Tattoos & Tequila: To Hell and Back with One of Rock's Most Notorious Frontmen
Motley Crue/Vince Neil - Book - by Vince Neil
(2010)
"So where do we start? I remember when we did The Dirt, the Mötley Crüe
book, I was interviewed at The Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills. A lot
of people think I didn't get to say much in The Dirt. It's probably
true. I didn't read it. I'm not that big a talker. Some people can
f*ckin' talk ... eat up all the oxygen in a room in no time flat. I
don't tend to run my mouth. It's b*llshit. All those years in rehab and
counseling--the talking cure? I can't say I really got that much out of
it. All that cure and I should be cured by now, don't you think? All
this talking...
So forgive me if it's a bit hard for me to
slice open a vein and let my blood run red all over this page for you.
I'll fight you or I'll f*ck you but chances are I'll be hard pressed to
sit there and talk to you.
War stories. War wounds. I know, I
know. Old rock stars fall hard. I'm forty-nine years old. I'm
five-foot-nine, 170. The spandex is over. I've had three plastic
surgeries. Still, who do you think gets laid more, me or you? But time
does change a man. I ain't twenty-one anymore.
It's a miracle
we survived at all. A bottle of Jack Daniel's and uncooked hot dogs do
not make for a particularly well-balanced diet. We are all very lucky we
didn't kill ourselves. It might look like we were trying to do that but
speaking for myself, death was never my intent. I just wanted to feel
good, you know? I was just looking for that kick, that high...
These days I've got businesses to run. I like the action. Something to
get your heart pumping. Healthier than a syringe full of cocaine powder
like I was doing back in '81 with my girlfriend Lovey, that's for
sure...
But you got to admit...those days are a lot more fun to talk about..."
