The rock scene buzzed with speculation back in 1992 when Mötley Crüe fired Vince Neil from the lineup due to his issues with alcohol. Some rumored that Ken Tamplin was considered as the former vocalist’s replacement, which Nikki Sixx recently revealed was not true.
Answering an X question about whether Tamplin was going to join Crüe in the ’90s, the bassist wrote:
“I don’t know singer who that is, so ‘No.’”
Instead of the Christian rock performer, John Corabi stepped in for Vince Neil. With Corabi, Mötley Crüe released their 1994 self-titled album, but reports suggested the singer also played on some unreleased tracks from ‘Generation Swine.’
When the person who asked the previous question also wanted to find out whether these alleged recordings would ‘see the light of day,’ Sixx explained:
“And there are no songs recorded during that era. Everything we’ve recorded has been released unless unfinished demos from many eras.”

While Tampines is/was a phenomenal singer, he wouldn’t fit in with singing Crue songs lmfao From “Living For My Lord” to “She Goes Down”? Nah lol
