Legendary Vince Neil is back onstage for the first time in 2022 at Hollywood Casino in Columbus, Ohio
With the series of disastrous live shows performed by Vince in 2021, fans were hoping Vince will deliver a good performance.
Fans had mixed thoughts after seeing him live. Some felt it was terrible while some praised him for a decent performance.
Here’s the response from CRUE fans:
Sounds like he’s at least trying. He looks to have slimmed down a little bit. Very curious about the Stadium Tour. I know Nikki said it’s gonna happen, but part of me feels like it’s going to get postponed again.
Somewhere between bad and terrible. There are no excuses. There is a difference between losing one’s voice due to old age and/or rock rolling through the decades, and singing off-key. In Vince’s case, both elements figure here. The real underlying problem however was that Vince was never a great singer, to begin with – I’d compare him to a distressed squirrel, but this would hurt the lovely animals’ feelings. In his best days, in-studio he sounded tolerable to semi ok at best. Now he sounds just plain bad.
I love the Crue about as much as anyone, they’re the first real rock band that I loved back in the day. But you have to know when to say when. I’m sure it’s near impossible to give up the lifestyle, the fans, the fame, etc. Both admirable and sad
Please just quit! We all loved the Crue back in the day. But now they are just shells of their former selves. Who wants to pay hundreds of dollars to sit through this crap? If you love the Crue just pop in a CD and smoke a joint, bang! 1985 all over again. I’ll skip the stadium tour and preserve my memories. Would anyone pay good money to watch an old, fat Steven Seagal remake Under Siege?
That was a good laugh. Vince needs to just stop drinking and relearn his lyrics.
Sadly that was a good laugh. Sorry Vince love ya and your determination but to me it still sounds like you’re speaking a foreign language and now I don’t feel so bad about my own body you’ve got bingo wings too. F*ck it, Rock on. We’ve got our memories I commend you for your efforts

What???? Ppl who say that are either haters or screwed up in the head… I think we need to break up his performances are fine , what is the matter with them?
It’s more fun to go to my mom through concert and sing along rather than stay there and just watch him perform! If you are hating on him because of how he either looks or performs you are not a real fan.. ready to hit your a 100% complete hater and like to make fun
I want to remember Motley Crue in their prime. Let’s not be those older adults who can’t move on and accept our new lives and circumstances appropriate for our ages
Listening objectively, if I were in a bar and heard this from a cover band, I’d say it was a plus poor rendition.
Good God. I was in tears. LAUGHING. Vince oughta just turn his concerts into a comedy routine.
Was he ‘singing’ in Morse code? I’m a Crue fan from way back, but there’s no way I’d pay money ever again to see this band with Vince as the singer. I’m not even sure I’d go see them if I was offered a free ticket.
No thanls.
Watching Motley Crew was just a sad experience. Vince can’t sing and he looks like an old guy trying to be young again. Let us just remember how they used to be, please no come backs.
Horrible. I thought it was comedian Sam Kennison back from the dead singing. Lpl
Look at those blue hairs
Honestly, I don’t know why everyone is on Vince’s case. He’s been doing this for forty years in a screaming loud Rock n’Roll band. That’s bound to have a negative effect on anyone’s vocal cords. He still is part of an unbelievably entertaining show and is a vital part of Motley Crue. They’ve tried it before with a different lead singer and quite frankly it just wasn’t Motley Crue. Keep rocking Vince. Screw the critics!!!
For whoever complained about Vince’s voice, if you think you can do it better I’ll like to see you do it , people know a days complain of anything, you all should be greatful for a concert cause who knows if tomorrow there will ever be anything, especially with this covid thing, we as Americans are spoiled, were I live there’s no concerts, honestly be greatful for what you have cause who knoys what tomorrow holds, opologize to Vince.
You are on target. Been a crue fan for years. I would rather keep my high energy memories and love them versus watching something pathetic and stain my love of the crue forever.
Retire for real while u can
Way past time to hang it up, that is embarrassing I can’t believe he hasn’t watched a replay of it and sobered up immediately. I thought Nikki sixx couldn’t play the bass guitar. But I guess he’s not too bad after all. That was embarrassing
Bs. He was a great singer!!!! And if you dont wanna hear him now, then dont go see his shows. We have 1 life people and if this is what he wants to do for fun in his life, then let him. I’d go see his shows no matter how good he is cause I know who he still is and always will be. People went to see elvis, steel heart, johnny cash, and all those that got old and didnt sound the same or look the same anymore. Why? Cause of who they were and are still forever. If you liked motley crue, then go see them. If you dont then shut up and dont go. I know 1 thing. My parents taught me when I was a small boy that if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything
It don’t matter. He is freaking Vince Neil. Do you hear me !!!! He is “Vince Neil” The only singer of Mötley Crüe !!!! Can any of these so called “fans” do the same thing they did 41 years ago as if they were doing it for the first time. I think NOT. if this is the case shouldn’t Ozzy of quit singing 20 years ago ???? Just saying. Keep Rockin Vince Neil !!!! I will be front row everytime !!!! Luv. Crüe !! Luv Vince Neil 4 ever !!!°
Let him do what makes him happy. It’s a live show. Yes things arnt the same. But he was never a true vocalist ever. He is an entertainer.
Dana strum looks like a old tranny!
He sounds terrible, nuff said
He sounds like crazy, nuff said
Oh my ?♀️ I think it’s time Vince to let it go. My husband has been a HUGE fan of Crue since your first release. His singing was largely influenced by you and the 80s hair bands. My husband’s voice is a cross between Vinces and Sebastian Bach. Hell his birthday and our sons are on the same days as Tommy’s and Nikki’s. Advice is to just let someone else take the part so we can remember you when you ROCKED! It’s ok to let go, don’t disgrace yourself. ???
Mötley Crüe hasn’t played music live without backing tracks in over a decade. With Vince only singing one out of every three to five words in the songs, it’s just a recipe for suck. I was a HUGE Crüe fan, but they’re literally just crap now. Hang it up. You don’t need the money that bad….
Maybe vice should try tuning down a half step or even the whole step to save his voice.
He sounds n looks better than last yr.he trying like hell.good job vince.crue tour will have hell of lot better sound systems than he had there.but agree he needs work on song lyrics. Or get him a teleprompter to read like joe biden has.jk
Mick Mars is in better shape than Vince.
Went in saw show n Jacksonville, Poison shouldda been co headliner.. they and leppard sounded great.. dont wanna bash em but, ya.. it was painful. Loved how tommy somehow miraculously recovered from 4 broken ribs too,, what a joke.
