Studio: Hip-O Records
Product Type: DVD

Who better than L.A.'s tattooed bad boys Motley Crue to represent the sordid but compelling brew of sex, drugs, and debauchery that personifies VH-1's Behind the Music? In a tale told (in 2000) through interviews, film clips, and, of course, really loud music, the four Cruemen (Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, and Mick Mars, who nowadays looks like a denizen of the planet he's named after) travel the familiar road from runaway success to a drug-and-alcohol-fueled crash and burn, only to come back sober and strong, ready to tell the world just how f***ed up (the show's censored, too) it all was. Only this time it's even juicier, what with Neil's vehicular manslaughter conviction and Lee's many merry misadventures with Pamela Anderson. Throw in a music video (for "Enslaved") and some other minor extras, and you've got a guilty pleasure that virtually parodies itself. --Sam Graham

Awesome.......2007-03-13

I think this was an excellent video. You learn so much about them individually & as a band. Motley Crue is my favorite band and anything I can watch on them I love.

Whatta Bunch of A******s!!!!!.......2007-01-20

Really revolting. The show goes on and on about their excesses, casually sidestepping the fact that their actual songs are awful.

They try to pass off their obnoxious behavior as rebellious, when in actuallity its pathetic. Doing stupid stunts against the "establishment" is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. Ask Madonna.

My favorite is Nikki Sixx, who is quite fond of referring to himself in the third person. If he ever drops dead again, I hope he gets it right this time. ;)

the REAL DEAL.......2006-05-30

The only band i respect as much as Motley is Pantera. For different reasons. These guys pretty much are everything id never want to be and i love them for it. Total chaos! They reinvented american excess. Everyone else just followed. MOTLEY is ROCK n ROLL.

A must have DVD for all Motley Crue fans.......2006-02-18

Over the years,with Motley Crue being one of America's most succesful and influential rock bands,as well as being so infamous,it has been great to learn more about The Crue--and VH1's "Behind The Music" special on Motley Crue proves just that.

The documentary that is on this DVD is not perfect,and it is a little slow at times,but other than that,it is really good. You get to learn a little bit about Nikki Sixx,Tommy Lee,Mick Mars,and Vince Neil as individuals and see really good pictures of Sixx,Lee,Mars,and Neil from when they were young and before they were in Motley Crue(there is also really good video footage of both Nikki and Tommy from when both Nikki and Tommy were young)and all of Motley Crue's career from when Motley started out up until the late 90's (which is when this documentary was made)is covered here. You get to learn about pretty much everything that Motley Crue band members did that proved to be controversial here,and while I shouldn't give away everything and let you see this DVD for yourself,all of the footage of Motley Crue from most of Motley's career that is here,as well as the really good,entertaining,and in-depth interviews with Nikki Sixx,Tommy Lee,Mick Mars,and Vince Neil--make this one of the best Motley Crue DVDS you will find anywhere.

Don't forget to purchase this DVD,and let me add that "The Dirt",the autobiography of Motley Crue,is worth purchasing with this DVD right at the same time(yes,you can find "The Dirt" right here off of Amazon as well).

Very good documentary.......2005-07-20
