VINCE NEIL, EXPOSED ONCE AGAIN
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 at 10:30am by Vince NeilsteinI know exactly two people who will be really really excited that Vince Neil is working on a new solo album: me and Axl. Woot woot!
Some time in 1993 Axl dubbed me a tape; on one side was Living Colour’s Stain, and on the other side Vince Neil’s first solo record Exposed. My life was changed forever. While my namesake hasn’t managed to hold onto much any credibility in the years since, Exposed still holds up thanks in no small part to the guitar wizardry of the indomitable Steve “Jew from the Bronx changed my name to be a rockstar” Stevens.
While I’m not sure who’s even in Neil’s solo band at the moment (Keri Kelli?) I’m certain it isn’t Stevens, making this record circumspect from the getgo. Not that there aren’t other good guitar players out there but let’s face it, Neil’s a complete hack who definitely needs song written for him ala Ozzy, nahmean? So let’s (as in me and Axl) just agree to be cautiously optimistic about this one.
Here’s Neil w/ Stevens performing “Look In Her Eyes” in Chicago in 1993.

Vince Neil sings like Stevie from Malcolm In The Middle.
Vince is a talentless hack. Stevens on the OTOH is amazing.
i loved that tape when it came out.one of the songs was in Encino Man and sister of pain had a cool video
you guys are great at making me feel old…not only have I seen a bunch of the metal shows/tours that people would travel back in time to see…you guys were still listening to hairbands in 1993!!!!…..wtf, I hope you guys were too young to know any better.
Exposed was a a good cd & still feel the Motley/Motley record with John Corabi on Vocals is still the best Crue record (yeah i know ill hear the shit for that) But i have NO faith in a new Vince solo record! I mean Carved in Stone was HORRIBLE!
