So Vince Neil Had LASIK Surgery...
Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at 12:01AM Vince Neil recently had LASIK surgery. I know this because he made a testimonial for LASIK of Nevada and Blabbermouth shared it. Of course, "Looks That Kill" is playing during the testimonial. Now, this only interested me because I also had LASIK surgery. I had my eyes done six years ago and it was the best money I ever spent. Truly life changing. The dry eyes for months after sucks but that's the worst part of the entire ordeal.
Like Vince says, there's no pain but yes, your eyes are open the entire time. Through the power of science, you can actually watch your sight being restored. Truly amazing! So, I chuckled when I saw this on Blabbermouth but thought, heck, might as well share it too. So there you go. Vince Neil and I have something in common: we both had LASIK.

Laparoscopic gastric banding - for weight loss
Anger Management Counseling - for a reoccurring character flaw of his.
Vocal lessons - self explanatory
or, He could have had a personality implanted.
In the end, it's my wife's decision...I just hope that if she goes through with it, it's painless and successful.
On another note, she and her friends are completing a bucket-lister in a few weeks- tandem-jumping out of an airplane. I think she is nuts and have told her so. I then told her, "then I'm going to act like nikki six and shoot up". I got her eye-roll.
I, of course, won't. I have 5 kids to think about and plus, I've have already had 2 strokes (due to my blood-clotting disorder). I think I've experienced near-death enough.
If only Vince had the capacity to listen to your advice. It could potentially add years to his life
p.s. Watch the video if you have the chance. It may be one of the most unintentionally funny infomercials I've ever seen!
He's a hothead for sure. He has been less than stellar vocally for awhile certainly. He has anger issues and addiction problems too. Certainly applies to a lot of stars albeit movie, rock or whatever.
Just seems like there is a lot of bile spit his way for so many people to have attended his concerts an/or purchased his albums.
Just get tired of that being something people bring up. The rockers we all love are in their 50's (or older) and thats just the way life goes unless you are genetically gifted like Dee Snider or Bret Michaels.
I mean its not like it applies to the rest of these guys bands. Even the KISS guys (Gene and Paul) are showing weight gain lately. Its not like these guys are all still wearing spandex.
Ace's comments made me laugh. Nice job.
THANK YOU! I'm just here to amuse... you guys & my self. Please tip your waitresses, they work for a livin'... :)

I just had this vision of Neil, eagle-eyed, starring across the hordes of people at the buffet line, zooming in on that . . . one . . . perfect . . . fried . . . shrimp.
I get your point though, JAT. He comes in for some pretty harsh jabs (I am guilty here too, obviously). But he is a public figure who lives his life without seeming concern for who sees what he does when he does it. And, for that, he has to take some lumps. He is also a brand, and that carries with it an added dose of scrutiny. When you are out there hustling--strip clubs (closed), restaurants (should be closed), tattoo parlors (closed), booze (shouldn't cost so much)--you best hustle with your best foot forward, and not with it in your mouth. And I think he is a poster boy for the perception that celebs (even B- and C-listers) can get off light on crimes that would otherwise get you and me into a whole heck of a lot of trouble.
It is sad, too, that the death of his child--his damn child!--takes a back seat to some of these things, even if that can partially--and I say partially--explain some of his behavior. But does it sweep that behavior away? Nope. Just like having been in one of the greatest bands in the world doesn't, or shouldn't, give you a free pass to act like a drunk jerk with control issues.
Do I have more paunch now then back in the day? Yup. I ain't Bkallday. Less hair? Yup. Have I done stuff that makes me cringe now? Sure. Thing is, I am not a public figure. I didn't sign up for the spotlight. Neil did. And that glare can blind you to who you are and shield you from what you have become. I don't see any contradiction in loving the Crue and cringing at Neil. But I will give you at least one implication of your posts: you are feeding the beast when you support them. That's the bind of being a fan who votes with their wallet for some artists who think with their . . . well, you get my point.
I was empathizing with Neil there. Notice the way I set off the pain of losing a child by way of the dashes. And I was also acknowledging that that type of loss has some (not all) bearing on his behavior.
I rarely, if ever, "snap" to judgment as a consequence of the media (again, re-read my posts). But I do deal in my perceptions. As do you. I have nothing to steer clear of as re: what I wrote. So the warning misses its mark even if I think you are speaking from a place of pain.
And I sense, given the haste with which you advise me to act upon your reaction, that I hit a nerve that I never struck. So I will leave this be. All I ask is this: don't accuse me of acting in a way in which I did not. And, further, take me at my word: if I ever write in haste, or make a quick joke at the sake of real human pain, I will retract it and apologize quicker than most.
But, in this case, I didn't. I mocked Neil for his real failures . . . as a rock star, as a public figure, as a person. But I NEVER made his child's death an issue in my post, even if I acknowledged it as a factor in his behavior.
Be well, Kixchix. I hope we are square.
Bkallday, why do you hurt me like this?!!? One minute we find a point of agreement; another we are off the rails again.
Ace has a wealth of information to impart re: the music we love on this site. He knows a lot of the people that made it to the top of the heap, as well as some who never quite got there and some who never were going to get there. And I think your play at taking him to task backfires (and you have tried it several times): Ace has never claimed to have made it. Point in fact, he is pretty candid about his career, his band, and his life . . . if you bother to ask or listen. That doesn't take anything away from what he contributes.
Do I agree with everything Ace says? Of course not. I still remember a time, early in my tenure on this fair site, when I was being a smart-ass about all of his "stories." Thing is, he took me to task and proved it. In the process, he has proven to be very reliable when it comes to the back-stories of some of the people we talk about here. Ace's contributions are a net-positive for a site like this. We are lucky to have him here. If you can't see that, that's on you. And I'd tell you to trust me. But I don't think that will pass muster with you. So be it.
