Mick Mars on perseverance & post-Mötley Crüe music | On The Record

▶ READ MORE: www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/...
Mick Mars was a foundational member of Mötley Crüe in the early 1980s - and he's never slowed down since. His riff-laden, bluesy, heavy-metal guitar parts have rocked radios and stadiums alike for decades.
In the latest On The Record interview, Mick speaks on his latest solo album 'The Other Side Of Mars', why he'd like to have Robbie Williams sing for him and how a dedication to music got him through early nights sleeping on cockroach infested floors. He also shares why - as a true rock star - it's sometimes important to 'break stuff'.

MICK MARS and OZZY would be the greatest thing ever

[@Ghostwriter78]

Yes!!!

[@OfficialJayPriceman]

Mick is a RIFF MASTER!! His new record is better than anything Crüe will ever make without him.

[@ponzo1967]

The sound of Micks guitar is the story of my life. Its been there all the way.

[@Sabundy]

Just shows how much Sixx, Lee, and Neil lie. This man is still mentally sharp and clearly knows what he is doing.

[@Hoodie_100]

Absolutley! Mick is 100% all there!!🧠🙌🏻❤️‍🔥🤘🏻

[@Razrback]

Love mick he's in my top 10 players

[@Ghostwriter78]

What an awesome guy. Incredibly humble. Those are the best people really. And the interviewer did a great job too.

[@Sams911]

This man is a saint.... truly a saint. Stop for a second and imagine the pain he's in 100% of the time.

[@ScottEgan69]

This album is straight fire.

[@danteshuggins697]

Love You Mick Mars Your one of my favorite guitar players. You have had an amazing journey in Life & now that your 73 years old you still got a lot of great musical riffs ahead of you. I pray you stay healthy & Live a great Life.

[@NikkiSixxIsMyGod]

Aww Mick 73, I can't believe it! Still love you sweetheart and remember our glory days (56 myself) hope you are taking care of yourself. I wondered how you were doing and yeah I've been living under a rock, had no clue you were still making music! Now I am excited to go looking for it. Gotta break stuff...oh yeah! I do hope for bluesy stuff, but I have various tastes too and I know I will love it! Cas from KY to Canada 💖💜💖💜💖💜💖

[@ryu16k]

Great interview. He is a guitar legend and one of the best songwriters. The world needs more in-depth interviews about his attitude and equipment.

[@mickmars1313]

Love you, Mick. One of the greatest.

[@jamesthompson6726]

We love ya Mars. The best part of the crue! They can replace who ever in the band but they can't replace the heart of the band and thats you.🤘😊

[@ryant3600]

When i was a kid I remember getting Shout at the Devil, I was about 10 years old. I know Theater gets a lot of hate, but when I got that, I'll never forget it, by then I was really getting into guitar thanks to Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee. but I still remember for a long time I had reoccurring dreams of Mick teaching me guitar. The guitar work on Theater is still one of my favorites of his. I've been lucky enough to see Crue live in 3 different decades. Mick is one of the coolest cats ever.

[@Tyrenexg]

Mick is really inspiring, I swear

[@JockeLundgrenTV]

Living Legend!! ❤

[@davidcardenas2925]

My Hero,,, I've followed his entire career,,,just love what he does, and his humility....100% obvious that he was Motley period,,,,the sound the power the essence....God speed "1313"

[@Hoodie_100]

MIIIIIIICK!! I could listen to you talk all day! I listen to your music nearly everyday. I'd love to hear more bluesy rock too. I've always loved your guitar in "City Boy Blues".❤️‍🔥🤘🏻🎸

[@JohnBGood-ry9wj]

God Bless the children of the Beast is one of my favorite tracks off SATD …..it just gives an eerie interlude between Bastard and Helter Skelter!!!

[@user-rc3id2lu7v]

So pround of you Mick for doing your own thing, sounds really great love the new LP

[@PedroFeliz5]

Un maestro, un genio, gracias por tu musica!

[@pdxpete48]

I love the latest song releases they rock with substance! Ray is a must for drums, Chris hell yes , Paul for sure this is a new strain of awesomeness. When it shines to you embrace it.

[@jessicamcdaniel1057]

As we're disabled, much adoration

[@Mickcotton]

Fantastic ❤ Thank You So Much for all your Great Music Mick Please Take Care of Yourself & Rock On 🤘

[@nickdonoghue7423]

Mick Mars you have a awesome idea with maybe working with Robbie Williams, some metal heads may not understand the logic but I do 💯 , keep on doing it your way 😎🤘.

[@blackfishgaming7145]

I was never a Crue fan. Just a fan of guitar. Over the last year, I’ve been listening to his interviews and story. Very inspiring. His persona is so different than his old band members.

[@craigpoole7554]

I feel your pain Mick, I also have AS, it’s pretty shit put you have to get on with it, love your work and the Crue ❤

[@_Ben4810]

I know absolutely nothing about Motley Crue, I couldn't name one song by them, so I am unsure how & why this came up on my YT Recommendations, but I am awestruck by the politeness & humbleness of Mick Mars, what a kind man he seems to be...I will also go check his solo album also. Many Thanks for posting this wonderful interview. 👌

[@marknye2589]

Hey Mick! love your ax playing! All I know is YOU made the Crew what it was. Best wishes. Mark South Carolina

[@rikpaterson5680]

Love Mick

[@robinkish-miller2990]

[@JohnViguerie]

Robert the real Deal

[@Darrin67]

Mick is one of the baddest mofos ever. Any and every guitar player in the world knows this dude is a true legend. No cap bruh as the kids these days say. He WAS Motley Crue.

[@Brian-lm3lw]

doing my tele with ya

[@mCblue79]

Love you Mick 🤘😔1313

[@Brian-lm3lw]

miss my metal dessese

[@ChayoSaldarriaga]

Please can you FIX the problems with the App on Android?

[@KayleeKretten]

he seems so upset when talking about not being in the band anymore or just motley in general. it breaks my freaking heart 💔

[@sinnerboy6009]

SLASH MARS IS NEEDED

[@pandahorse]

Mick should collab with Tom Keifer. I'd KILL to see that.

[@willvande]

how does one even get to talk to mick??

[@user-rc3id2lu7v]

Have no idea he lives in Nashville. Tennessee

[@jessicamcdaniel1057]

Yeah writing is what we do when there is nothing to do no money to go anywhere

[@johnNYjets12]

Does Micks disease cause severe weight loss? I'm not being a smart ass, I don't actually know.

[@jimmyjimminson6742]

I have AS also, and I wouldn’t say it directly causes weight loss, but I don’t really have an appetite anymore and don’t eat that much, so I’ve gotten really skinny and lost alot of muscle mass

[@mCblue79]

Aside from Mick's days of being heavily on the booze he's always been in the thin side. And don't forget the guy is 73. You'd look a little worn too if you had to carry 3 jackasses on your back for 40 years. ✌️

[@bretthansen3560]

Dad had to move on

[@d-mack7053]

Shame on the rest of the band. Enough said.......

[@tomjessome8029]

my nickname s tommy lee but i think i play much better than him sorry tommy!
