S*it happens sometimes during a live rock show, and Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil is no stranger to the occasional fall or bump while performing. About three years ago, the frontman broke his ribs during a solo show at the Monster on the Mountain festival in Tennessee, and his guitarist ended up playing and singing the rest of the set.
Neil took another fall Friday night during Motley Crue’s show in Atlantic City, but thankfully it wasn’t anything severe. During the opening chords of “Wild Side” Neil lost his footing and fell. Video of the incident can be viewed below. “He wiped out,” a fan can be heard saying after he fell around the 45 second mark of the video. Neil got back up quickly and sang the tune.
Motley Crue has been making the press rounds recently to promote their upcoming tour dates as well as their new single “Dogs Of War.”
Neil was recently asked how he would react if the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. “I think it’d be pretty cool to be inducted, but we’ll probably be dead when they induct us,” he told 93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia.
Drummer Tommy Lee added: “It’s weird. It’s one of those things where you’re, like, ‘Oh, that would be so f*cking rad.’ And it’s a weird double-edged thing, because, at one point, it was, like, ‘Whoa, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.’ And then, over the years, there’s been a bunch of people getting inducted into it that — I don’t know — sometimes you’re, like, ‘How’s that possible?’ or ‘I’m not sure that this quite fits’ or whatever. And so then you go, you’re, like, ‘Yeah, maybe it’s not that cool.’ But if the fans think it’s cool, then it’s cool.”
