Jason Le Miere of RevolverMag.com recently conducted an interview with Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
RevolverMag.com: What stage are you at with [your new solo album] album?
Vince Neil: Just working on the music right now. Haven't gotten in the studio yet, just working on songs. We'll probably get the music done next month. I'll get into vocals in December, should have it finished up by January.
How is it different for you playing with you solo band, as opposed to with Mötley Crüe?
Well, Mötley Crüe is, you know, Mötley Crüe, a big production and everything. My thing is basically going out with my fiends and just having a good time and just playing straight-ahead rock 'n' roll. Right now it's just one-offs, so it's I'm home, then we got to fly to the gig, do the gig, then fly back home, where obviously with Mötley we don't do that. Like I said, in 2010, after the record comes out, we'll go out and do a proper tour and get back on the bus.
How long have you been together with the guys in your solo band?
I've been with these guys maybe three or four years, I guess. Sometimes band members change in solo bands, some guys go out and do other stuff while I'm playing with Mötley, but these guys I've been together with these guys for a while.
How does the writing process work for your solo album, does everyone contribute?
Everybody comes in with ideas everybody. It's a band, and we treat it as such. So everybody has ideas. Everybody comes in and we collaborate and put stuff together.
What can we expect from the album, any surprises?
No, it's just straight-ahead rock 'n' roll, man. That's what I do.
