Decades Later: Michael Monroe and Vince Neil Meet for the First Time.

Former Hanoi Rocks singer Michael Monroe met Motley Crue's Vince Neil in person for the first time at a festival in Finland. The meeting was described as "one of the most important moments" of Monroe's life. Hanoi Rocks and Motley Crue have a longstanding history, albeit a bit of a rocky one. Neil was charged with vehicular manslaughter and a DUI after getting into a car accident in December of 1984, which killed Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley at the age of 24.
