Motley Crue singer Vince Neil is promising some big things when the band launches its second Las Vegas residency next month.
“There’s a lot of cool stuff we’re going to use this time,” Neil tells Vegas.com. “Technology changes so rapidly and new stuff comes out all the time. All of a sudden someone goes, look at this, and we go, ‘Holy sh*t, that’s cool.’ We have to outdo ourselves every time we put something new together. This one – I don’t know how we’re going to top this one. There’s some crazy stuff going on in this thing and just a lot of fire and smoke and monsters and all kinds of cool stuff.”
Billed as an “Evening In Hell”, Motley Crue returns to The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for an exclusive 12-show run from September 18 through October 6.
Neil, who lives in Las Vegas, said residencies are a “dream come true” for many touring bands.
“Being able to, especially for me living here, pack a lunch and f*ckin’ walk to work, you know?” he said. “Basically, we’re touring without having to really tour. It’s great to play every night here at home for me and not have to be on a bus or an airplane.”
The other band members will stay at the Hard Rock when they have a show, but will likely return home on off-days, he added.
Fans can expect Motley Crue to play their greatest hits, such as “Dr. Feelgood,” “Girls Girls Girls,” “Home Sweet Home” and “Kickstart My Heart”, but band members are resurrecting some songs that have fallen to the wayside over the years.
“I think we’ll dig a little deeper in our bag of songs and do a lot of stuff that we haven’t done in many, many years,” Neil said. “Those are going to be fun – fun for us and fun for the audience. So, it’s new songs, but it ain’t really new songs. They’re old songs, but they’re new to a lot of people.”
Since the Crue’s Vegas debut in 2012, Guns N’ Roses performed their “Appetite For Democracy” residency last fall, while Def Leppard played their “VIVA! Hysteria” series this spring.
