Vince Neil- The Legendary Voice of Motely Crue

Description

nternational superstar, accomplished businessman and heartfelt philanthropist, Vince Neil came
to exemplify all things rock and roll: the sound, the success, the look and the outrageous lifestyle.
Vince’s unmistakable voice leads some of the greatest rock songs of this generation including
“Shout At The Devil,” “Home Sweet Home,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Dr. Feelgood,” “Kickstart My
Heart,” “Same Ol Situation,” and the recent “Saints of Los Angeles,” which was nominated for a
Grammy Award in 2009 for Best Hard Rock Performance. With fifteen years between his last
solo album, Vince Neil releases Tattoos & Tequila on June 22, followed by his tell all book of the
same name later in the fall.
When not performing, Vince Neil continues to expand and oversee his latest entrepreneurial
efforts which include Feelgoods Rock Bar and Grill in West Palm Beach and Las Vegas; Vince
Neil Ink, a Las Vegas based tattoo parlor and apparel shop with two locations -- one on the Las
Vegas strip and one in the Rio Hotel & Casino; Tres Rios tequila, a high quality, authentic
Mexican tequila created from the finest Agave in Guadalajara Mexico; The Skylar Neil Memorial
Foundation (www.skylarneil.org), a tribute to Vince’s daughter whom he lost to cancer in 1995
which has raised over $2 million to help combat childhood cancer and his latest venture, Vince
Neil Aviation, a luxury air charter service providing the the rock n’ roll commute on either his Lear
35 or Hawker 700 jets.
Raised on the tough streets of Compton, California, Vince Neil fell in love with music as a child,
developing a broad vocabulary that ranged from classic Motown to hard rock. As a teenager, he
began performing with local bands and soon discovered both a passion for the stage and a
natural talent as a singer and performer. He fronted the popular band Rock Candy before
reuniting with high school buddy Tommy Lee in 1981, sealing rock and roll history with the
formation of Motley Crue.
In addition to selling 80 million records around the world as the badass frontman for Motley Crue,
Vince Neil also began his career as a solo artist in 1993. Vince’s Top 200 Billboard albums,
Exposed (which reached number 13 on The Billboard 200 albums chart) and Carved In Stone
have spurred the hits “You’re Invited (But Your Friend Can’t Come)” (co-written by Vince with
Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw), “Can’t Have Your Cake” (co-written by Vince with Steve
Stevens) and “Sister Of Pain” (co-written by Vince with Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw).
The International rock icon’s new album Tattoos & Tequila, co-produced by Vince Neil, Jack
Blades (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper) and Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Def
Leppard, Buckcherry) is a compilation of genre defining hits that have been given the Vince Neil
rock renewal treatment and is sure to be an updated rock lifestyle staple. Neil’s refreshed
collection of classics consists of nine hand-picked, influential covers, as well as two new tracks;
“Tattoos & Tequila,” which was also written and produced by Frederiksen and “Another Bad Day,”
which was originally written by Nikki Sixx for Motley Crue’s release of New Tattoo in 2000 and
just missed the cut. “Motley Crue recorded ‘Another Bad Day’ many years ago and I thought it
was one of the best ballads we’d ever done. When it got voted off of New Tattoo by the rest of
Motley, I held onto it waiting for the right time to dust it off,” adds Vince. The title song for the
album captures Vince’s signature sound with a contemporary feel that has been compared to
current acts such as Cavo and Godsmack. “Tattoos & Tequila” celebrates the rock n’ roll lifestyle.
