After the most notorious rock 'n' roll band in the world kept talking about it for about 15 years, the Mötley Crüe's autobiographical film "The Dirt" is finally going to hit screens the world over. Just like the book that it drew inspiration from, the film is a powerful retelling of what it was like to be in a band this crazy at the peak of their fame. According to the band's bassist and co-founder, Nikki Sixx, the film doesn't "pull any punches".

The film is set to release on March 22 on Netflix and is based on the band's autobiography "The Dirt: Confessions Of The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band". The book had in-depth accounts directly from the band members themselves about how the band formed and everything else that went with being a band of this scale - both good and bad.
