Mick Mars is Motley Crue..Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil were lucky to have had such a talented and cool guitarist as Mick .

[@DavidZupec]

TRUTH!!!

[@danacoleman4007]

pretty sure Nikki wrote the songs

[@fatsuperfly]

He got them to where they are, he is amazing! Still love em, he is just those musician that you look up 2 and he is humble.

[@antmerritt]

🙌

[@kevinknight8889]

​@@danacoleman4007😂...you can believe what you want to...trust this...Mick wrote the music..He had the name..He created the tone Sound of the band..Sixx had drive and vision...it came together as a great band..

[@Malama_Ki]

We all get old and we all die of something. This man has lived 1000 lives in one. Cheers Mick, we love ya brother.

[@elucas3975]

Damn straight!

[@guyconnell2250]

The average person cannot imagine the utter physical suffering that patients with ankylosing spondylitis endure over decades as well as the insidious remodeling, fusing, and permanent deforming of the spine. Mick deserves all the credit in the world for his musical footprint, we all should know that. But I give him more credit for his ability to carry on and even thrive in spite of the AS.

[@KylieOlsson]

well said Guy! kylie x

[@user-xk9md4yf9j]

It can be absolute hell. I was diagnosed with it last year at the age of 50. It isn't uncommon for it to go undiagnosed for a long time. I have two forms of it, axial and peripheral, one affects mainly the spine, the other spreads out into the knees, hands and feet. It is a daily battle with pain and chronic fatigue, you start to feel like a burden on people sometimes. I still play guitar, although it is more of a challenge, barre chords are replaced by mostly triads, which was actually interesting to learn, you have to adapt to it in any way that you can.

[@user-cm4bg7zz6e]

Loved the video..mick never gave up no matter what..a very strong man..he is awesome..I couldn't imagine the pain he has endured but rocked through it making beautiful music..great job mick..

[@kenedie4646]

Mick has suffered with this for decades, and those fuckers kicked him out of the band.

[@Wangavision]

I have AS and Mick is my yardstick to measure what is possible. He's an inspiration.

[@KylieOlsson]

thats lovely to hear that he is an inspiration to you... I saw how much pain he is in and how its taken over his body to my thoughts go out to you...xKylie x

[@Illcastashadow1]

I love how Mick becomes himself when they start talking about his guitars

[@jimfry2748]

Mick Mars WAS MOTLEY! Without his guitar work it wouldn’t have happened, and he did it while suffering from AS, god bless ya mick we love ya!

[@Andrew-qc9xw]

Hearing Mick talk about his AS was heart wrenching. It’s such an evil disease. When he speaks of how his band mates didn’t understand what he was going through, he summed up the isolation of the suffering this disease places on a person. Unless you have it (or any disease for that matter), you cannot truly understand what a person is going through and tasks that seem simple to anyone else can be traumatic for a sufferer. All power to Mick for what he has achieved through adversity.

[@4tinfaces]

Man-Mick-if you read this-man I am so sorry you’re had to deal with this horrible horrible disease; I’ve gotta say I have huge respect for the power you have to conquer a career, family, pain, more pain-the falling, the getting back up, making appointments, appearing in front of the world in a body that feels like a 40 lb cinder block hanging from a strap around your head. It’s incredible what you’ve overcome. Let’s just leave the success in an industry alone. Achieving that success is almost impossible; but try doing it with constant pain, I’m gobsmacked. I thought I had achieved things with my body problems. I have but to see an insight into what it’s like for you. Dude: my hat is off to you. I’m not a Motley “fan” guy-(don’t get me wrong-I like the guitar tone and playing) (they’re not in my “favorites “ on Apple Music) I’m fan of people who in the face of enormous adversity have the heart of a lion and push past that to have a life of accomplishment-what ever that is to them. You are that man-one of the few I’ve known of.

[@shawncosmos5431]

Well stated. Agreed

[@tomshaug]

Thanks for the great work Mick, and Kylie for giving us a chance to spend time with a cool gentle soul

[@KylieOlsson]

thank you Tom.... so pleased you liked it and you are right, he is a gentle soul that people need to see more of as he isn't anything like how you think he is going to be.

[@Horner219]

Mick, if you read this…..you’re the best! Love ya!

[@mikekatz7980]

Hi, its me, Mick - thanks so much for you comment bro.

[@Sams911]

@@mikekatz7980 if it really is you... right behind Ace Frehley, Angus Young, Eddy Van Halen is you... MicK! play guitar because of you 4! PS.. my sister briefly dated Tommy... what a douche .. you carried that fucking band 110%

[@jjcollins]

Absolute legend! Not only is he one of the greatest players to ever walk the face of the earth, but what he has accomplished while fighting that horrible disease is absolutely phenomenal! Fantastic video, thank you so much for posting!

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

I consider he as the next gen of heavy metal guitarist after Tony Iommi. Tony created the heavy riffs, and Mick took it to another level.

[@chrisrice963]

Kylie made this interview work.. Such positive beautiful vibes allowed Mick to actually open up and discuss several issues besides only the guitar.. He looks super frail now, maybe that fresh Tennessee air, life will help his journey.. He was sneakily checking out your beauty and probably thought, man if this was back in the day I'd give it go look too 😅 Thanks again

[@KylieOlsson]

thank you Chris! He is such a lovely guy and is in so much pain so pleased that you noticed I tried to show a side of Mick that we don't usually see. Kylie x

[@tonymichaels5592]

Along with my uncle, Mick is the reason I've spent my life learning guitar. What an incredible human being Mr. Mars is.

[@lucabrasi5070]

What a super nice guy. It’s obvious that it’s very difficult for him. He has to bend his knees and lean back just to look her in the eyes, but he’s polite and pleasant anyway. Mick was the sound of the Crue.

[@mikebassy]

Mick is totally up there in the legends people place ! He rocks in a massive way . And right here a gentleman opened his door . He is very important in rock and music . God bless him

[@user-xy4pc1pg9s]

Mick was a huge inspiration to pick up the guitar so happy you interviewed him!

[@streetlevel4996]

Saw your video on KZbin and may God Richly Bless you and may Jesus Christ show you His GREAT love that He has for each of YOU ❤️ Just ask Him to show you personally His Love as He did to me years ago 😊

[@craigschulz1852]

Mick, thank you for allowing us peons to see you perform. I saw you in Edmonton, Alberta for the Stadium Tour. It was a great concert. Take care & God Bless!

[@paulbedford5526]

LEGEND...end of story!

[@KylieOlsson]

i agree! Kylie

[@gtrsean2429]

I've never been a Motley fan. They came out when I was in high school. As a guitar player too even back then I was impressed with his guitar tone/sound. That guitar sound really did create an identity for Motley Crue. BTW, Mick really did name the band. I only have respect for one member of that band. Mick. He was and is badass. 🤘

[@freemenofengland2880]

Great video - I see Motley Crue in a whole new way after watching this.

[@KylieOlsson]

Thank you... kylie x

[@Sams911]

He seems struck by her beauty, bit nervous, but doing a damn good job staying a gentleman ... he can be her grand father

[@jlobiafra]

Watch the episode with nuno benttencourt, he's so flirting with her

[@ltjoseph9042]

Another backhanded compliment.

[@Eirene30]

Motley Crew as we know them, loved and will forever admire is Mick Mars. The sound is purely 100% Mick Mars! Thank you Mr Mars🔥🥹🙏🫶

[@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid]

Glad he won his case against the other members of the Band. They tried to cut him out ! A founding member, and the only great part of the band. He was different and really unique, rocked with a Warlock Guitar and makes the rest ot the band seem......rudimentary :) Thanks for this !!!

[@SittingInABunker]

Incredible. ABSOLUTELY . We are watching an interview with living rock and roll history . This is really good stuff. Thanks very much .

[@KylieOlsson]

Thank you! And I totally agree, he is Mr rock'n'roll for sure. Kylie x

[@maynoldmoreno7888]

Mick Mars One of the BEST.

[@two2erisfans]

I love the Mars man. sound of my childhood.

[@misterixman619]

Thanks for making this video long live to Mick! What a badass

[@glennoc8585]

Micks solo material is great. Love your jacket kylie

[@hippydippy]

Mick looks like he could be Alice Cooper's older brother. Bless his heart.

[@ltjoseph9042]

This is the perfect example of a backhanded compliment.

[@kenedie4646]

Who could go through a.s.,like he has? He is amazing. I have arthritis in my lower back, from many injuries. Every day, it's tough to stand up straight. I can't imagine what Mick has gone through, for decades...

[@DanKuches]

I really enjoyed this video interview. You were so professional, gave him time to speak and answer, but more importantly, you were like a friend, allowing him to share a bit of his story, including his pain. Yes, like everyone has stated, and I agree wholeheartedly, what an incredible musician, incredibly unique artist, and all with a kind humlity rarely seen from someone of his caliber and success. To top it off, he is showing what this terrible disease can do, but more importantly, he is showing how his spirit is tougher than this disease and how he fights it. He fights it, and he wins! He wins because he does not let it rule his life as he shoots for his dreams. I am pretty certain it is a lot of mundane work, constant practice, many bouts of despair, and just constant walls, going after those dreams. No, that wasn't going to stop him, Mick is a warrior and warrior's fight. I'm sure he hopes someone in despair and not fighting may see this and start fighting for their dreams and goals, just like he did. Mick has given us great entertaintment we may enjoy any and all the time, but what Mick is giving to that one person out there ready to hang it up, is more than I or most of us can imagine, he is the living embodiment of humility, hard work, perseverance, and not letting the fight fade away. I bet there are many that he has helped just by this interview and his candor. Thanks for your candor, Mick, and thank you, Kylie, for your incredible interview and kindness. It shined through.

[@MarkSmith-vy3tq]

I'm sure I'm going out on a limb and going to catch heck for it, but as a guitar player (that yes, learned Eddie, speed picking, 2 handed & 8 finger tapping, sweep picking, & whammy bar tricks) I'm going to comment from this angle. BUT FIRST...in watching a few vids of Mick, what I've learned (which I'll share at the end) is SO much more deep and revealing of him. So... Mick as a guitar player (I was developing my skill set at the time) was, simply put, nothing to write home about at the time. Yes, he had his moments, but those were...moments. He never seemed to cause that "damn, I need to hear that again!" or "WOW!!!"--not for (serious) guitar players. But in reflecting on those times, Mick FIT! The Cruë was never known as being top grade musicians, but they had the "IT" factor. And Mick fit them like a hand-in-glove. For the Cruë, he was their "secret sauce." He was a type of impressive that I'll never touch (e.g., money made, cars owned, nice home [and studio] owned, likely got plenty more girls than I, and the spendy guitar collection....) But, again, he was not a guitarist one would rant and rave about. Now, as I stated earlier, in this interview Mick seems very humble and matter-of-fact. It's almost like a professional race car driver that's spent 20 years speeding, screeching, swerving around a track; now those are like, "Meh, been there done that; now what?" I enjoyed this video and getting to "see" Mick (to a degree) aside from Mötley Crüe Mick.

[@mikestroud9969]

Mick Màrs is very creative. Lots of good music. God bless him. And yourself young lady ❤️🙏🇺🇲💯🎸🎸. And Yes he was the glue that kept Motley together 💯

[@hubriswonk]

Very cool guy.........I saw MC twice, once in the late 80's and again in the early 90's and Mick just rocked the show!

[@mirrortime]

Very cool to hear the man speak. Pure genius. I keep thinking Alice Cooper while watching.

[@JockeLundgrenTV]

Fantastic! Thank you very much! ❤

this was excellent -thanks Kylie & Mick!

[@StealthParrot]

What a great interview, thank you Kylie for showing everyone another side of a true rock legend!

Hi Kylie, amazing episode!!!! Mick is absolutely amazing he carried Motley Crue! And you are very pretty 😍😘

[@switch6258]

The best part of Motley was and always will be the sound of MICK’s GUITAR 😊 FN HUGE 🤘 Love the CD 💿 Mick Your legacy is locked in😊

[@davidpitcairn950]

Cool guy. I remember being sooooo gutted when MC cancelled their tour in the 80s. We were in Edinburgh and Nikki Sixx had had some kind of overdose. Saw them a year later and loved Tommy’s revolving drum kit at the Playhouse. Loved Sixx and his Thunderbird. Loved Tommy and his leather Speedos. Only years later I realise Bob was the absolute killer, main-man, of the band.

[@Scottputty]

He is the heart of MC..always will be

[@SheputstheFUNinFUNeral]

He seems so incredibly sweet. Poor giy dealing with AS!! I have severe spine issues so I feel for him.

All the best to Mick! He’s a warrior. 🎸 Great episode.

Incredibly happy to watch this. MM is doing quite well. Those F'n Strat's. I always said MM did his own MOD's same as EVH, but his own way and I feel comfortable supporting that statement. I am only 11:30 into the vid.

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

Wow. I didn't know he had that condition, and it's inspiring that he hasn't let that stop him. Thankfully he can still play the guitar! And write good songs too.

[@unclejim2330]

Great interview. 👍 So impressive that he showed up when they tried to get band back together while the others where whining and complaining. Solid dude. 👍

[@Trevelyan1971]

Really surprised how small and humble he is…seems a really nice guy.

[@OU-tn4nt]

Mick Mars is an Amazing guitarist and so underrated in my opinion!!🤘🔥🤘🎸🎵🎶

[@glenwaynethomas]

Underated... he created the Motley crue sound and was handsomely rewarded, he through the fame just stayed a nice guy...press had nothing to say about him!

[@zackdaniels6858]

Absolute Gem of a Gentleman. And a true MUSIC LOVER,And still Thriving to write, play and pursue TONE And STILL 100 % pulling it off. It almost seems he is too down to earth, unselfish and Real to be in Motley. GODBLESS you SIR. CHEERS, ZACK

[@shredhead4604]

In my early 40’s and is one of my favorite guitarists of all time. There is no Crue without Mick.🤘🎸🤘

[@KylieOlsson]

Thanks for watching... pleased you enjoyed, kylie x

[@klistarf]

What a cool and seemingly decent guy! I always thought his talent was much greater than the credit he got for it. And as for his recent album, 'The Other Side Of Mars': Well, when i first heard that, it just blew my mind! Far better than anything with Motley Crue printed on it. And i like the Crue, really i do, but i'm just being honest. Amazing album! You're the man, Mick. You rock! 🤟🏻😎🎸

[@TurdPlop]

Love that guy ❤

[@valibrad]

Great man!

[@paulwhickerthetallvicar]

Another great interview. He seemed quite reticent initially, but really began to open up, particularly about the horrible disease he is saddled with. Well researched with questions that teased out interesting responses from a legendary musician. Keep them coming!
