Vince Neil Tattoos & Tequila Review!

Author : Clive Charrington


         


A few years ago, Vince Neil was atop of the globe. He was the lead singer of one of the best Hard Rock bands of the 1980s, he sold hundreds of thousands of CDs, and packed live shows all around the world. Sadly for Vince Neil, those glory days are a thing of the past. Now Vince Neil is not a reputable icon any longer and neither is his music.

Neil’s newest solo release, Tattoos & Tequila, certainly doesn't symbolize those “glory days” of his long and infamous career. In fact, this album really doesn’t have a lot of anything to offer to Rock n Roll in general. Of the 12 songs, only two are authentic new songs. The rest of the tracks are cover songs of Traditional Rock and Metal artists.

Concerning the two original tracks, “Tattoos & Tequila” and “Another Bad Day”, neither may be very well written nor stands out. As an example Neil excitedly proclaims in “Tattoos & Tequila”; “I dream about your booty…I can’t wait until you do me again.” The music itself was written by Marti Frederiksen, who is known for co-writing a number of Aerosmith songs because the mid-1990s. He additionally co-wrote all of the songs from Mötley Crüe’s 2008 launch Saints Of Los Angeles. The opposite original track “Another Bad Day”, a slightly better offering, was co-written by Nikki Sixx. It really has somewhat of an old-fashioned Mötley Crüe sound. Neil’s vocals also sound contemporary and youthful which was a nice surprise. Nevertheless, the track itself is neither contemporary nor youthful, and is ultimately not memorable.

These cover songs that Neil performs are indeed an odd mix of artists and music. Elvis Presley, Elton John, Credence Clearwater Revival, Sex Pistols, and The Scorpions just to name a few. Neil has been known to produce some nice cover songs from his Mötley Crüe days, most notably “Smokin’ In The Boys Room” and “Helter Skelter”. Nonetheless, not one of the tracks supplied right here measure as much as these Crüe classics. For many of the songs he simply sounds out of his factor and ultimately like a bad evening at the karaoke bar. If there may be one small glimmer of hope included inside this mess, it could be the quilt of The Hollies'. Neil’s particular model that he emulates actually works very effectively with this song.

Tattoos & Tequila is perhaps an ideal album if you're ingesting a lot of tequila, or if you are simply looking for a great social gathering album. Nonetheless, Mötley Crüe followers ought to anticipate rather more from their beloved Vince Neil other than a mediocre album of cover songs.
