MICHAEL MONROE Is 'Not Interested At All' In Seeing MÖTLEY CRÜE's 'The Dirt' Biopic
Michael Monroe says that he is "not interested at all" in seeing MÖTLEY CRÜE's "The Dirt" biopic.
The former HANOI ROCKS frontman was asked to comment on the film in light of the fact that CRÜE frontman Vince Neil caused the tragic car accident in 1984 that killed his passenger, HANOI ROCKS drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley.
Asked by "The Classic Metal Show" if he has seen "The Dirt", Michael replied (hear audio below): "I haven't seen the movie. I'm not interested at all. I haven't read the book [that the movie is based on]. In general, I've never been interested in that band, musically or in any way. It's really not my thing. I haven't seen the movie and I have no intention of seeing it. I'm not interested."
Monroe went on to say that the accident "certainly destroyed a lot of people's lives. I've never blamed anybody — you can't blame anybody for an accident — but a lot of people's lives were shattered, "he said. "As well as the two teenagers who got paralyzed in the accident; I've heard that there was no mention of them either [in the film].
"It's a depressing subject and it's always like opening a can of worms," Michael continued. "And I just don't wanna get into all that. It's just useless.
"But, yeah, my comment is no comment, really. [Laughs]"
Back in 2004, Monroe slammed MÖTLEY CRÜE for the band's decision to title a box set "Music To Crash Your Car To", calling the move beyond disrespectful and referring to the group's bassist Nikki Sixx as "shallow," "ignorant" and "stupid". "The 'Mostly Crude' gotta be as dumb as they are to have done that," he told Metal Sludge. "I'm not only talking about Razzle, but also for the other families involved in the accident... As we've previously stated: The most tasteless and murderous gimmick to cash in on the past we've ever heard of. There's nothing 'cool' or 'funny' about death or winding up a paraplegic for life. How low can you go? I'd say this gave bad taste a bad name."
Three years later, Monroe publicly apologized to Sixx, saying that his "unflattering comments" about the bassist were "really childish and stupid." He explained: "I just took it a bit personally when they called their album at the time 'Music to Crash Your Car To'. I thought it was inappropriate since it came across as if they were making fun of the accident, which I'm sure was not their intention."
Neil's drunk-driving death car crash happened back in December 1984 when he smashed his car into another vehicle in Redondo Beach, California, killing Razzle and seriously injuring two other occupants.
Vince was charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol. His blood alcohol level was 0.17, which was over the legal limit.
Neil served half of a 30-day jail sentence, received five years probation and had to pay $2.6 million in restitution, as well as perform 200 hours of community service.
In 2011, Monroe gave Sleaze Roxx his take on what happened that night: "There was an accident, and unfortunately our drummer was killed. As far as Vince Neil, I have nothing to say. It was an accident. What happened happened, and it can't be changed. Everybody suffered from the whole thing."

Фильм отличный-особенно как Оззи нюхал муравьёв вместо кокса и слизывал свою и не свою мочу- и это всё было. Как они трахали всё,что движется-фильм так ещё-лайтовый-не чернушный...А Монро-ну повезло,что не было в той машине-или не повезло...
Не знаю, мне вообще не понравился. На мой взгляд атмосферу угара вообще не передали. Как аудио книга с отцензуренными картинками. Да и со стилистикой вообще не попали. Рад за тех кому понравилось, я разочарован. Скотт пиллигрим даже угарней вышел чем эта чистая исскуственная грязь.
Да большая часть (всё?) полнометражек от Netflix говно на тяп-ляп. У них отличные сериалы и документалки, а нетфликсовский полный метр отстой для галочки, в основном. "Грязь" тоже, но несколько хороших момегтов там есть.
Монро не было на той тусе, тк он лежал со сломанной лодыжкой. В целом, он и Ханои действительно далеки от хэви-метала и из всей той сцены 80-х признают только ГнР. Но всё равно, имхо, сквозит в его словах обидка на мотлей, несмотря на то, что они открыто высказывали неприязнь только к Винсу. Гитарист Энди Маккой говорил, что из мотли перед ними извинились все, кроме Нила, да и на эмоциях те, вообще, хотели разойтись поначалу. Впрочем, самого Винса жизнь уже наказала - он потерял дочь, да и невозможно представить, как он носит в себе груз человекоубийства, несмотря на его внешний образ раздолбая и гуляки.
Фильм, кстати, слабенький, но подозреваю, что ранее незнакомых с группой людей он может впечатлить.
