In 1983 (see 1983 in music), M?tley Cr?e released Shout at the Devil, a blockbuster success that established the band as one of the biggest acts of the 1980s. After a tour with Ozzy Osbourne, Neil was in a drunk driving accident near Redondo Beach, California. One of the passengers, Razzle (Nicholas Dingley), the drummer of Hanoi Rocks, died.

With Steve Stevens, (formerly with Billy Idol), Dave Marshall, Robbie Crane, and Vik Foxx, Neil began a solo career which quickly petered out, and he was asked to rejoin the flailing M?tley Cr?e in 1997 (see 1997 in music). Despite the departure of Tommy Lee, M?tley Cr?e released New Tattoo in 2000 (see 2000 in music).
