MÖTLEY CRÜE Singer VINCE NEIL - “I Want To Be Someone Who Shows Appreciation For All Our Fans”

In a new interview with Greeley Tribune, Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil discusses how fans coming to his solo shows are probably not there to hear something from his 2010 album Tattoos And Tequila, or his more successful stuff from the early ’90s.

“I could play a lot of my solo stuff, and I’d get a lot of people in the crowd saying ‘Why is he doing that for?’” Neil said in a phone interview. “They’d be saying ‘Play (swear word) “Dr. Feelgood” you (swear word).”

Neil is not above ego tripping and focusing on his own career. Mötley Crüe helped invent hair metal, a genre not known for its subtlety.

“But I don’t want to be that guy,” Neil said. “I want to be someone who shows appreciation for all our fans. Those people have all the love for the Crüe stuff, and I was the guy singing those songs. That gave me a great life for 30 years.”

Cineplex Events, Live Alliance, Eagle Rock Entertainment and Tenth Street Entertainment will give music lovers a chance to see the final concert from legendary rock artists, Mötley Crüe, in a one-night only event on July 11th, when they premiere Mötley Crüe: The End in key theatres across Canada.

On December 31, 2015, legendary rock icons Mötley Crüe completed their 35-year touring career as a band with a spectacular final concert at Staples Center in their hometown of Los Angeles, CA, just 10 miles from the Sunset Strip where the band’s infamous and decadent career first launched. The band thrilled the sold-out arena with performances of such mega-hits as “Kickstart My Heart,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Home Sweet Home” and “Dr. Feelgood.” While not everyone was able to see their Final Show live, Crüe fans can now catch all the action on the big screen. In addition to the epic concert footage, cinema audiences will be treated to behind-the-scenes footage of the band’s last show ever.

In January, 2014, Mötley Crüe held a press conference announcing their Final Tour, complete with a “cessation of touring” agreement signed by all members prohibiting any and all future live engagements under the Mötley Crüe name. Mötley Crüe’s two-year concert trek, saw the band - Vince Neil (vocals), Mick Mars (guitars), Nikki Sixx (bass) and Tommy Lee (drums) - perform across five continents (North America, South America, Europe, Australia and Asia) for a total of more than 164 shows in 72 markets grossing over $100 million. Known for their over-the-top production, Mötley Crüe did not disappoint for their last show ever on New Year’s Eve: from massive, cutting-edge pyro, including Nikki Sixx’s bass guitar spitting fire over 30 ft. into the air, and Tommy Lee’s “Crüecifly” drum roller coaster, amongst many other spectacular elements.

Lead singer, Vince Neil, delivered an emotional, “thank you” speech to the audience, while the band supplied next-level, high-octane fueled energy, ringing in the New Year on stage with thousands of balloons raining down on the crowd. The grand finale of the show included a blow-out performance of their hit single, “Kickstart My Heart” with Nikki Sixx and Vince Neil floating above the audience in far-reaching “cherry-pickers.” Leaving fans in tears, the show concluded with an emotional encore rendition of “Home Sweet Home” from the second stage riser in the center of the audience.
