Vince Neil Performs Again After Long Pandemic Break -- It Was Rough
Wednesday, June 2, 2021 at 12:01AM
Motley frontman Vince Neil is back on his solo circuit, playing festivals to rock fans. Vince and his band played their first live show in months and months over the weekend and it was pretty rough. Look, these days Vince is not known for being a great live vocalist. We know he skips words. Videos from the performance on May 29 at the Iowa Boone River Festival show something beyond missed and confused vocals.
Vince performed a regular set of Motley classics like "Home Sweet Home," "Looks That Kill" and "Dr. Feelgood." When it was time for the finale and "Girls, Girls, Girls," Vince gave up early saying his voice was "gone." He walked off stage and that was it. The entire set is below. So is a video of the clip where Vince calls it a night.
Look, musicians are going to be rusty their first shows out after a year-plus break from the pandemic. People need to expect that and be prepared for it. Still, I do hope Vince does work with a vocal coach at some point before next summer's tour - there sure are a lot of dates to get through and the tickets are not cheap.
