Vince Neil has a new solo album and it is called Tattoos and Tequila. It's a fun party record that you can just put on and drink some tequila with a few hired hookers and play some pool. However, it is the Scream and Get Naked of party albums. That is to say, it will is a giant directionless wreck, but you won't care if you are drunk.

The first track Tattoos and Tequila is one of the only original songs on the record and it sounds a mess. The vocal effects on Vince really scared me. If this song was going to be indicative of the entire album, it was going to be a long review. Luckily, he keeps the vocal effects down to a minimum throughout the rest of the album. There are plenty of talk box guitar effects, whirring effects like Jerry Cantrell, Zakk Wylde pinch harmonics and that is on ONE guitar. Oh the song is a disaster. It stumbles and fumbles to an mediocre guitar solo and leaves you with a headache.

He's a Whore (Cheap Trick cover), the second track on Tattoos and Tequila borrows liberally from the back catalog of Motley Crue. You can hear so many Crue songs being pulled into this cover version, it is a hodgepodge of Crue classics. Vince's cover of He's a Whore is so confused it is like a pre operative transsexual. It doesn't know whether to be itself or just be the Crue. The result is somewhere in the middle.

The album does perk up with AC/DC (Sweet cover), which sounds like a B-Side from Girls Girls Girls. It is a party anthem for those parties where you have brass poles in the basement and red cups aplenty.  The guitar, bass and drums are great throughout the A and B sections, but the chorus is awful, which wasn't the case with the original.

Another Bad Day (Vince original) is like the first time you got a blowjob from a virgin. It starts out catchy, with a very nice guitar riff and a lighter Vince vocal styling. You think, "yea I love this feeling. A hot wet mouth on my rod, awesome." But the chorus comes in like teeth. Your face is scrunching hoping that the song and your virgin oral partner gets back on the right track. Sorry, it never happens.Towards the end so much is going on, piano, dueling guitars, Vince singing softly and loudly, you can't concentrate on what is going on.It's like your virgin lover using their tongue, hand, teeth, and fingers all at the same time and all completely clueless.

Creedence Clearwater Revival's Who'll Stop the Rain, Elvis Presley's Viva Las Vegas, and Elton John's Bitch is Back aren't bad covers, but each one is a bit too close to the original. When a band does a cover song, they have to take some liberties with it or less it be compared to the original. Vince is no John Fogerty or Elvis Presley, but his version of their classics isn't bad. I think his cover of Bitch is Back is the best of the entire record though with a rip roaring solo in the middle.

Overall, this album is a mess. It has no structure and has no point. The album is not lacking an audience, fans of Motley Crue and Vince Neil, will find a song in here they like, if not love. It is the perfect party record. You put it on in the background, only tune into it occasionally as you are doing other things. If you are hosting a party, you might want to pick this record up. If you are looking for a good record, you can find that elsewhere.
