Vince Neil — famous for being the lead singer of notorious rock band Mötley Crüe — on ice skates?
and not just ice skates, but a reality show for ice skating.
How (not) metal.
But apparently, Vince skated a lot as a kid. Story here. I guess it surprises me because Vince would have to realize all that white stuff on the rink was ice shavings and not cocaine. 😉
In all fairness, Vince skated pretty well. It’s evident he knows how to get around on skates, from skating backwards, to partner moves and so on. So really, it’s not bad. The routine was certainly playing to Vince’s rocker status, but it wasn’t any sort of impressive skating routine… it was just kinda flat and obvious they made a routine that worked with Vince’s skill level and worked to hide what he couldn’t do. But hey… you could tell Vince wasn’t drunk because he had his balance. 😉
I figure the guy’s gotten to a point in his life where it doesn’t matter any more. Just have fun, make some money, keep your name and face out in front of people. And he actually looked like he was having fun out there, so hey… all that matters.
Stuff From Hsoi 
The Motley Crue guys have always been opportunistic whores willing to do anything for money, no matter how awful the music they made or how stupid it was. It’s just a shame there weren’t enough drug overdoses and plane crashes to go around back in the 80s. Randy Rhodes and Dimebag are dead; Vince Neil and Tommy Lee are still alive. Some would say that’s proof that there is no God. More likely it’s proof that neither God nor Satan wants any of those Motley Crue guys in Heaven or Hell, so we are stuck with them here.
Nikki Sixx OD’d a couple times, died once… but he’s turned it around into a band (Sixx A.M.), a book (“Heroin Diaries”), talk of a movie… so yeah, it was just another ploy to make money. 🙂
No discussion of “opportunistic whores willing to do anything for money, no matter how awful the music” is complete until someone mentions KISS.
And Slayer. For all Slayer’s “undergroundness”, it’s amazing how much they merch themselves and how much you see Kerry King (guitarist with the bald head) everywhere.
He’s on some kind of syndicated show in the S.A. radio spectrum on the week-ends.
