Vince was sober, recording Dr. Feelgood in Vancouver, Canada on
the weekends, & apparently not getting along with his then wife,
Sharise Ruddell. Sometime in perhaps mid 1988, Sharise talked to the
folks at Blast! Magazine about her relationship with Vince, the making of Motley's new record & what she was getting herself up to as Mrs. Neil.
In May 1989, in the locker room after a charity baseball game, Coach Vince Neil talks to Gerri Miller of Metal Edge Magazine about the loss to Sam Kinison's team & updates her on the final stages of the recording of Dr. Feelgood.
Gerri Miller of Metal Edge once again gets the scoop on the new
Motley record & Vince talks about everything including the new
video, tour, acting & much more in this circa August 1989 article,
'Vince Neil On The Line':
Vince talks to Anne M. Raso at Powerline Magazine circa
October-November 1989. He speaks at length about Motley's longevity, the
scuffle-up at Moscow in August that saw them separating ways with
manager Doc McGhee, the then European tour, the security necessary for
big rock bands & an anecdote about an imposter who convinced a Las
Vegas casino that he was the real Vince Neil & left a bill for 10
grand! The Crue would be jetting to gigs on their new private plane for
the first time.
Vince's turn as an actor in some bigger budget movies is mentioned in all these interviews. He gets killed in Andrew 'Dice' Clay's The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane from 1990. He also voices regret that his scene in Police Academy Part 6 got cut from the final feature. Here's the trailer for the 'Dice' movie. Most of Vince's appearance is featured in the first 13 seconds!
Motley contributed 'Rock N' Roll Junkie' to the soundtrack. I actually
bought this thing, I was such a Cruehead. I didn't know they were going
to release it on Decade Of Decadence in 1991 but I couldn't have waited
that long anyway. A fun & funky Motley B-Side!
We actually have about 6 minutes of Vince on the set of Police Academy 6 in late 1988. We see him in 'Hair & Make-up', going over his lines at his trailer & then being interviewed about Motley. Vince says they're taking holidays 1988 off & then pre-production with Bob Rock in January 1989 with recording starting February 1st. We even see the cut scene as the crew films it!
More Vinnie to come at The Sleaze Patrol Files!!
