Somehow one wouldn’t associate the rock world’s top rebels with the strict authoritarian measures in place in Russia, but there was our hometown hero Vince Neil along with Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars at a Moscow press conference.

It’s a fascinating look via YouTube of the rockers talking in their expected rowdy rock style to the Russian media this week. They headline there today.

The band revealed that they will add a second stage to the upcoming Crue Fest 2 tour, so there’s no break between music acts, and that they will perform their classic 1989 album Dr. Feelgood in its entirety.

Vince will be back in town from the Eastern European leg of the current tour for the opening of his new Dr. Feelgood bar and club, and the band headlines Crue Fest at The Rogue Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel on Aug. 1.
