Talk:Vince Neil/Archive 1

Band Members
Can someone add information about Phil Soussan as the primary writer and first member of his solo "Exposed" band? Ultimately 5 songs ended up on exposed that were written by Soussan/Neil. Plenty of evidence can be provided as to the writing sessions, demos and efforts made by Soussan leading up to the Warner Bros deal signing (that was actually a $15M deal spanning over an optioned 5 albums). This all occurred before Steve Stevens even entered the picture. Steve's name as a potential guitarist was first mentioned as an idea by Mo Austin of Warner Bros at that deal meeting. The original band was Vince, Phil Soussan, Vik Fox, Robbie Crane (on guitar) and was to have had Adrian Vandenberg. Soussan left the band during the second recording sessions of the album as a result of a collaborative effort between Stevens and then producer Ron Nevison to oust him.

Why Vince Neil is a Criminal
Here is his Criminal Record criminal record

Jack Cox 19:18, 22 August 2005 (UTC) & Jerzy•t 17:43, 2005 August 24 (UTC), to reflect that there is no such thing as "his Criminal Record"
 * Battery: attacked prostitute Andrea "TrixXxie Blue" Terry at the Mound *House brothel near Carson City, NV 10-Jul-2003
 * Battery: 28-Apr-2002
 * Assault: Phoenix, AZ 10-Dec-1997
 * Vandalism: 1996
 * Road Rage: Apr-1995
 * Battery: MTV Video Music Awards at Universal City, CA 5-Sep-1989
 * Domestic Violence: Jul-1984
 * Driving While Intoxicated: 8-Dec-1984
 * Vehicular Manslaughter: 8-Dec-1984
 * Battery: Jan-1982
 * Battery: 31-Oct-1981
 * Driving While Intoxicated: sometime before 1984


 * _ _ Even if these were all convictions, they would not establish him as a notable crimininal, nor even notable in his criminality.
 * _ _ And in what jurisdiction is "Road Rage" the name of a criminal offense? Its use in stating a "criminal record" suggests we have no reason to treat these as derived from police or court records rather than what one reporter per entry considered criminal.
 * _ _ BTW, everyone knows what a "criminal record" is, but your attempt to dress his up with caps as "his Criminal Record" reeks of some personal need to impose a PoV on the article. Don't. --Jerzy•t 17:43, 2005 August 24 (UTC)

Article needs work
No mention of Vince Neil's son or of his other wives? No mention of his financial difficulties... Monkeybreath 10:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Re-added External Link To Motley Crue Site
I saw that earlier there was an external link to the offical Motley Crue website in this article, so I re-added it. The official Motley site has information about the subject of the article and he is currently on tour with the band. So it makes sense to me that it is here. (forgot to sign this earlier...)

Info Box
Why was the info box deleted? He is musician and it sums up all major stats in one easy to read area. Most musicians have them. If no one objects with any worthy feedback I will add it again. Blackserenity 14:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

cheers. Blackserenity 14:39, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

didnt he appear in a episode of still standing?
Didn't he appear in a episode of Still Standing in a tattoo parlor? I think that was him, can someone make sure. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 166.127.1.201 (talk) 18:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC).

Where is the info of his sex tape with Janine(porn star)?
I did a Google to find out who the hell is Vince Neil.(sorry for the ignorance I just wanted to know who was this guy that made Janine do straight porn during her only lesbian era). I did a Google and I find the information about the sex tape in the Google short description but when i click on the link it isn't there. I don't think it is libelous, he did the tape; it should be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.147.77 (talk) 18:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Continuity
I was reading the article, and first it said something about the sex tape in 1993, then Skylar dying in 1993, then Carved in Stone released 1995, then Generation Swine 1998, then the car accident with Hanoi Rocks drummer 1984...1984????? :P62.107.24.213 (talk) 21:52, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Voice type
The "voice type" field in the musical artist infobox template is intended for classical vocalists. This position is supported by Voice type and Voice classification in non-classical music. In the rare instance when a reliable source exists to support a voice type for a non-classical vocalist (i.e. Maria Carey) the source must be provided for inclusion in the infobox. I will revert the entry in this field for this page, if you disagree please comment at the talk page for the musical artist infobox. J04n(talk page) 16:33, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Re-write
This article reads like a poorly written and not at all in order timeline. Someone needs to re-write this garbage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.240.89.45 (talk) 14:46, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Edit request from GoddamnMan, 23 April 2010
This part should be removed from the article:

and eventually went platinum, doubling the sales of Mötley Crüe's 1994 self-titled album with singer John Corabi (previously of The Scream). All previous Mötley Crüe albums had sold at least one million copies

This is because the first sentence is untrue (as verifiable by the RIAA's searchable database) and the second sentence is irrelevant to this section of the article.

Edit request from, 1 November 2011
Can someone please remove the numerous Music for Relief entries in the charity section? My goodness, every single appearance in every single city doesn't need to be listed. Also grammatically wrong in each entry with "host" instead of "hosted".

Appearance in "Sun City" music video in 1985 and Kia Optima commercial in 2012
It should be noted that Vince Neil appeared in the music video for "Sun City" in 1985 and also appeared (along with Motley Crue) appeared in a commercial for the 2012 Kia Optima.65.87.46.226 (talk) 22:34, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 27 November 2012
I would like to request to add the following Vince Neil's Wiki Page, under Business Ventures. In 2011, Vince Neil ventured into the Gentlemen's Club business, opening Deja Vu Presents: Vince Neil's Girls Girls Girls in Las Vegas, Nevada. Vince Neil makes exclusive appearances at the Club and fans of Vince Neil should be informed of his appearances and Business Ventures via the wikipedia page.

Edit Request: Going solo
The way the sentence "Neil retired from racing in 1992 after crashing his car during a race in Long Beach after the third lap" is worded implies that he quit due to the crash, or at least immediately after. According to http://racing-reference.info/rquery?id=neilvi01&trk=t0&series=IL he participated in two more races after the crash at Long Beach. An edit to remove the implication would be good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.142.67 (talk) 01:55, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Please change Section 4.3 - Legal Troubles from "..Neil was also cited by the East Bay area of San Francisco for violating the daily water cap of 1,000 gallons.." to "..Neil was also cited by the East Bay Municipal Utility District for violating the daily water cap of 1,000 gallons..".

There is no such thing as the "East Bay area of San Francisco". East Bay is a region that spans the Alameda and Contra Costa counties. It does not include San Francisco county.
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: The article reflects the wording in the source. RudolfRed (talk) 19:59, 15 August 2022 (UTC)


 * That does not matter, the source is clearly wrong. The City and County of San Francisco has nothing to do with East Bay water caps. It is like saying "the New York borough of Jersey City", it makes no sense. Why deliberately leave inaccurate information in the article? I would get it if it was in an actual quote by someone, but it isn't. Please reconsider and remove a piece of misinformation from the internet. 135.180.70.143 (talk) 03:05, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
