From: Donnie To: audities@smoe.org Sent: Fri, 9 May 2008 6:50 pm I know that it's an old biography, but I finally got around to reading Motley Crue "The Dirt". I had no idea they were fans of the Raspberries, Slade, the Sweet, and the Beatles (I knew they had covered "Helter Skelter" but I that that was for the weirdness/violence factor). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> yeah, i read that a few years back, and tho I am NO fan of theirs, Nikki Sixx did play in a band with ex-Mott singer Nigel Benjamin, and if you're like me, and I know at least Bruce Brodeen is one, those last 2 Mott lp's were WAY underated, so I'll give the Crue props for that at least!!!!!!!!! jim
