Recently talking to The SDR Show, guitarist Steve Stevens opened up about Vince Neil’s band and shared why he left it.
Regarding this, the guitarist said:
“We actually supported Van Halen for six weeks, and that tour was already booked. That was one of the enticing things for me about doing the record with Vince. Ron Nevison was the producer who had done all those great heart records and also did ‘Quadrophenia.’
”Doing the album and doing the tour with Vince, with Van Halen was an amazing, fantastic time, but we were almost like in a bubble because all of this grunge stuff was happening.
”If you are Van Halen, you are impervious to that, it doesn’t matter, but once we finish that tour and we’re getting booked into clubs and smaller venues, it kind of gave me the impetus to do my ‘Flamenco’ record because I didn’t really know where rock music was heading, and it was a time for me get back to my roots. It’s all music to me.”
