It’s a TWO-FER on Episode 198 of Rock Roulette, we dive into Vince Neil’s Exposed — the debut solo album packed with big hooks, loud guitars, and enough swagger to fill the Sunset Strip twice over.

Did Vince prove he could stand on his own outside of Mötley Crüe? We’re breaking it all down track by track!

Exposed is the debut solo album of Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil following his exit from the band in 1992. It was released in 1993 and reached No. 13 on the US Billboard 200 chart.

The album was recorded at the Record Plant in Los Angeles in 1992. Neil titled the album Exposed because he thought of the album as his moment in the spotlight, no longer being a member of Mötley Crüe.

Neil’s manager, Bruce Bird, died of a brain aneurysm during the recording. Neil later hired Burt Stein.
