The Michigan City News Dispatch recently caught up with vocalist Vince Neil to discuss life after Mötley Crüe, which began when the band ended their career on December 31st, 2015 with a final farewell show in Los Angeles. Following is an excerpt from the story, with Neil talking about his solo career.

"It's really energetic," Neil says. "My band is the guys from Slaughter and we've done this together for almost nine years. I'm playing some of my own stuff, all the Mötley hits and some great surprises. It's like a no-holds-barred fun show."

Following his first exit with Mötley Crüe in 1992, Neil began his solo career releasing Exposed in 1993, which reached No. 13 on the US Billboard 200 chart anchored by the songs "You're Invited (But Your Friend Can't Come)" and "Sister Of Pain". His second solo album, Carved in Stone, followed two years later, and Neil rejoined Mötley Crüe in 1996. Neil's third and latest solo album, Tattoos & Tequila, released in 2010 includes two originals – the title track and "Another Bad Day" – along with covers such as Aerosmith's "Nobody's Fault", Sex Pistols' "No Feelings" and Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas".

"Look, I'm going to always be the guy who was in Mötley Crüe, but my first solo record with 'You're Invited (But Your Friend Can't Come)' was over a million seller, so a lot of people enjoyed it and 'Sister Of Pain' and many of those songs," Neil says. "I'm looking forward to recording more stuff, but I'm really a road singer. I love giving cool, fun performances with a big look."
