-ever live Mötley Crüe release. And instead of just pulling
a couple shows from the group's reunion tour, this double-album covers
Mötley Crüe's entire career; it is an audio souvenir of one of the most
exciting live bands ever: Mötley Crüe - Vince Neil (vocals), Mick Mars
(guitar), Nikki Sixx (bass), Tommy Lee (drums).
This is an Enhanced CD,
which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Recorded between 1982 & 1999, the release contains

Fast For Love: A Millennium Tribute to Mötley Crüe by Various
Artists
Released by Versailles Records
Release date: 19/06/07
Double-CD, 25 tracks
Catalog: -
In 1981, four rebels
obsessed with music came together in Hollywood to create Mötley Crüe.
The youth dug their outrageous image and theatrical performances, as
parents and the establishment were appalled. The Crüe’s bona fide “sex,
drugs and rock’n’roll” way-of-life that shot them over the top has certainly
been well documented in recent times. But the trail of destruction left
in the wake of their accomplishments is certainly not their only legacy:
too often overshadowed by drama, their impressive catalogue of songs
now spanning three decades continues to inspire and influence musicians
worldwide. And as the runaway success of the band’s second wind continues
to blow people away, the legacy of Mötley Crüe’s music – from rock anthems
through power ballads – will forever warm hearts and keep fists in the
air. Paul Miles, Nov '06.
This 2-CD tribute from Versailles
Records in New York includes liner notes by Paul Miles and legendary
producer Bob Rock, plus music contributions from former Mötley Crüe
singer John Corabi on Home Sweet Home, Vince Neil's son's group Rock
N' Roll Junkies, Grammy-winning keyboardist Randy Cantor, current and
former members of Lillian Axe, L.A. Guns, Quiet Riot, Brides of Destruction,
Warrant, Ratt, Love/Hate, Cinderella, Dio, Union, Poison, Vince Neil
Band, W.A.S.P., The Scream, Dad's Porno Mag, and Pretty Boy Floyd; as
well as up-and-coming rock acts/musicians Pretty in Stereo, American
Heartbreak, Crash Kelly, Richard Kendrick, One Bad Son, Robot Lords
of Tokyo, Jessie Seely, Chris Catena, Chris Heaven, Reckless Fortune,
