![]() ![]() When Tommy's bizarrely normal parents (played by Joe Chrest and Elena Evangelo) show up at one of the band's concerts, the drummer excitedly introduces them to Roxy (Jordan Lane Price), his new fiancée. ![]() TOMMY INTRODUCES HIS PARENTS TO HIS GROUPIE FIANCÉE The Crüe are seriously grossed out by the performance - and by Ozzy's insistence on lapping up a puddle of Nikki's urine, as well.ħ. First, Ozzy snorts up an entire line of red ants off the pool deck then, after relieving himself in front of the other motel patrons, he drops to his knees to slurp at the puddle of his own piss. and then proceeds to show them how it's really done. tour opening for Ozzy Osbourne (played with an appropriately hunching stagger by Tony Cavalero), the boys get a stern poolside lecture from the former Black Sabbath frontman, who counsels them about the dangers of rock & roll excess. Hey, it's still gotta be more fun than hanging out with the Van Halen brothers. The mirror shatters into a dozen pieces, but DLR is simply too cool - and too busy hoovering up the pile of cocaine in front of him - to register a complaint. A MIRROR SHATTERS ON DAVID LEE ROTH'S HEAD WHILE HE'S DOING BLOWĭuring a party at the Crüe's pad, a drunken reveler accidentally knocks a mirror off the wall and onto the head of guest of honor David Lee Roth (Christian Gehring). By the time the bouncers finally restore peace to the dance floor, people are chanting "Mötley Crüe!," and - apparently delighted at getting a bonus brawl to go with their rock show - the previously lukewarm audience is now firmly on the band's side.ĥ. His bandmates follow him into battle, and the whole club briefly goes up for grabs. ![]() ![]() The Crüe's first-ever club appearance gets off to an extremely inauspicious start: Before the band can even finish playing their opening number, some drunken mook hocks a loogie onto Vince's prized leather pants, and the singer responds to the gentleman's insult by leaving the stage to beat the living shit out of him. THE BAND'S DEBUT SHOW TURNS INTO A FULL-SCALE BRAWL Within the opening five seconds of "Live Wire," Vince's girlfriend Lovey (Katherine Neff) is vehemently objecting to the band's sound, telling Vince that "this music's way too heavy, baby!" But after they play on for another minute, she's suddenly overcome by their sheer brilliance. The most insanely ham-fisted example of this is the scene where Vince (played by Daniel Webber) jams with Tommy, Nikki (Douglas Booth) and Mick ( Game of Thrones' Iwan Rheon) for the first time. Though it's way more historically/chronologically accurate than Bohemian Rhapsody, The Dirt takes the similar approaching of condensing and simplifying events in order to speed up the story. VINCE'S GIRLFRIEND INSTANTLY RECOGNIZES THE BAND'S GREATNESS The scene clarifies Nikki's adult issues with women, while the blood streaming down his arm foreshadows his gory heroin overdoses to come.ģ. Video of The Dirt | Official Trailer | Netflixįed up with the never-ending verbal abuse he has to endure from his alcoholic mom and her parade of loser boyfriends, the adolescent Nikki Sixx (played by Vince Mattis) carves up his left forearm with a knife, then calls the police and tells them that she stabbed him. They may have been new together, but they were by no means wet behind the ears. Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee were both known on the scene thanks to their previous bands, Vince Neil's ability to take over the stage was pretty much his entire thing, and Mick Mars was a veteran of umpteen bands. The more you think about it, the less sense the movie's depiction makes. According to LA Weekly, their real first concert at the Starwood Club was a much-hyped, successful gig opening for an established hard rock band called Y&T, in a packed venue with a 600-strong audience. This is enough to win the audience over, and Crue's reputation is as good as made. One meathead spits on Vince Neil's beloved leather pants, which causes a huge fight between band members and the crowd. The movie depicts their first gig as a clumsy affair where they initially nearly freeze onstage despite only performing to a handful of meatheads. Every great band has to start somewhere, and as The Dirt shows us, Motley Crue was no exception. ![]()
