KILL KILL VINCE NEIL!!!

whothefuck [Edit] [Delete] 15 replies 23:20, 22 May '05
Extract from my Live Journals.
I wonder if anyone else had any thoughts on the subject?

-------------------------

Alas, as we all know, this whole 80s metal cheesy rock bullshit is back. As if the revival itself wasn't bad enough, now we gotta face the return of Motley Crue, the ultimate pompous, druggy, macho assholes, Kings of Cheesy Metal bullshit.. Of course, one of those bands I always tried to avoid, because soulless polished corporate crap disguised as "rock" is not my thing.

But, upon reading the NME this week (yeah, I read it sometimes) i was DISGUSTED to find out that Vince Neil fucking KILLED a person and left others brain-damaged, in a car crash caused because he was driving under the influence of alcohol.

Being a "rock star" is not an excuse to kill people is it? What a fucking stupid asshole. How can anyone for a second think he and his band are cool? Spare a few moments to listen to his crap? And now, you get something like NME and they write shit about oh, Motley Crue are back, aren't they wild etc etc, and yeah, they killed someone, but nevermind, etc etc. As if its something trivial. I find it deeply offensive. I find it offensive that they are allowed to exist, that vince Neil only got 30 days in jail, that people waste their time raving about them or listening to them or going to their gigs.

I mean, i had to get up and write this straight away, otherwise i wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

I'm sick and tired of this world of bullshit, and in few other places you can find as much bullshit as in the music industry! Fuck irony, 80s hair metal has never been good and will never be, and Motley Crue are not and have never been cool, anyone can see it, unless they are as brainless and stupid as the band themselves.

Its not clever to pass hepatitis-C to your wife, have drug overdoses or Kill people. Its fucking sick, pathetic and repulsive.

I hate people who think they CAN'T criticize "wild" rock bands for fear of sounding boring or whatever. Especially considering that most so-called "wild" bands are little more than pathetic spoiled boys desperate for attention, and more often than not, sucking some corporate dick or the other.

And if they are so wild, why their music always sound like soulless, clean and polished commercial crap, manipulated by rich boring people devoid of any passion other than that for money? Man, that’s wild…

Fuck the lot of them. Fuck this crap 80s revival. Fuck Motley Crue, kill Vince Neil!!!

    Not sure people need to be blacklisted for life because of terrible things they may have done in the past, but yeah, I agree with everything else here. They should fuck back off.

      Why does the fact that Vince Neil killed someone in a car crash have any bearing on his music?

      One of my favourite musicians is Leadbelly he was often in prison for Murder Assault etc I still love the music regardless.

        also, i would have to burn all my Cool C and Steady B records, and that's not going to happen.

        FREE STEADY B!

        yeah, I think they're entirely separate issues

          I actually started re-reading The Dirt, this week.

          Motley Crue do somehow manage to come out as cool.

          Except Vince Neil who seems like a twat.

        This is interesting. It's a bit of a grey area for me.


        Burzum made groundbreaking music, but he is a Nazi who murdered someone so i'm not going to buy any of his records. I don't find myself listening to him much because the back of mind keeps saying 'homicidal racist twat'.

        Yet

        Fela Kuti was totally amazing but a sexist pig. And I seem to be more or less fine with that :S

          well, it's all product of environment and so forth...

          As a Nigerian in the 60s and 70s I wouldn't really expect Fela Kuti to be a male-feminist or anything and i think his anti-fascism is to be applauded.

            This reminds me of an essay Orwell wrote on Salvador Dali in which he argued that the kind of person an artist is should not bear on your appreciation of their art.

            "The fact that Dali is a disgusting example of a human being has no bearing on his skills as an artist. Nor should the fact that he possesses this skill, lead us to validate him as an exaple of humanity"

            the fact that vince neil killed someone under the influence of alcohol doesnt exactly surprise me, and it doesnt make me hate him any more than i do becos i think i hate motley crue with as much as there could possibly be within me.

  • Re: KILL KILL VINCE NEIL!!!

    wasn't it the drummer from hanoi rocks who died ?
    pretty sure it was, hence their career never breaking through the way it was almost certainly destined too . . . actaully im a bit suprised that you only just found out about this, it even got referenced in the movie Airheads (or one of the waynes worlds, i forget which)

      I spent 1 1/2 in state prison for what amounted to a wrapper of dope. ("You see this Charlie. It's enough heroin to kill an elephant." Me thinking, Heckle and fucking Jeckyl are arresting me right now. This will be funny in about 25 years.) And Vince gets 30 days. Celebrities/sloppy rich in California almost always get a pass. Life isn't fair. Fuck it.

      And as mr fullerov artfully pointed out, it doesn't make a whit of difference regarding the art of Motley Crue. Or, I should say, lack thereof. This band is offensive. Their fans are worse - the lowest breed of knuckle dragging morons a person could ever wish to never meet.

        i couldnt agree more.

  • Re: KILL KILL VINCE NEIL!!!

    that incident you obviously haven't looked in to. Vince neil's friend wanted vince to go and get booze for them and he wanted vince to go faster, yeah he crashed the car and he got 30 days and he wanted to go away longer but they wouldn't let him.

    NME is not the bible
