SAME OL’ SITUATION: VINCE NEIL STILL DOESN’T KNOW THE WORDS TO HIS OWN SONGS

Thanks to Glam Mistress Allyson we were able to live vicariously even though we didn’t attend this past weekend’s Rocklahoma hair-athon. Her excellent reporting from the road made us wish we’d made the 2000 mile trek to the Panhandle, but alas we’ll have to wait until next time to see Faster Pussycat and Enuff Z’Nuff. By all accounts the weekend was full of excellent performances, save a typically lackluster — what else is new — performance by Motley Crue singer Vince Neil’s solo band:

The performance was not good by any means. This was the case for many reasons including the delay, audio issues, and Vince only singing every other word to the songs. At one point, Vince said “Hello Montana!” and that about did it for me. I also decided that we needed a bouncy ball with lyrics on the jumbotrons, so everyone could help Vince with the lyrics.

This is par for the course for Vince; it’s really quite humorous. “Audio issues” is a very kind way of putting “backing tapes not working,” and having seen Vince before I can say that “singing every other word” is really giving him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe Vince should work on learning his own lyrics instead of trying to challenge Sammy Hagar’s tequila empire.
