Vince Neil Performs 'Girls,Girls,Girls' With a Porn Star... In Front of Kids

Vince Neil Performs "Girls, Girls, Girls" with teen group Going Dark and porn star Lisa Ann... for a bunch of kids.

This all happened last weekend at a Motley Crue after party in New Jersey. I'm not saying the performance was right or wrong... but I bet there were some ticked off parents in the crowd! At any rate, it's very cool that the kids got to perform on stage with Vince.

I was at that show with my 9 year old son and I was disgraced. Not for seeing what MC (not vince!) did on stage, but for bringing my son with me; who was looking at me at vince's spectacle. so many thoughts ran through my head. but my final thought was this...apparently, this (MC show) is the "real" world and you might get exposed to these situations in the future. Let me show you how I react to Motley's mysoginist schitck and hopefully, that feeling will rub off onto you.

Again, Rita, no disrespect. And thanks for clarifying the age of your child. Makes perfect sense. Sidebar: at a certain point in time, solo and with the band, I am not sure DLR would have been a kid friendly show (the whole dousing ladies with a crotch bottle thing being a pretty standard part of his sets for a long time). But I am not a parent. So this isn't my place to chime in.

And sorry for putting words into your mouth Sweet Lou. I just interpreted your use of Rita's words as a sly comment on her expectations regarding what the boys in the band would say or do, historically or contemporaneously. So I still like your overall point even as I understand Rita's a bit better.

I also wanted to add that the whole use of women on stage can be debated over and over again. It is a preference on the part of the band and on the part of certain parts of the audience. From Alice to WASP to Zombie to Crue, women are used as props. This lends credence to . . . well, you get my point.

Fleth and Him, both of you made really great points. And Fletch your take away was really spot on.

I'm not trying to tell people how to parent. God knows how hard a job it is. And while I had a great time at the show, I couldn't help but look around and think that I was glad my little guy wasn't there. You can't shelter them forever but if you can delay the real world a bit, maybe that's not a bad thing (IMO anyway).

To HIM...you didn't put words in my mouth at all. I DID in fact use Rita's words because what Rita stated was much like all the complaints, shock, or whatever you want to call it from parents who bring their kids to these types of shows. As a parent myself who took my young daughter at the time who was 8 (now 31) and my middle son at the time, who was 9 (now 24) to a LOT of shows back in the day; I was "choosy" of who I took them to see. All FOUR of my children grew up with me listening to 80's metal, be it hair, thrash, etc and 70's rock. My middle daughter and youngest son weren't into the music that their other siblings liked, but treated ME to crap like NKOTB, Britny, Backstreet, etc "flavor of the month" boy/pop bands. The other two however WERE treated to seeing and meeting the likes of GnR, Pantera, Maiden, Zombie, Pearl Jam, The Stones, The Who and the Poison's, Warrant's, Ozzy's, W.A.S.P.'s, Alice Cooper's. etc who became more Disney than Mapplethorpe. I caught a lot of crap for taking them to shows from my wife, their grandparents, etc, but even though they were 8 or 9 when they went to their first rock shows, they were knowledgeable enough to know what they were seeing was nothing more than a "fantasy movie" like show. They were both in their early teens before a Motley show because I knew the "sex" would be blatant and not watered down version of what the bands used to be in the form of expression, i.e. Poison, Warrant, Ozzy, etc. MY personal biggest fear of taking them to ALL the shows wasn't what they were going to see onstage it was the AUDIENCE I was most concerned about. Drunken belligerent idiots with teritiorial problems, sloppy drunken women who would take their tops off at the request of anyone, and other numerous debauchery that we ALL know happens out there. I grew up in a weird way...I had one parent who lived more of a "hippie" type philosophy and another that made Ted Nugent look like the biggest liberal walking the planet. Even though I should have probably grown up living one lifestyle or the other, it made me look at ALL sides. So when it came to my kids, I made decisions based on what I knew and what I researched if I didn't know...although when it came to music/bands there wasn't MUCH that I could have gotten fooled on. Watching the witch hunts of the PMRC in the 80's made me realize ONE thing...KNOW what you're exposing your kids to. Be a parent and KNOW what they're listening to, what they're watching, so I did. RITA it seems is a similar parent it seems because she DIDN'T take her child to the show. So it wasn't "HER" actions per se, but her even having to state here 7 year old didn't belong. Kids today are growing up TOO fast with all the insanity in the world. Growing up for me seems so easy now, as it does for my children in comparison to what parents and kids alike today go through. The times, they did a change. Stepping back might not be such a bad thing, BUT "rock" was never intended for a 7 or 8 year old kid...it just morphed that way for some odd reason. Maybe it's because so many of the dangerous bands we listened to became reality stars, kid friendly showcases, etc it just took our guard down. Maybe Crue NEEDS the blatant sex now because it's hard to deceipher what Vince is singing about with only every third lyric being sung. LOL Sorry for the long worded spaz, but as I typed it took the whole original thought to a completely different direction. Rita hit the nail on the head as SHE looked around and SAW young kids at a show (which I believe I might have misinterpretted from her original post, my apologies) and seeing young bodies that should be somewhere else than a deabaucherous fist pumping head banging alcohol guzzling venue...SHE'D be CORRECT!
Carry on and sorry for being to lazy to use PARAGRAPHS as our dear Metalboy! does so eloguently ;)

Making a big deal out of nothing here.

Ahahaha!!!, Sweet Lou, thanks for flagging my crude use of Paragraphing.

And your priceless observation...

"More Disney Than Mapplethorpe"

Is one of the freshest comments I've ever read anywhere and probably the most sophisticated analogous comparison I've ever read on this site!

And is certainly beckoning to be an album title, if I ever heard one.
