Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil to stay in Abu Dhabi after the concert



In a video where Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx talk about their upcoming show in Abu Dhabi, Neil says he’s intending to stick around for a while afterwards. “It’s actually the last date of the European tour, so I know most of us, well I know me, are going to hang around for a while and check it out,” the band’s vocalist says.

They also promised fans a show they have never experienced before, with Neil saying that on this tour they are bringing the biggest show they have ever done. “We’re bringing over Tommy’s drum thing, which is a 200-foot roller-coaster.” As if this wasn’t enough he also promised never before seen pyrotechnics. “We’ve pretty much got the whole kitchen sink in there,” says bassist Sixx.

To see why else the band are looking forward to their visit watch the video here
