VINCE NEIL Interviewed At Sweden's SONISPHERE Festival - Aug. 10, 2010

CrankItUp.se conducted an interview with MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil at the Swedish installment of this year's Sonisphere festival, which was held this past Saturday (August 7) at Stora Skuggan Park in Stockholm. You can now watch the chat below.

Neil, 49, was arrested on June 27 in Las Vegas, Nevada on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. The singer was also allegedly involved in an incident in front of a Hilton Hotel where a fan said her camera was broken. Police are investigating that incident.

Neil spoke to The Associated Press on June 22 about his tell-all book due out in September and claimed that he hadn't used drugs in 20 years, and had stopped abusing alcohol.

"There's just a point in your life where you kind of stop, that's what happened with me," the singer said. "That was like three years ago. There's other things in life than just drugs and alcohol. I haven't touched drugs in 20 years. You grow out of that. Or hopefully, you grow out of it."

Neil said he admired the sobriety of some of the top performers today.

"Those are the guys that are doing it right," he said. "It's the ones that self-destruct with the drugs and alcohol that have gone by the wayside many years ago."

Neil added, "It's funny because somebody asked me, 'Is it weird being sober in a band?' and I go, 'Well, the thing is, you look at all the top bands that are still out there, most of those guys are sober."
