During a recent chat with Australia’s “Scars And Guitars” podcast, former Motley Crue singer, John Corabi, recalled the time he joined the group back in 1992, replacing singer Vince Neil.
During the chat, Corabi said:
“The funny thing of it is I get these fans that… ‘Cause I guarantee you part of this interview is gonna end up on a website like Blabbermouth. It is what it is, and I’m fine with it; I don’t give a s*it. The funny thing of it is these fans will sit there and make these comments, like, ‘Oh my God, dude. F*ck, it was 27 years ago.
”Leave it alone. Why don’t you move on? Why don’t you get your own life?’ And the odd thing is… I don’t really say to anybody, ‘Hey, you can interview me, but don’t ask me about this, this, this or…’ My life is an open book. I don’t care. I’m proud of everything that I’ve done. I respect everything that I’ve done. I have no regrets. And at the end of the day, though, I don’t even think about that stuff.”
Corabi added:
“I try to liken my life to driving a car. I did the Motley thing. I did [my pre-Motley Crue band] The Cream. Who knew I was gonna get into Motley? I did that. Who knew Vince was gonna come back? And I did Union. And who knew that Bruce [Kulick, Corabi‘s Union bandmate] was gonna join Grand Funk Railroad [and] I was gonna get an offer [to play with] Ratt.
”Everything happened for whatever the universe’s reasons were it happened. And at the end of the day, I feel like if you’re in a car and you’re moving the car forward, it’s kind of important to look forward. If the car is moving forward and you’re looking in the rearview mirror behind you, you’re looking in the past and it’s not gonna end well because you’re not paying attention to what’s going on in front of you.”
