Vince Neil probably doesn't care that I've decided he's the Third Hottest Blond Guy in a Hair Metal Band from 1987 (third to Bret Michaels and Sebastian Bach, duh), but he does still seem to care about bringing the rock. As lead singer of the mighty Mötley Crüe, Neil has faced some hard times — like the death of spandex — some of which have hopefully prepared him for playing the has-been casino circuit. He may seem like a bloated shell of a reality-television whore now, but don't forget that this is one of the men behind the classic Crüe albums (i.e., Too Fast For Love, Shout at the Devil, Girls, Girls, Girls). A true star, Neil will face anything (even his own mortification) to make ya feel alright.
