Vince Neil – That Time He Called Marq Torien of BULLETBOYS a “Beaner”

With his once great rock legacy seemingly now flushed down the toilet, Vince Neil needs to change his bad attitude, according to several sources. The epic tales of temper tantrums thrown by the vocalist over the years against his own bandmates alone should be enough to inform everyone as to the Empire State Building sized ego we’re dealing with here.

But it goes much deeper, and fans are now learning that Neil has been a much different man all along.

 In a 2020 interview on the Chuck Shute Podcast, BulletBoys singer Marq Torien alleges that Motley Crue members called him racial slurs when they first met. Sadly, the main person to blame for the racial hatred attack toward Marq was none other than Vince Neil.

Torien who grew up in East Los Angeles says that his first ever meeting with Motley Crue was outside the Rainbow Bar & Grill.

The BulletBoys singer says he saw Vince Neil standing outside the club leaning against a brick wall and told Torien: 

“Hey, beaner go home. We don’t need beaners in Hollywood, go home. Get the f#ck out of here.”

Torien says he became immediately offended and replied: “What the f#ck did you just say?”

“You heard what I said.” Neil shouted back claims Torien.

As the story goes, Torien then says a taller dark haired guy with bangs walked up and stated: “You heard what he f#cking said, we don’t need beaners in Hollywood. You need to go home wetback, get the F#ck out of here beaner.”

Torien says the second guy to say it was Nikki Sixx.

The group was arguing back and forth and it was described by Torien that there was tension there between Motley Crue and his friends.

Just as it was getting heated a 3rd man showed up.

Torien adds: “Out of nowhere, comes Tommy Lee. Whoa, whoa, what the f#ck man. Stop. Hey man, hey dude, this guy is cool. I know this guy, he’s in a great band, he plays the Troub and stuff.”

Torien says that it was Tommy Lee who stopped the near fight between Torien, his friends and Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx.

During the near 2 hour interview Torien speaks at length about his audition for Ozzy, his association with Ratt, and his audition for Motley Crue many years later after Vince Neil was fired.
