The Heavy Motley Crue Song Vince Neil Wants Back in the Set

During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with host Eddie Trunk, Vince Neil revealed which Motley Crue song he wants back in the set for the first time in over 10 years.

A band well-known for their litany of hits, Motley Crue’s setlists are often reflective of just that. There are 11 songs the band has performed over 1,000 times and the one Neil wants falls a couple hundred shy of that tally.

The answer came when his bandmate, guitarist John 5, called into the show. He even lobbed a question toward his singer, asking, “Is there any song that we don’t play that you would want to play live?”

Singling out a track Crue have not played since reuniting, Neil offers, “I always liked the song ‘Red Hot.'” “Me too!” John 5 enthuses, sharing a similar affinity for the speedy Shout at the Devil track.

“We used to do it,” Neil adds, “I’m sure, John, you know it. You know the song. We could start rehearsing it right before the show and he’d get it and we’d get it. It’s a fun song.”

The question is then flipped back on John 5, who is smitten with the entire ’80s catalog. “Anything off Too Fast For Love or Shout at the Devil or Theatre of Pain or Girls Girls Girls or Dr. Feelgood (laughs). Any of those, I’d love to do. That’d be great,” he muses.
