This is not a Motley Crue concert. And as such, people should not expect the same level of professionalism — or sobriety — from the band’s frontman Vince Neil when he hits the stage at Cowboys tonight.

In fact, Neil says if he wants to get downright loaded, forget the words and stumble around while shouting unrecognizable lyrics, that’s probably what’s going to happen.

As was the case Friday when the aging rocker got so drunk he fell off the stage while performing in Tampa, Fla.

Ex-Motley Crue singer John Corabi, who is touring with Ratt, saved the day when he came on stage and performed with Neil, who admits his words, at that point, were mostly just mumblings.

“I was pretty buzzed. I tripped, fell off (the stage) — sometimes it happens,” he says.

“But, this isn’t a tour. This is just me going out and having fun and sometimes, yeah, I drink a little too much. That’s just the way it is.”

And as for those not-so-flattering reviews of that show, Neil says after 25 years of being bashed in the media for everything from drug addiction to a fatal car wreck that landed him in jail, he couldn’t care less.

That’s because, he adds, no matter what has been said about him, he continues to lead one of the biggest rock bands in the world.

“I just finished 185 shows with Motley Crue, so one show in Tampa where I drank a little too much — whoopdie-doo.

“I am still doing my shows and I’m going to record another Motley Crue album and then be back out on tour — by then nobody’s really going to care anymore.”

While Neil cannot make any promises on what fans can expect from him (in terms of his sobriety or lack thereof) at the show tonight, he does guarantee an entertaining show full of Motley Crue hits, AC/DC tunes, a Led Zeppelin tribute and a few of his own songs.

“It’s a little bit of everything — just old time rock ‘n’ roll and some songs from my solo records. We don’t approach it too seriously — we just approach it as going out and having fun.”

One Nine Hundred, whose drummer Harvey Warren filled in for Tommy Lee (after his tendonitis made it difficult for him to perform) during a Motley Crue concert in Red Deer in April, is opening for Neil tonight.

And, although the band has not used Warren again, Neil says he’s extremely talented.

“We didn’t really know (Warren), but we heard of him so we had him brought in from Calgary,” he explains. “He filled in really, really well. It was very cool — he did a great, great job.”

On top of performing, Neil is spending his summer opening a tattoo parlor at the Flamingo Hotel and a nightclub at the Rio Casino Hotel in Las Vegas.

In the fall, he and the rest of Motley Crue will be joining Aerosmith on the Route of All Evil tour, which begins Sept. 14 in New Jersey.

While fans will be thrilled the band is setting out on yet another tour (which Neil believes will stop in Calgary in October or November), the members of Lee’s new band Supernova, which is seeking to find a lead singer through CBS’ reality series Rock Star this summer, might be left behind.

“The Supernova thing really has nothing to do with Motley Crue. It’s not like (Lee) is putting a band together — he’s just a judge,” he says.

Whether Neil is correct and Lee has no intention of actually being a part of Supernova or misinformed and Lee is, in fact, starting up a new band, remains to be seen.

But one thing is certain — Motley Crue comes first.

“We’re actually going to be writing a lot of music out on the road and should have an album out late next year,” he says. “We’re not ever going away.”
