Motley Crue finished off the 80’s in fine form with the hugely successful record 1989's Dr. Feelgood. As the 90s were about to start there was a lot of eyes on the band. What would they do next? Well the simple answer is implode. Stay tuned to find out the full story.
After some time off, and a huge seismic shift in rock music with alternative rock dethroning hair metal, Motley Crue reassembled in February of 1992 to work on their follow up to Dr. Feelgood.
From the getgo singer Vince Neil wasn’t clicking with his bandmates and On February 10, 1992 the band held a meeting to fire Neil. 3 days later the band released a statement claiming he’d left because his hobby of car racing had as they put it ‘become a priority in his life.’ Bassist Nikki Sixx would clarify the real reason Neil had left the band claiming that his drinking was taking it’s toll on the band saying. "Except for Mick, we were all slipping off the wagon, but Vince was the only one who was letting it affect his work,". he was holding us back."

And Neil would appear on Dennis Miller’s talk show and claim the whole incident was a shock to them as you can see here.

Two days after my birthday so happy birthday Vince. Jesus well i don’t understand now did you all come in at the same time so everyone has an equal vote. 25% input in everything so75% voted me out i was the 25% see it’s weird ofr little kids across America that business. They think that you and Tommy hang off the roofs at night. They are great guys and they had to do what they thought they had to do. Do they have any idea of who they are going to replace you with. I heard they are auditioning people right now. Well see. I don’t know.

A year later neil talked to the LA Times and shed some more light on why he left the band citing creative differences. Neil claimed he would’ve seen things through had he been given a chance, but he wasn’t. revealing to the Times

"We had been rehearsing for a few months but we didn't do any recording," "It just wasn't sounding good to me. I'm not a blues singer and Motley is a rock band – not a blues band. I think it's a stupid idea that will alienate the fans. I would have tried the blues thing and tried to put my own spin on it, but I never got the chance." The album is stupid. The keyboards you're putting on the album make us sound like

Following his departure Neil was offered a solo artist deal with elektra records, the same
label that motley crue was signed too, but he wasn’t happy with the money they offered. At the end of the day Neil would sign a solo deal with Warner Brothers and Neil at one point claimed to be offered a chance to work with fellow musicians from other groups and that opportunity inspired his debut single for the 1992 film Encino Man titled, "You're Invited But Your Friend Can't Come ,"The track was co-written with Damn Yankees members Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw.

He would go on to tell the LA Times about his new career change becoming a solo artist saying "This is like starting a new career – dealing with all those insecurities," But I think I can deal with them." He would also address motley crue’s statement about his departure stating "Despite what everybody heard, it had nothing to do with me choosing racing over music," Neil said. "That was the announcement the band put out and that's all some people ever heard."

And Neil would assemble a band that include Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens and began work on his debut record, 1993’s Exposed, which had an impressive debut peaking at number 13 on the billboard album charts. To support the record Neil would open for Van Halen and Motley Crue seemed like a distant memory with Neil telling the LA Times "I haven't talked to those guys since it happened," I don't really care if I talk to them again."
The remaining members meanwhile of MOtley Crue would audition new singers including a rumored try out with Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach. The band would recruit frontman John Corabi, who fronted the band Scream. With a new singer in tow they would hit the studio and the end result would be their self titled album coming out in 1994 which arrived half a decade since their last release. The album was the group’s first release since they signed a massive 25 million dollar deal with Elektra records.
