a third of this album should have been cut out
there is nothing wrong with a shorter, more concise experience from an album

09 Aug 2020: Vince Neil/"Tattoos and Tequila" (2010)

the trick to including covers on your album is one of the following:
1. make the cover different and unique
2. take a song by a singer with a horrible voice and give it a good voice instead

i'd rather just listen to the sweet than vince neil's cover, and it's a bad idea to make you straight-up want to listen to something else
nobody's fault is slightly less annoying than aerosmith's version so i guess that's okay? but the rest of the song is just worse
vince neil's voice is not cool enough for long cool woman in a black dress
and there's no way fucking vince neil stands up to john fogerty
and there's NO FUCKING WAY vince neil stands up to GODDAMN ELVIS (to be fair though his viva las vegas has some nice metal instrumentation)
and, finally, just listen to elton john
