About Paul Miles
Australian Paul Miles is the long-time historian of the world’s most infamous rock band, Motley Crue, having continuously documented their history for his Chronological Crue website over decades. After contributing to their best-selling autobiography, “The Dirt”, he penned five paperbacks on Motley and wrote the liner notes in their double live CD. This led to his next book “Sex Tips from Rock Stars” being published worldwide by Omnibus Press in 2010, with multiple foreign language editions published. “Before I Hit the Stage” is his rock’n’roll photography book of 2013 backstage moments in New York City. He created the world’s first crossword puzzle book themed on a musical artist during the pandemic. 2022 sees the worldwide release of his first autobiography: John Corabi’s “Horseshoes and Hand Grenades.” More at Paul-Miles.com.

“Chronological Crue is without a doubt the definitive Mötley Crüe reference work. I used it extensively in writing the script of The Dirt and I highly recommend it to not only fans of the band, but anyone with an interest in the history of rock n’ roll. For contained on these sweaty pages is a treasure trove of sleazy tidbits on not just the band but the slew of other musicians, critics, groupies, scum sucking corporate-types, famous wives and infamous playthings who came across their path. If Mötley played with them, partied with them or shagged them silly, it’s here for all to see. It is a compulsive completist’s dream, filled with the sort of arcane minutia that can settle arguments, win bets, or simply allow you to sleep after pondering for hours the exact date of Nikki Sixx’s first overdose in the back alleys of Hammersmith. Now hurry up and buy it so Paul Miles can finally feel as if his life has meaning.”

Es wird kein Thema ausgelassen und die Stars packen freimütig aus: gewagte Orte für ein heißes Abenteuer, Fetische und Fantasien, Groupies, One-Night-Stands und Sexspielzeuge, aber auch Dates, Küssen, Romantik und Ehe. In 25 Kapiteln hat der Autor die Antworten der Rockstars auf die Fragen zu all diesen Themen zusammengestellt. Das Ergebnis ist spritzig, witzig und unterhaltsam - ein Kaleidoskop von Anekdoten, Erfahrungen und Tipps. Das Buch bietet außerdem einen unzensierten Blick auf das Sexleben vieler großartiger Rockstars.
Das Leben von Rockstars lässt sich kurz und knapp zusammenfassen: Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll. Besonders um den Sex werden sie von vielen beneidet. Denn sie haben überall auf der Welt Sex, und zwar mit den tollsten Frauen oder Männern und an den außergewöhnlichsten Orten.
Wenn Rockstars auf der Bühne stehen, begeistern sie ihre Fans, machen sie glücklich, euphorisieren sie geradezu. Ruhm und Starappeal können so anziehend wirken, dass aus ausgeglichenen, normalen Menschen wildgewordene, liebestolle Verrückte werden, die nur eins im Sinn haben - den Rockern die Kleider vom Leib zu reißen. Und deshalb wünscht sich jeder Normalsterbliche manchmal, er wäre eines von diesen Objekten der Begierde und müsste nur mit dem Finger schnippen - doch was ist deren Erfolgsgeheimnis?
Was ist dran an dem Klischee, dass Rockstars jede Menge Sex haben und unwiderstehlich sind? Ein Körnchen Wahrheit steckt ganz sicher drin. Und jeder würde sich doch gern ein paar Tipps von diesen Rockern geben lassen.
In Paul Miles' Buch packen Rockstars
wie Lemmy (Motörhead), Courtney Taylor-Taylor (The Dandy Warhols) oder Rob Patterson (Korn) aus und erzählen von ihren Erfahrungen mit dem anderen Geschlecht. Offen und ehrlich berichten sie von ihren verrückten Abenteuern und geben dem Leser Tipps für alle möglichen und unmöglichen Situationen. Ein amüsantes Lesevergnügen für alle Rockfans und Groupies.
WIE ARRANGIERT MAN AM BESTEN EINEN FLOTTEN DREIER?
Acey Slade: Leider ist meistens Alkohol im Spiel. Man muss einfach allein mit zwei Mädchen und einer Flasche Jack Daniels sein -
wenn eine der beiden dann nicht kapiert, was los ist, ist sie ziemlich dumm.
Courtney Taylor-Taylor: Keine gute Idee. Irgendjemand verletzt man dabei immer.
Danko Jones: Man muss ein Mädchen finden, das so was mag. Es hat keinen Zweck, eine Frau, die nicht auf so was steht, dazu bringen zu wollen. Das kann die Beziehung ruinieren. Und das ist es nicht wert. Na ja, kommt drauf an: Wenn dir die Beziehung nichts bedeutet, dann versuch's unbedingt.
Ginger: Lass deine Frau das Mädchen aussuchen. Du willst ja, dass sie sich noch einmal darauf einlässt, also kümmere dich mehr um sie, egal wie scharf du auf ihre Freundin bist.
Jesse Hughes: Mit Mathelehrerinnen.
Lemmy: Meistens schlägt die Frau einen Dreier vor. Es kommt nicht so gut an, wenn Männer so was vorschlagen, weil die Bräute dann beleidigt sind.
