"Inside/Out Resurrecting Motley Crue"

Of all the hell-raising head bangers to rise out of the 80's, none were bigger, bolder and more dangerous than Motley Crue. Then, in a flurry of flying fists and verbal assaults, rock's most notorious gang disbanded, bitterly vowing they'd never play together again. But now, six years after Motley's violent break-up their management takes on an impossible task: re-uniting the original Crue. With hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, they're betting the bank they can get the boys to bury the hatchet long enough to tour the world. "Inside Out Resurrecting Motley Crue" is an uncensored, unflinching and brutally honest look at a heavy metal miracle in the making.
