Review:
This is the freshman outing from, at the time, ex-Motley Crue front man Vince Neil. Vince put together a stellar band with good credentials, some members having played with artists such as Billy Idol and Fiona Flanagan.
Exposed features such hard rockers as "Sister Of Pain", "The Edge" and the debut single "You're Invited (But Your Friend Can't Come). There are the two ballads "Can't Change Me" and "Forever", as well as a cool cover of Sweet's "Set Me Free". The music on Exposed is in the same vein as Motley Crue, the rockers are chock full of sleaze and loud guitars while the ballads have a wistful feel to them. Unfortunately with the influx of grunge and Vince's daughter Skylar passing away in 1995, this would be Vince's last commercially successful release. Exposed easily gets two thumbs up from me!
