Slow day in music so let's talk about something unrelated to today...
I could talk about why Mutt Lange is the world's biggest idiot.... OHHHH.... speaking of idiots
that brings us to today's topic
Vince Neil
Vince Neil lead singer of Motley Crue, but more notably the guy who killed his friend in a car crash because he was drunk driving. When we talk about Tommy Lee we think drummer for Crue, sex tape with Pamela Anderson. When we talk about Nikki Six we think douchebag but talented song writter for Crue. When we talk about Mick Mars we think guitarist with a spinal disease who is able to stand on his own two feet and still play. I'm sorry, this band might look like a bunch of rowdy holligans but every single one of these guys is attributable to some level of musicianship or some level of respect... except for Vince Neil.
What a testament this dog leaves, as the man that killed his friend in a car crash due to drunk driving. When you compare him to Mick there are strides of differences. Yes, yes one mistake in life should not define who you are. But my disgust for this animal is not solely based on this horrific event. Vince Neil to this day continues to drink and drive. WTF!!!
I can understand doing it once, I can understand doing it twice, I can even understand doing it until you fucking kill someone; but what I don't understand is why the fuck you do it after killing someone. No ladies and gentlemen, Vince Neil is no person to look up to. He is something to be looked down upon. He is a representation of the scum that exists on this earth.
Motley Crue still holds second place on my list of most hated band ever in my opinion. However, there is still a certain level of respect for Tommy, there is a whole lot of respect for Mick, and I have a tinnie tiny ounce of meh for Nikki. But Vince Neil has no such respect. Does he contribute anything to Motley Crue? Hardly, co-writing two song per album doesn't cut it. Replaceable and dismissable. He is no David Lee Roth, he is no Ozzy Osbourne, he is no Axl Rose.
Forever, his legacy will be not the lead singer of Motley Crue, rather he'll go down as that guy who killed his friend in a car crash while drinking and driving; and continued to do so after murdering his friend.
