Nice article, good to see them getting some coverage.
Only one thing that bothers me the Vince comments,like you can totally blame Vince for that.
Other then that good read. [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img]
I don't see anything wrong with the Vince comments. It has never been a secret that Vince never apologized about any of it to anybody, not even the family of Razzles. Vince Neil got away with A LOT and never had to really answer for it. Many people feel that Skylar was karma coming back on Vince. Who knows? The man may have been able to kill a shitload of demons with just a few simple phone calls. There is no doubt Vince Neil is one of the biggest assholes that has ever made a buck off the entertainment buying public, and to this day he proves it over and over again.
Ah, just read it all. You know, I hate reading Mike stuff nowdays. The man comes across as a bitter prick who blames everybody but himself. I understand his frustration with everything, but man, give me a break.
The thing I find funny is the bit about how it was Rene that introduced Andy to heroin! LOL!!! I'm sorry, but I have a REAL hard time believing that Andy had spent as much time around Johnny Thunders and never encountered heroin! Or are we to forget that Thunders used to bill himself as New Yorks Number 1 Junkie (or was he number 2?).
Plus the bit in the studio about the band slagging off Johnny. I have no doubt that they did that, but the fact that Mike attacks back at them about heroin use, in a Johnny moment, is quite funny.
Andy seems like he has learned a few lessons about life. Mike seems like he needs to learn a bit, and to get off his God-complex. The man seems like a huge prick, still.
carl, i'm with ya on the mike stuff. i wish i was still young and nieve because i used to worship him, that was until i started to read some interviews with him from a few years ago. there is just something about him the irks me now. very cynical, very the world owes me something.
when i saw him at Life in NYC back in 98, he was acting like the people there were gnats bothering him. he still put on the rockstar act but was pissed when someone would stop him and ask for a picture. (is this where axl got it from?) i hope he has a better outlook now, who knows, maybe something was bothering him that night. you never know.
I know Vince never called or apologized and i'm not saying that's right cuz it's not.
I just don't like people blaming him for Razzles death, when Razzle was just as intoxicated and no one forced him to get in that car. That's what i was trying to say in my first post.
I Like Mike but i agree he is kinda acting odd these days.
Vince not only killed Razzle but killed Hanois in the process.I totally agree with Andy Mcoys comments in the article.
I like the bit about Razzle being a "safe driver". He was well known to be a bloody maniac behind the wheel.
And I've heard a COMPLETELY different side of the Rene Berg business. Suffice it to say, I don't know of anyone with a bad word for him bar Mike. He certainly wasn't the one to introduce McCoy to smack; the band was reputedly even named after Andy's favourite brand of heroin...
I reckon Monroe's clean-cut image is a con - he's been on drugs all along. Why else would he spout so much bollocks?
Poor little Andy would never have got into smack if he hadn't met big bad Rene...That takes the fucking biscuit!!
Mike was stopped for speeding in Finland a few years back,with amphetamines found in the car.Funny,huh.
Mike never recovered from Jude's death (his wife).He feels so quilty about it all,especially as he had wanted to leave her for quite a while before,but she always threatened suicide,so he couldn't.There,some info,maybe that makes it easier to understand him.And maybe it wasn't the best thing to do to steal his current wife Johanna from his then bast mate either.
Don't lynch me for my opinions.Was just thinking aloud there.
<font size="3" face="Arial">Hmmm, yeah, and people lay Skylar's death onto the reason Vince is such an incredible dick. But like Vince, stories of Mike being an arrogant ass and a "poor ol' me" kind of guy go back WAY before Jude. I might accept the fact that he lost Razzle, Johnny, Stiv, etc. But ya know, some people try to be a better person after death effects them in a horrendous way, not a bigger boob. I think the real problem is that Mike is just a dick by nature.Quote:
