* DracoInLeatherPants: The real-life Motley Crue got away with a lot of questionable behavior in the eyes of their fans due to their good looks and bad boy attitudes. Art imitated life with the release of the film, which saw a huge fandom ignite due to the attractive leads, leading to plenty of adaptation-based fanart and fanfic that tends to depict the members as wild, hopeless romantics while downplaying the vulgar debauchery and abuse seen in the film. (Not to be outdone, even the real-life members saw a revival in popularity after the film's release, with the band's Tumblr tags exploding in popularity with throwback gifs and videos)

* HoYay: Tommy ditches his girlfriend to gush over Nikki to his face when they first meet, and Nikki's irritation towards Heather often reads like bromantic jealousy. They end up as the closest bandmates, and Tommy is the first member Nikki reunites with when trying to get the band back together. The dynamic is fairly accurate to real life, considering Tommy jokes in the memoir that he loves Nikki, and they've "practically been married for twenty years."

* ADayInTheLimelight: Mick is an odd example since he gets the least amount of focus in the movie which is fitting since he’s long been known as the quiet one in the group. However during the band’s biggest days there were persistent rumors that the band was planning to replace him. The movie makes it very clear that he was the true leader of the band and that the other, younger, guys all look up to him and that likewise he always has their backs. In real life he was with the band uninterrupted from 1981-2022 when he retired at the age of 71 due to his notable health reasons finally catching up to him.

Despite this, many reviewers comment on how gross and despicable their behavior is (particularly toward women). While the movie comments on the band's drug use, it seems to revel in their womanizing, cheating, and dismissal attitude in general to the female gender.
