The Legends of Sex, Drugs and Rock N' Roll This movie tells the story of the glam rock band Motley Crue. From its humble beginnings of small venues and clubs to the world tours of sold-out arenas. The story is told primarily by its bass player member Nikki Sixx and ocasionnaly by Tommy Lee, Mick Mars and Vince Neil breaking the 4th wall.
This is by far the most entertaining biopic film of any rock band in recent memory striking a good balance between comedy and drama. It's a wild ride and it's not afraid to show it. It shows a lot of partying, debauchery, drugs and sex, but also ups and downs of each band member fighting his own demons. Noone comes off here unscathed by some battle or own personal tragedy. The band's music is represented well here, showcasing their many hit songs like "Live Wire", "Shout At The Devil", "Kickstart My Heat", "Same Ol' Situation" and "Home Sweet Home". I enjoyed particularly one scene where the band was auditioning Vince Niel and in process discovered their unique sound.
This movie is what Rock Of Ages is not. It takes no holds barred, unappologetic and candid approach to tell the story of perhaps one of the greatest glam rock band in the American rock history.
