Rocktopia: Vince Neil - 'Tattoos & Tequila' - CD Review

When people bring up the subject of 80s US vocalists with limited ability the two most commonly mentioned are Ratt's Stephen Pearcy and Vince Neil, and while I like Pearcy I can also understand why some don't, but I've always thought that Vince Neil gets a raw deal, and this album proves it. Of the twelve tracks on offer only two are new songs, but please don't let that put you off as Vince does a great job on a varied cross section of cover songs. With a band that features Slaughter members Jeff Blando on guitar and Dana Strum on bass, as well as newcomer Zoltan Chaney, and guests including Anthony Focx from Beautiful Creatures and Night Ranger’s Jack Blades and Brad Gillis, Vince and co. tear through crunching versions of Cheap Trick's 'He's A Whore' and The Sweet's 'AC/DC' like they were written especially for him. http://ping.fm/r7bJM
