VINCE NEIL Busted For DUI

June 28, 2010

MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil was arrested last night (Sunday, June 27) in Las Vegas, Nevada on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, police said Monday..

Neil, 49, was booked at the Clark County Detention Center and faces one count of DUI-Liquor, Las Vegas police spokesman Bill Cassell told CNN. He was arrested at about 11:15 p.m. Sunday.

The singer was also allegedly involved in an incident in front of a Hilton Hotel where a fan said her camera was broken, Cassell said. Police are investigating that incident.

In a July 2008 interview with The Arizona Republic, Vince was asked if he ever looked at himself in the mirror back in the band's wildest days and said, "I'm pushing things too hard." He replied, "I tried to be sober back then, but it was tough because there was no support system. After I got into the accident in '84 (which left a passenger in Neil's car, HANOI ROCKS drummer Nicholas 'Razzle' Dingley, dead) and I did some jail time, I was ordered by the court to be sober. . . . You have to stop when you want to stop, and back then, I didn't want to stop. I wasn't ever really a drug guy; I just like to drink."

Vince Neil's tell-all book "Tattoos & Tequila", will be released on September 23 via New York's Grand Central Publishing.

Neil says the "Tattoos & Tequila" book is the perfect follow-up to the MÖTLEY CRÜE book "The Dirt" because he didn't talk much about himself in that, and this new one is all him.

Neil has just released his new solo CD, also titled "Tattoos & Tequila" (Eleven Seven Music). It is a compilation of genre-defining hits that have been given the Vince Neil rock renewal treatment. Neil's refreshed collection of classics consists of nine hand-picked, influential covers including "No Feelings" (SEX PISTOLS),"Nobody's Fault" (AEROSMITH),"Bitch Is Back" (ELTON JOHN),"Viva Las Vegas" (ELVIS PRESLEY),"He's A Whore" (CHEAP TRICK),"Long Cool Woman" (THE HOLLIES),"Another Piece of Meat" (SCORPIONS),"Who'll Stop the Rain" (CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL),"AC/DC" (THE SWEET) and two new tracks — "Tattoos & Tequila", the hard-rocking first single, and Another Bad Day", which was written by Nikki Sixx and was originally to be included on MÖTLEY CRÜE's 2000 release "New Tattoo".
