A veteran rocker of more than 30 years, Neil has been the boisterous front man for Motley Crue, one of the most well-known rock bands in history Neil’s latest solo effort, “Tattoos & Tequila,” has received rave reviews and his autobiography of the same title is a best seller. Motley Crue has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide and Neil has been at the forefront of that extreme lifestyle while performing classic hits like, “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Kickstart My Heart,” and “Dr. Feelgood.” Neil has long enjoyed a special relationship with the racing community and he jumped at the opportunity to perform in front of a huge audience at the Texas Motorplex. “This is a perfect marriage between Vince Neil and the excitement of ADRL drag racing,” promoter Gabe Reed said. “Both are all about living life to the limit and having a good time.”

Now in its sixth year, the ADRL is widely recognized as the nation’s premier sanctioning body for the sport of eighth-mile drag racing thanks to its innovative business model. Drag racing is regarded as one of the fastest growing sports in the world and the ADRL is at the forefront of that movement. Its unique complimentary ticket approach has led to unprecedented growth and capacity crowds at each of the 10 events on its annual national tour, and mixing rock n’ roll and drag racing is sure to attract a raucous crowd. “It’s going to be great for fans to experience all the memorable ADRL action and one of the greatest rock n’ roll legends during the same weekend,” ADRL President and CEO Kenny Nowling. “By adding Vince Neil to the already amazing entertainment package the ADRL has to offer, this is sure to be one of the most sought after tickets in entertainment history, and they’re free!”

Gabe Reed Productions is pleased to announce the signing of dance sensation D'Manti. More announcements will be forthcoming regarding a new album and tour.

MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil attended the KISS concert Friday night (August 20) at the PNC Bank Center in Holmdel, New Jersey. Neil had a night off from the Ozzfest tour and was invited by promoter Gabe Reed to attend the show. Also in attendance was Lady Gaga. Both Neil and Lady Gaga watched the show from the soundboard, which created a spectacle for fans in attendance.

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has previously referred to Lady Gaga as "the female version" of his group, saying "I love the vibe, the big mouth and the big visuals. She's the most exciting thing to happen since us."

Dallas, TX, June 19, 2010 --(PR.com)-- United States based promoter Gabe Reed Productions has reached an agreement with Beijing based Sports Window to be its partner of choice to promote concerts by western artists at the Worker’s Stadium Entertainment complex in Beijing, China. The complex includes the 60,000 seat Worker’s Stadium and the 12,000 seat Worker’s Gymnasium Arena. Both venues were official sites of the 2006 Beijing Olympics. Sports Window is the official operator of both venues and will participate as a co-promoter in all events promoted by Gabe Reed Productions. Gabe Reed Productions previously reached an agreement with China based Citic Gouan to present concerts in Beijing who will also participate as a co-promoter of the concerts presented at the Worker's complex venues. Gabe Reed commented “we look forward to working closely with our partners in China to bring major concerts to Beijing and eventually across China.”

Gabe Reed Productions has been successful in promoting major international concerts around the world including the opening night of KISS’ sold out stadium tour of South America.

Vince was set to take off for Mexico for his first solo show Friday, but promoters called it off because of the country’s continuing drug gang violence and shootouts that have made headlines and TV newscasts in recent days.

“It was a fear not only for Vince’s safety but also for the fans,” said visibly upset promoter Gabe Reed. “We looked at this long and hard and evaluated it from every possible angle. We determined that the current security situation in Monterrey was unstable. We decided it was not worth putting anyone at risk.”

The concerts would have been the final dates of Vince’s South American tour in advance of his new album Tattoos & Tequila. Stops on the Tattoos & Tequila Tour in other Latin American countries went off without any problems.

We posted a Vince Neil Aviation launch story and photo gallery yesterday. While the fate of a Motley Crue: Crue Fest 3 Tour is up in the air and not expected to resume until 2011, Vince is embarking on a series of solo concert dates in the U.S. with his Vince Neil Band.

After four super-successful concerts in four countries in four days, rock superstar Vince Neil was en route home to Las Vegas yesterday from his South American tour that included his first-ever appearance in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Each one of the stops – Sao Paulo; Santiago, Chile; Santa Cruz, Bolivia; and Buenos Aires, Argentina -- was a sell-out concert.

Tour promoter Gabe Reed commented: “The response by the fans to this tour was amazing. We had sold-out shows at each stop, and Vince was in great form. Now we are off to spend some beach time in Aruba!”

Before Vince left for south of the border, he celebrated his birthday not only with a private dinner at N9NE Steakhouse in the Palms, but also with a mini-concert at his off-Strip Feelgood’s Rock Bar & Grill. He posted a YouTube video of the Vince Neil Band playing the Motley Crue classic “Don’t Go Away Mad, Just Go Away.”

Vince’s new solo album Tattoos & Tequila is set for release in early May. The title track with its accompanying video are now available for free download at VinceNeil.net. Included on the CD will be covers of The Sex Pistols’ “No Feelings” and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Who’ll Stop the Rain.” Vince was in the studio recording session with drummer Zoltan Chaney and Slaughter musicians Dana Strum and Jeff Blando.

Vegas DeLuxe reported previously that Vince explained the album is titled Tattoos & Tequila after the two main passions of his life. He has two Vince Ink tattoo salons here, with plans to expand across the country, and he imports a tequila brand from Mexico for national distribution.

Same Ole Situation

After almost eight minutes, Neil returned to continue honoring Zep, with a version of "Rock and roll" to the delight of all fans of the pioneering English band. A trio of songs - each one more singing - would put the true finishing touch to the evening: "Kickstart My Heart", "Girls, girls, girls" and "Wild Side" (I do not think there could have been better seal that .) There was no encore, and many - not all - we were left with the desire to continue to enjoy a good rock show like few others. At least two other songs were included in the setlist, but the problems of monitoring, would have made Vince and his band decided to shorten the presentation.

It was the first time a real 'rockstar' visit Bolivia (please do not tell me that He was of this caliber, for more excellent singer who is, was always more low-profile) and I am happy for having been part of experience ...Those who were not, they lost a unique (even for culture should be seen) and I hope it serves to encourage other groups to bring fame to our country less and less rock.

After the real soap opera in which the filing became the vocalist of Mötley Crüe in our country, with the uncertainty, until the last minute, whether Vince Neil would act in Santiago, finally took place on a concert singer of clusters Glam rock's greatest. Really a shame that the support band, Devil Presley and Garden Bitch, not submitted by problems related to the production of the concert, since they would have been a perfect lead for the main course.

The show of California on Wednesday night, is the closest we have been able to be the fans to appreciate the power of the themes of Motley Crue live after it was presented in Argentina in 2008, at the Pepsi Fest, not crossing the Andes for a performance in our country.

But let himself into the show: at 22 o'clock the lights go out in a crowded theater Caupolicán sector only in his court, and the strains of "For Those About to Rock" from the classic AC / DC, echoing in the room. He then heard in the lines off of Jules Winnfield (Pulp Fiction Classics, who recited the passage from the Bible before killing his target), for musicians appear on stage and start with "Live Wire", clasicazo of the Crüe, and the response was not long in coming: the audience jumped elated with this great easy to continue without pause with "Dr. Feelgood "two great songs in less than five minutes! The Caupolicán fell apart and he's only started the concert!

Vince, very excited, greeted the attendees, thanking you for coming. First time in Chile, and the public has remarked, chanting his name. "Piece of my action" and "Looks That Kill", they sound great, with a great performance of the musicians who accompany Vince. Special mention to the drummer, who in a histrionic performance, captured the attention of those present.

Actually, the setlist was a success after another. "Same old situation" marked one of the flashpoints of the night with a Caupolicán doing palms to the sound of this classic 80, which would lead to the surprise of the night: Vince Neil leaves the stage and the band plays "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin, with a vocal quality of his guitar, followed by "Heaven & ell" court of the legendary Black Sabbath with Dio on stage voices, and close again with the classic Zeppelin.

Vince Neil looks back on the scene and soak up the rock of yore, and performs, guitar in hand, "Rock and Roll" by Led Zeppelin. In its 49 years, the singer has a very good vocal quality, achieving a very sharp shape.

"Kickstart My Heart" continues the party, to start the final stage with "Girls, girls, girls", and closing with "Wild Side". Vince thanked the Chilean public to retire for five minutes and come back for one last issue: "Teaser" that was lengthened, and in which the band took charge of distributing Join, memory sticks and how attendees could cherish as real "trophies War "concert.

After about an hour and a half show, the group finally says goodbye, visibly grateful and happy to have played in Chile. It is hoped that Mr. Vince Neil, in the near future, we are delighted with Motley Crue and we appreciate the quality of one of the greatest glam rock bands of the world. Wednesday night was great, but we hope the Crue in our country some day. Hopefully soon.

Along with the success, good Vince also collapsed in the excesses of his rock star status. Drugs, alcohol, women and fights were on par with his victory in the record stores, radio and the stage. He became addicted, he "grabbed" publicly with Axl Rose at the point of reaching challenges in the ring, he went with what "playmate" crossed his path and he came in the 90th, where he went for a moment of the band to make inroads for the first time as a soloist. In the only album where the group does not participate, was replaced by John Corabi.

Now assume that you are recovered from all these evils. His visit, interestingly, coincides with that of his former enemy, Axl Rose, which comes with the new lineup of Guns n 'Roses in March, just days after its filing. By the way, confirms that it will be a very auspicious start to the year for rock in the national billboard. And the aforementioned Metallica Guns n 'Roses are already on the table. For the more extreme side, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Overkill and Municipal Waste also arrive between January and March, giving hard metal. On the side of not so heavy guitars, Franz Ferdinand and The Cranberries are noted as important visits for the first months of the year.

MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil is planning a tour of South America and Mexico in February 2010. The trek — which has confirmed stops in Brazil, Argentina and Chile, with more countries and dates to be announced soon — is being organized by Gabe Reed Productions, which also promoted the opening night of the KISS Alive 35 South America tour in Santiago, Chile on April 3, 2009.

One of the tracks being laid down during the sessions is a cover version of the CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL classic "Who'll Stop The Rain?" An April release is expected.

In a recent interview with The News Tribune, Vince stated about the upcoming CD's title, "It's rock 'n' roll. That's it. It has nothing to do with MÖTLEY CRÜE. Tattoos and tequila is basically my life."

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Neil is also writing a book akin to MÖTLEY's autobiography, "The Dirt", with Esquire writer Mike Sager.
