On the most recent edition of the RIP a Livecast, we spent a good portion of the show discussing Vince Neil literally phoning it in with his Cameo offerings. Cameo is a website that allows you to hire celebrities to post a short greeting for you for a price that the celebrity sets.
The Motley Crue frontman set his price at a relatively high $400, and you would think for charging that much money, he would put some effort into it. Nope! This is the effort he puts into one video, which looks like it was shot in a parking lot. We absolutely eviscerated Neil on our podcast for this. Take a listen for some laughs:
Previously, it was rumored that the promoter's contract for this Crue reunion tour stated the Neil had to lose weight and enter rehab to get the guarantee that Live Nation was offering. Perhaps that rumor was true? Or even if it wasn't the band is taking their fitness seriously. And I would hope so! Neil has been mocked mercilessly for some less than stellar performances in recent years.
Motley Crue's longtime business manager Allen Kovac expanded on what Sixx was saying in an interview with Fox Business a few weeks ago, saying Vince will shut down the haters:
“Some of them are working with a trainer, some of them are working with a nutritionist to make themselves the best they can be,” he adds. “The greatest insecurity for an artist is: Is anyone going to care about my music? Is anyone going to buy a ticket? We were in November when the discussions were happening, and these guys were already into regimens of how they get ready for a tour.”
As for the criticism of [Vince] Neil['s singing], he says, “Let’s see what Vince sings like and looks like when the tour goes out.”
