Vince's "You're Invited But Your Friend Can't Come"...and it ain't even close!

Vince all the way. High energy song coming from a hot band with an "in" movie. Also, he was just starting to get fat..
Little did he know a year later i would all be over when grunge hit.

Wow, I forgot how bad Methods of Mayhem was.

I think you could maybe splice that song together with the Mick Mars song and get something decent.

Vince had the advantage of having Jack Blades & Tommy Shaw write the song for him.

But yeah, he got my vote.

It's a favorite. It's not at all Motley, and it's a weird eclectic mix of shit that somehow works together. I shouldn't like it, I don't care for his other stuff, but yea this one does it for me.

Vince Neil's trenchcoat and steel plated boots sold me on his 90s image despite coming from a decade prior. He also made it to mainstream terrestrial UK music channels. Whereas the others including that horrible tommy lee cd nor subsequent reality tv shows did not.

Vince all the way.

Vince easily. Vince's Exposed album is pretty good overall.

Exposed is a pretty solid album overall. Vince wins the solo album contest by a landslide.

Grunge hit 2 years prior ('91) to Exposed's release ('93).

And Waynes World 2 got released in 1993 with Aerosmith still raking it in too. Grunge did not kill metal.

Exposed. Steve Stevens rips on that album. You're Invited and Look In Her Eyes are better than anything on the other solo albums.
