How To Sing Like Vince Neil - Mötley Crüe - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy

[@robertb.4202]

How to sing like Vince Neil? Get the crowd to do it.

[@KD-nb3mp]

Mötley Crüe was a killer Band. Vince wasnt the best singer but he has a unique voice which was a huge part of motleys sound. Great frontman for sure.

[@irocitZ]

I agree, they are a killer band. They're one of the most successful bands that came out of Hollywood, I really don't think thats possible to do if you have a vocalist that can't sing. I think theres gotta something wrong with people that bash Vince all of the time, it makes no sense.

[@allencolvin4320]

Vince Neil's vocals was the sleaze of Motley Crue and Nikki Sixx was the writer

[@nunodarrell6606]

Agreed! One of my favourite vocalists is John Corabi and love the album that Crüe did with him. But Vince has that iconic Crüe twang in his style. And props to Vince that he still sings it live and not going “Milli Vanilli” like a few bands do nowadays!

[@scottparker7918]

In an interview Nikki Sixx said, "When I first saw Vince perform I didn't think that he was a great singer, but he could certainly get the girls!" Mötley is my all time favorite band, and even though Vince's singing is now kind of shabby, I still love those guys!

[@gregoryvanderpas4176]

You should check out karaoke night, you will find many unique voices.

[@davidg1612]

Vince Neil 1985 or now? Lol. In all seriousness, Vince in his prime was not the most technically gifted singer but much like the also oft-criticized Stephen Pearcy, he had a signature sound with the swagger and attitude to match. Most importantly, his voice, just like Stephen Pearcy, fit so well within the makeup of the band he's in that no replacement could ever hope to take their place long-term because what they do is difficult to replicate.

[@strykerballcrush4650]

Definitely not Vince Neil 2022. He was horrible on the Stadium Tour. Winded, missing words on some songs, little personality.

[@amusicalheart7]

I agree. I was a huge RATT fan. Out of the Cellar was a fantastic album.

[@davidg1612]

@@strykerballcrush4650 It's sad because he at least looked confident onstage back in the day. He just looks tired, bored and broken now.

[@Grodd70]

@@strykerballcrush4650 I saw Motley in 2005 and it was the same. Talked to my brother who saw them in their "prime" in mid 80's and it was always kind of bad with missing words. I think that age and being out of shape has only added to the problem. Vince has a unique voice, seems like a cool guy in interviews but he is a studio singer, always has been. Nothing wrong with that, there are many others that are the same way...unique voices which gives bands their sound off the top of my head David Lee Roth, Axel Rose to name two.

[@RunningWild32]

Things I've never thought I'd see... How to sing like Vince Neil haha love you Ken. You are a master

[@josephz803]

Why the hell would anyone want to sing like Vince Neil?? He is brutal!!!

[@joncriswell9411]

Absolutely! I never thought he was good back in the eighties. He sho ain't now...

[@KD-nb3mp]

He was great on the theathre of pain tour. You can find some live videos here on KZbin from 1985. Thats when he had to sober up when he got out of prison on probation. Sure there are better singers than vince but he was unique and hes a huge part of motley crües sound.

[@irocitZ]

If I could I would love to give it a try, not many singers can replicate his sound. Not to mention, if I were able to somehow sing like Vince maybe with a little luck & some practice perhaps I could be just one percent as successful, I'd wind up a millionaire. Minus a few legal issues maybe even a multimillionaire.

[@otisdriftwood8469]

You obviously didn't see them in their prime, vince sounded good and was a great showman. Listen to the Kickstart demo.

[@dtklamf7457]

@@otisdriftwood8469 I did (twice on the shout tour, opening for Ozzy and headlining the Beacon) He didn't. :P He was a good front man and looked great back in the day...I'll give him that much.

[@irocitZ]

Vince has a style all of his own, I haven't heard too many people sound like he does. Ozzy is the same way, I really don't think anyone else sounds like either of them. I used to see a Crue cover band, the singer was kinda close to sounding like Vince, anyway I like Vince. His range in my opinion is pretty good. Listen to his live solo album

[@MultiCamdaddy]

Your right but no one can duplicate the Man Ronnie James DIO he was the best of all of em just my opinion

[@bongodave13]

@@MultiCamdaddy True. Dio had pipes like nobody else. He wouldn't have fit in with Crue, though.

[@lanemeyer9350]

Vince’s high and clean voice mixed with the tuned low and filthy Crue music is their sound

[@kingcharles1987]

Ken, was wondering if we could get a a tutorial/isolated track/& how to sing like JOHN MELLENCAMP, (not sure if you have one for him or not) but I truly think his voice is over-looked, very soulful, his songs are great, the emotion/attitude he puts into his songs. One of the best singers out there.

[@Nichwar19]

I cant imagine anyone but Vince singing Kickstart. Say whatever you want about his performances but he has a very energetic and unique voice. Good video Ken 🤘

[@irocitZ]

I cant imagine it either, I've seen Vince solo a lot of times over the years, off the top of my head maybe a dozen times. Most if not all the time I'm close to the stage, they've all been great shows. I have a feeling that the people who criticize or complain about Vince most likely haven't been to many concerts, they see a clip on here and pass judgment. It's much different when you're actually at a live show in person. Personally, even if someone was to have an off night or foget a line or two occasionally I could care less. Shit happens, no one is perfect all the time.

[@JovinMyHeart4Eva]

Thanks absolutely correct Hank!

[@cc8751]

Vince Neil is the last person who I would like to sing like, but the vid was great as always👍

[@alveryguiler5740]

Love Vince or hate him whatever, but I can't imagine Mötley Crüe without him I've seen them live several times and they've always kicked major ass. never once been have I been disappointed. 🤟.

[@OriginalWhiteDevil]

Im old enough to have seen the Crue on the Feel Good tour with Warrant as the opening band at the Hampton Coliseum. Vince sounded good and nothing like he does now.

[@Ibaneddie76]

Vince wishes in his wildest wet dreams that he sounded as good as Ken🤣Where were you in 81 Ken the band needed you!

[@lcruz2783]

Freaking awesome, yes I agree he is not the best but he is the Voice of Motley Crue, this is my favorite band and great to see this video. Thanks again

[@nickmelara78]

Vince, much like Stephen Pearcy is more of a vocal stylist than a singer. To me, he is a combination of Robin Zander and David Lee Roth. If you want to hear a more gruff/bluesy voice singing motley than just listen to Corabi on their 94 tour. Vince had that blonde surfer Cali vibe that worked perfectly as the yin to the other member's yang.

[@Hanzey1966]

John Corabi : a THOUSAND time the Vocalist Vince Neil would EVER Be ! !

[@PeachWNK]

Robin Zander?? Robin has a great voice! Tonight It’s You really shows it.

[@annedombroski7064]

The girls sounded great on these songs. Vince has had his troubles over the year, but there is something about those four (Mick, Nikki, Tommy, Vince) that just worked.

[@marchuk4677]

I think Vince needs help to sounds like Vince 🤷‍♂️🙄😋

[@pjo1964]

Love to hear Rob Halford do Motley Crue

[@timothyholmes4588]

Nobody can sound like Vince not the best singer but his tone was pure platinum

[@grahamyoung3433]

I don't think anyone would want to sound like Vince.

[@graylad]

Ken, I never thought I could sing but my wife told me that my voice wasn't bad at all. So I started singing along to karaoke KZbin channels. I sucked. Then I found your KZbin channel and started employing your methods. Fast forward about a year and a half. I'm ready to go public. Not professionally, but for fun. And that's just from your KZbin channel!

Awesome!

Ken Tamplin: Though I have no interest in becoming a singer, I love watching your videos and technique. I can see you are a great coach that cares. Also, it's too bad you were not the lead singer in Motely Crue, or any other band for that manner. I absolutely appreciate you!

Can you teach Vince Neil to sing like Vince Neil ? ............... I think that he needs more help these days than the rest of us innit

[@jeffschielka7845]

Hey Ken! Not a huge Crue fan, but from what I understand Vince's vocals are fried. Nothing lasts forever. 😎

[@michaelhalbert3843]

For years. And years. When I find a good parking spot I refer to it as "Vince Neil Parking". He was the ultimate rock star back in the day.

[@larryblumerjr]

Vince found ways to be successful, time and time again. He brought his A-game in the studio and had one hell of a run selling albums in the 80's. In interviews, Vince describes how arduous and painful the recording process was for him. So, I don't think he was very interested in recreating that vocal booth experience on tour. Motley concerts are parties with all the fans invited, and Vince does like to party. There are amazing sights in addition to the amazing sounds. I believe Vince perhaps sees himself more as a cog in the Motley machine than a spotlighted vocal performer. I haven't heard many reports of him no-showing or flaking out at concerts over the decades, he again found success in that role. These long tours necessitated the need to preserve the voice, and Vince has found ways to do that in his own way.

[@joshuaansley1361]

You gotta do Blackie Lawless, "Heavens hung in black, or Wild Child or Golgotha.

Vince Neil in the studio is fine. Live is another story. That goes for a whole lot of singers, especially in heavy rock or metal where the energy is often way too high to be any good really lol. If you grew up with Too Fast For love, and you listen to it today, you can't imagine that stuff being the same without Vince.

[@in2livinit]

I have said this before, you're monologue is well setup, and explains alot. I think alot of these people commenting don't watch the whole video. Excellent teaching and singing. You are no spry chicken, but you can hit every note with perfect vocalizations, if not superior than the original. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent.

Very informative, I think part of Vinces appeal (outside of his being a great frontman) is that sort of accent that makes that high pitch of his work.

I’ve always been torn about Vince Neil. He seemed to fit the high energy of the band. To me he’s a little taste of what Axl Rose would bring with the singing really small through his face. Thanks for the video. That’s fun!

[@Sean-si1qk]

Axl Rose is the GOAT, Vince is good but nowhere close to Axl

[@crunchtime6686]

If you haven't done one of these for Meatloaf yet, I'd suggest that. If you do you gotta cover his version of the national anthem in 94' at the ASG.

Hey Ken with all sincerity though could you do some of the music the John Corabi did with motley Crue? Sadly I think that record they did together was woefully underrated and a lot of that just had to do with the time and the fact that it’s a motley Crue on the record. I thought John Corabis vocals were amazing on that record. The tone and grit, just awesome. Til Death do is Part, misunderstood and drift away are some standouts. Thanks Ken!

As such, I have to take issue that your comment that "you might even sound better than the original." Even you, a clearly talented singer (in your very own studio, mind you) don't sound better than Vince's recorded vocals. Just my own opinion. For what it's worth, I really enjoy your videos, including this one.

Vince Neil sounded cool fun times back in the 80’s

[@jeffg.3250]

Vince is a terrible live singer now, but in the late 80s through the early 90s, he was as good as anyone. Live or in the studio. People don't care about technical ability, they care about the style and how cool the voice sounds for the music. And in those areas, he was untouchable and without him I highly doubt Motley Crue would've become one of the biggest bands in the world. I absolutely love his voice on record. Today, in concert, that's an entirely different story.
