...strangely, for a singer, he is the weak link in the band.

All the others are pretty competant musicians...Vince on the other hand!!!!
You know you have problems when your bassist (OK, he does write the songs!!!) has to actually show & teach the singer the melody and phrasing of the lyrics!!!

Man, I used to love reading all those interviews when they just slagged each other off...!!!
"Vince just can't sing and has the biggest ego!"..."Nikki's a control freak!"...blah blah blah!!!!!

I still think that Mick is clinically dead and they've just wired his corpse up to move like he's playing a guitar.

I sat front row right in front of Mick a couple years ago on the Aerosmith tour, and the guy loves what he does. You can see it in his face. He has a disease that doesn't allow him to move his upper body much at all, but you can tell he wants to so bad. I was always a fan of Mick's, but after seeing him so up close, I have more of a spot in my heart for the guy. He is just a solid rock guitar player who loves what he does.

Yeah. I'm being a bit cruel I guess. He's an integral aprt of the Crue sound, a decent guitar player and should be applauded for the way he handles himself despite having such a harsh and disabilitating disease.

Problem is all the hard core fans simply don't support w/o Vince.

Totally agree, Question is though do you want to hear the songs being sung or breathlessy mumbled...

Yeah Mark, I have more respect for Mick now, i didn't know he had that medical problem until a few months ago!!

Who's that handsome devil on the right???

Ah, the Vince issue.....it's a shame, really. He seems to have the attitude "I'm Vince Neil....that's all I have to do is be Vince Neil." If he would make the effort it would be awesome! Instead he only sings like half the lyrics when they play live. It's frustrating! He knows how to work a stage, but it almost seems like he'd rather ONLY work the stage and forget singing at all!

Has Vince been spending time with Don Dokken?

I totally respect Nikki & Tommy's energy on stage & Vince to be fair!... it's what the crowd wanna see!

I can't stand paying money to see a live act & they just stand there like their bored! ..You might as well stay at home & put their Cd on!! ...I wanna be worked up too..

Corabi deserves to be in a " big " band and not (dare I say it) waste his time in Union and E.S.P.

Well he's been in Crue & Ratt. Two of the biggest 80's bands ever and The Scream were cool until he joined Crue...

Nothing long term there though. Or is he happy,like Eric Singer, being a jouneyman musician
going from one band to the next and never really finding a home ?
