Motley Crue has been facing a lot of questions from fans and industry insiders mostly regarding the health of members of the band. Mick Mars’ battle with ankylosing spondylitis and frontman Vince Neil’s issues with weight and horrible live vocals.
In a new interview with Fox Business, the band’s manager, Allen Kovac, revealed the great lengths the group is going to in order to prepare for the trek. “Some of them are working with a trainer,” the manager explained. “Some of them are working with a nutritionist to make themselves the best they can be.”
Kovac went on to reveal that Motley Crue began getting into shape even before the tour agreement was officially reached. “We were in November when the discussions were happening,” the manager noted. “And these guys were already into regimens of how they get ready for a tour.”
One Crue member whose fitness has been intensely scrutinized over the years is Vince Neil. The singer has received harsh criticism online for his weight gain and alleged drop in vocal ability.
In a 2011 interview with UCR, Neil insisted his vocals have actually improved with age. “My voice is getting better now than it’s ever been in my 30-year career,” he said. “Songs are easier to sing now. I think your voice just matures.”
Neil recently underwent hand surgery to correct a condition known as Viking’s disease. As for how the singer is preparing for the Stadium Tour, Kovac didn’t dish details, simply saying, “Let’s see what Vince sings like and looks like when the tour goes out.”
It’s no lie that Vince has never been a good singer “LIVE” and his level of denial is insane. It’s hilarious that even his manager seems to have very little faith in Vince’s ability to pull this off. His only response was “Let’s see what Vince sings and looks like?” Well, I’m not sure about looks but this is more than likely what your $200 (for nosebleed) seats will get you:
If you get to see any better than this, please provide me with video proof and piped in vocals DO NOT count.
