Vince Neil Gets Mad Over Metallica... (Sort Of)

Just listen to the interview stream below (click to the post on Blabbermouth) - the clip is about 5 minutes long. A little awkward.

That DJ just goes on and on! I'm with Vince on this one.

[bkallday]

Watch it Snoot, most ppl on this board absolutely despise Vince and the Crüe(esp allison).

[Gary]

Seems like the DJ really wasn't prepared too well for the interview beyond asking him about the Motley/Metallica "sandbox battle",so he kept having to go back to it. I gotta side with Vinnie on this one. He pretty much made it clear he wasn't really aware of Nikki and Tommy's middle school drama with Lars "Uldick" to begin with,and didn't want to get involved,but the guy wasn't letting it go. I'd probably get pissed too, given the same circumstances.

[Bob]

Too often, this is the case with radio DJ's. Remember the one about a year ago who asked Paul Stanley a bunch of stupid questions? These days, most radio DJ's don't know anything about the bands they're playing. They don't need to.

while you're debating thee above^^^


I'm talking to you, and you and you and you and you and you, and you and you and you and you and, of yeah, you too.

[Allyson B. Crawford]

To say I despise Motley is laughable. They are one of my favorite bands, period.

[Dj]

I don't know why he's bringing up beef with Metallica and Motley that goes back twenty years anyway. If it's between Lars, Nikki, and Tommy (which Vince explained) he shouldn't keep bringing it up.

[Metalboy!]

Also, BK... Allyson is too humble to tell you that she has personally interviewed each member of the Crüe one-on-one around four times over the years.

And, mostly all of us have high regard for Vince Neil as a vocal stylist and entertainer. It's his total lack of professionalism and respect for people that's the problem.

[Ace Steele]

"And, mostly all of us have high regard for Vince Neil as a vocal stylist and entertainer."

I'm gonna have to recuse myself from that. I think he sucked ass in the beginning, & sucks ass much worse, now. I find it incredible that Motley found success not only with him, but in spite of him!

[Him]

I do enjoy the fact that they called it a "beef." Made me chuckle. Blabbermouth know how to get click with their headlines and the photos they use.

Problem is, there are too many issues which set Neil off: 'Tallica, Axl, his driving record, his name-slapping restaurant/strip club/liquor whiffs, etc., etc. None of them really take away from his musical legacy or the debates one can have about it. But they are par for the course when you are a public figure, an issue that both he and Lee seem to have trouble processing (Sixx less so, and Mars not at all . . . esp. when he is correcting his band mates!).

I think I tend towards Metalboy!'s assessment, even if you all know by now the qualifications and caveats that I have offered up ad nauseam. No doubting their place in the pantheon, even if some might rightfully question their integrity. Hey, everyone has an opinion. Right?

But I will say it again: bagging on our host is poor form, regardless of who you are or what you think. We post here at her luxury.

[bkallday]

Please tell me how i "bagged on the host". Thanks in advance!

[fletch]

just keeping tabs:

mb: "total lack of professionalism and respect for people that's the problem." -sounds exactly like your ex-lead guitarist. thank god she married into her position of power and self-righteousness. If you only knew what was going on behind your back. I saw it first hand and gave it right back to her ten-fold, and then some. still do, occasionally. whereas, my lack of professionalism and lack of respect...mostly rumors, but hey, who am I to get in the way of a good rumor.

him: I post here at my luxury, not the other way around. Allyson has banned me repeatedly, even for a year at one point. I would check periodically to see if I could log on, and when I could, I started posting again. she can ban me anytime. I don't care. I ain't changing...I've "changed" enough for people and those people still bitch and complain. they are never satisfied. ever!

ace: look in the mirror some more. you are bitter, as evidenced by...well.

[fletch]

oooppss...what I meant to type, mb, was a nod to 'him', by stating: If you only knew what was going on behind your back, ad nauseam.

[Metalboy!]

BK, you're baggin' on Al when you're sayin' she despises Crüe. She states several comments later that they are, and I quote, "one of her favorite bands".

Ace, I'm actually with you! Note I called Neil a "vocal stylist", not a singer!

Look, I know you think he sounds like Woody Woodpecker, but, if you'll remember, my personal opinion is that his voice more closely resembles "Little Alvin" from "Little Alvin & The Chipmunks!

[Metalboy!]

And Lars Udick is a weenis extraordinaire that ruined the Metallica brand! Viva Megadeth!

[Him]

Haven't seen the word "wennis" in a good long while, Metalboy! Thanks for the laugh. And I appreciate you pointing out the obvious as well. I am trying to take the high road (thanks to you). So it nice when it isn't just me hollerin' at ether.

[bkallday]

Saying that someone despises a band is not "bagging on someone". Thats nothing but bullshit nonsense. I dont care how smart you think you are!

[Metalboy!]

BK! Allyson LOVES the Crüe, if I'm not mistaken. Again, she's just dissapointed, like anyone else be, when they're just mailing in a performance or, just as worse, mediocre new songs, etc.

These guys could retired touring on a killer farewell album and instead, just went all Vegas on us playing the same old shit with zero inspiration!

Metal Godz, Help Us!
