Born Vincent Neil Wharton got interested in music since his school years. Then the idea to become a band member captured the hearts of all teenagers in LA. Vince met Tommy Lee at a high school and later they formed a band “Mötley Crüe” alongside other musicians, Nikki Six and Mick Mars.
The band became popular with such hits as “Too Fast for Love”, “Shout at the Devil”, “Girls, Girls, Girls” etc. Vince Neil was known not just with his great vocals, but also with his long blonde hair and unusual make-up. He was on drugs during that period of time and was even jailed for a while as he caused a terrible car crash, which took lives of several people.
After that Vince Neil went for rehab. As a part of the band, he got numerous honors and awards, but in 1992 decided to perform solo.
