In a new episode of SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”, vocalist Vince Neil was asked how he felt about coming out of retirement and playing shows again as part of the Motley Crue’s 2022 summer stadium tour with Def Leppard and Poison.
Vince said:
“We sat around for, what? Five years without doing anything. I was always (doing shows) with my solo band, but I thought it’d be fun. I was in.
”They said, ‘We’re gonna get together and do some stadiums.’ And I was, like, ‘Okay, that sounds pretty cool.’ ‘The Stadium Tour’ got us out to more people, so it was a lot of fun.”
Asked if he felt that it was inevitable that MÖTLEY would start up again, given the success of the movie, Vince said:
“I didn’t even think about it. I didn’t even think about MÖTLEY at all. I thought the movie was great, and a lot of people liked it. And I guess it was inevitable. Because you get so many fans watching the movies, and at stadiums you can tell, because there’s kids with their dads and their grandpas — a young kid, like six, seven, eight years old, to 68 years old. It’s a lot of fun. It’s good to see those little kids out there doing the devil horns and stuff.”
