"As long as my brain, my hands and legs work, I'm never stopping" respect!!!!

[@thesixthbeatle]

Cheers to Mick for vowing to never stop making forgettable rock

[@seriousmonkey5654]

Yeah.@@thesixthbeatle

[@gun_toting_lefty]

True! Not gonna knock his hustle. If it were me in his position? I'm shifting over to writing, producing , and engineering.

Man I can fucken relate to that. I'm dying of liver disease Hep-C geno type 1-A the absolute worst of all of them. It was given to me by a A.F.B. blood bank when I lost my leg in 82. I play bass off and on..I'm 63 would love to set down with ya just for 5 minites with one of my bass line's. Grove along see what we come up with..

[@YorkieMom66]

Mick was the soul of Mötley Crüe. He is so ridiculously talented! Love you Mick!

[@melissalove2463]

AMEN to that ! He doesn’t even get half the credit he’s due !

[@mattharriss3835]

Motley will never create another Motley song ever. NIkki is an incredible song writer but Mick was what made Motley .... Motley Crue

[@F1UPodcast]

Agreed

[@Armed_Heist]

Yes!

[@d-baserox2773]

NEVER say never ? And One man alone alone does NOT make a band NO @@mattharriss3835

[@robertkerr9738]

I love how he can rock your face off on stage and still sound like a midwestern uncle when he talks!

[@chevtrukman]

If you just listen to audio only of this video, you would imagine a normal-looking guy who would fit the ‘down to earth family guy’ mold. But with the video, you’d geek out because it’s Mick freakin Mars, arguably one of the top five best guitarists ever! Neal Schon, Slash, Mick Mars, Vivian Campbell, Steve Clark, and Phil Collen in no particular order.

[@therobable1]

​@@chevtrukman i would add jeff healy and stevie ray vaughn to that list also

[@tomdeters735]

As a kid growing up, in the 80s..I loved motley..still do..the older I get, the more I appreciate Mick Mars as a guitarist

[@ellisonlowrimore7751]

Agreed!!

[@pushpopschilly]

His riffs are so sick

[@DaniellePerry-th2zl]

@tomderters you do relize that Mick Mars is the co founder and no longer play with them . Motley Crue sucks with out him . I give more respect too Mick Mars then the band . im 45 I know whats good and not . Mick Mars did a solo Album witch is badass

[@tomdeters735]

@@DaniellePerry-th2zl I totally agree!

[@DaniellePerry-th2zl]

@@tomdeters735 Its the facts and the truth. MC are assholes . people dont relize the Nikki Sixx and tommy were in another band befor MC and vince the asshole waa in the band called Candy .

[@acelarson1872]

Mick has such a kind soul, amazing talent, he was Motley Crue.

[@paulmazzola398]

Mick Mars is a class act and he was the brains behind Motley Crue.

[@scotthomberg141]

Agreed.

[@aaronsoto9385]

Nope... M.C. were 4 😊

[@aaronsoto9385]

Best wishes to mr Mars! Amazing!!! You rules dude!!! WOW!!!🎉❤

[@anthonylong5870]

With Vince the way he is and John 5 just being a Poser. I don't know why anyone would go see Motley these days. Its a sham from what Motley was back in the day

[@ian2lorimer]

Mick Mars.....seems like a real cool dude and very humble

[@benben-sl7hi]

Mick is a warrior through and through!! I’m so glad he is in good health and still making music and writing his signature tone soaked monster riffs!!!🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@patrickmckeever2378]

I have A.S. at 57 years old, Mick is the greatest inspiration to keep pushing even when it hurts! Birmingham is close for a concert, Bama that is lol, Roll Tide! 😊

[@funkdoktor9099]

Rtr son. I've got spine issues as well. Not AS. Prayers brother. Keep on keeping on. Birmingham native- lived in the ham 46 years.

[@rocknroll20024]

I'll say a prayer for you.

[@chanelvampire]

He's so cute! 😍 & the way he asks "I can say shit right?" Is so cute!

[@shreddinjoe]

God bless ya Mick...at 72 hes still got the heart, talent, playability he always has...ashamed hes been strickened with this bone desease..however, on a brighter note..hes a f$cking millionaire and has and still is living a dream life, but humble as ever

[@Frankenberry]

Man I so love this guy. Mick Mars is a freakin' global treasure. It's so funny how somebody you've never even met can mean so much to you and make such an impact on your life. This guy is such an influence on my guitar playing, and the way I craft riffs... and not only that, but just my personality... Who I aspire to be.. Thanks for a life time of inspiration Mick! Nothing but love for you Saint Mars.

[@Hoodie_100]

Mick is a wonderful person worthy of admiration. Very cool that you are so inspired by him and his music. Back in 1995 when he lived in CA, I saw him at the grocery store where I always do my shopping. I didn't want to bother him, but I couldn't help myself! Just had to go over and say hi. He was sooo kind, so sweet, and was thoughtful enough to spend a little time chatting with me. I adore him. Been a big fan 40+ years. 😊🤘🏻

[@Frankenberry]

@@Hoodie_100 Oh without a doubt... HUGE inspiration on me.. Theres probably not another guitar player who has had more of a noticeable influence on my guitar style... particularly my lead style, but also on my rhythm playing... His DNA is all over my style lol.

[@Mucram-17]

Well said.He is amazing

[@matthewbingham8824]

Very well said! I'm extremely lucky to have met Mick 20+ times since 1983. He and Tommy are the solid backbone of the Crue.

[@eriklarson9137]

Here's the extremely sad part about that. People connect with stranger online like Mick and love them more than anyone in real life. Living like they are teen girls in the 80s reading teen beat. What a sad thing people do to themselves. It should be embarrassing. Find someone and give them your love. Online life is fake.

[@OTR392]

Mick Mars is a real musician, much love & respect.

[@556johnstone]

One of my favorite guitar players. Mick is a legend

[@caprise-music6722]

Respect to Mick and the band for writing that song. It’s so true. People hear 1 thing from a couple people on the internet and just cling on to that lie, like sheep on a train. Like Ren said in one of his songs.. people don’t even have their own opinion anymore!! Massive respect to Mick Mars for everything he’s done over the years! He will always be in my top 5 list

[@Rocker2000100]

My respects to Mick, he is an icon no doubt.

[@markwinchester3005]

Mick is the epitome of the word CLASS. Interesting how he teamed back up w/ Michael Wagner 40yrs later. Wagner played guitar in Accept - Balls To The Wall.

[@grayknight836]

Geez Mick, that’s the most I think I’ve ever heard you talk. Highly underrated Guitarist 🔥🎸. Don’t let your health stop you from being creative! So what if you can’t tour with the guys, who gives a crap! 🤘🏻

[@MikeysMorgue]

Mick seems like a really nice and cool guy. I wish him well with his health struggles! 🤘🏼

[@intertubicular]

MICK IS A LIVING LEGEND THAT STILL PACKS HEAT!

Mick was the real musician in Mostly Crud. I have always enjoyed Micks playing.

He had some great guitar riffs. He was the best musician in the band.

Man I couldn't be more happy for Mic Mars. Still jamming at a high level. Way to go brother. Keep rocking cause age is just a number 👍🤘🎧🎸.

[@wickedPrints3256]

I saw him live back in 1986. Incredible guitar player. There's no doubting his sound. You know it's Mick when you hear the first riff.

[@charlesfaucher6518]

You are such a class act Mick. Keep doing and playing what you love. My hat is of to you.

[@lehighstar474]

Thank you Mick,,,I've been playing drums since I was 19,,Tommy Lee was a big influence and at age 50 in 2021 I was in a hospital for 4 months,,,needed open heart surgery and was on dialysis but I'm recovering now and back playing drums again,,,and as long as I can still play I'm gonna play

[@Ghostwriter78]

So much respect for this guy. He's got a great attitude despite these challenges, well-spoken and to be honest.....he appears to be the healthiest of the four, psychologically. And he looks better now than he ever did! Rock on, Mick!

[@iluvdaguitar]

So glad Mick Mars is feeling well and forging on with new material. He's one of a handful of 80s metal guitarists that influenced me when I was learning. Always loved his unique style of creating riffs and solos. Nobody sounds like Mick! ❤👍🤘✌️

[@MetalGoddess2791]

Love you ❤️ Mick! I grew up listening to Motley Crue and even worked production for you guys. I'm so fortunate to have had that opportunity. 😃🤘🤘🤘

[@Justin-st9kn]

The most underrated guitarist ever. This guy is a gem.

When I grow up I want to be freaking Mick Mars!!! He's a force to be reckoned with!

Way to go!!! But, I hope you can get there without having to live with a shit disease like Ankylosing Spondylitis. I've been living with it since I was 14.

[@Morpheusninetwo]

So glad to hear!! I miss your playing!!!!!❤❤ love the music brother!!

You and John Corabi . That would be insane. What you did on Motleys self titled album , was the best I have ever heard . Mick ! You rock dude !

[@Musique.Studiogris]

Thank you so much for your example of determination and your big contribution to the sound of Rock and Roll music Mick! ❤

[@shawnkilmer3079]

Home Sweet Home is one the reasons why I started picking up my guitar ten years after I set the first one down. I love Motley Crue. And, it is always good to sit and appreciate someone who is speaking. Long live Mick!🤟🏼|Bones

AWESOME!! love ya Mick... the absolute heart of MOTLEY CREW and STILL kickstart'n it all up HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOVE IT thankyou Q1043 NEW YORK for this, it was an awesome interview

[@rafiqkatana]

Mick Mars is top of my list for people I'd love to meet and speak with, in person. His riffs guided me through the formative years of my life. And helped me realize that *music* was all I needed to help me cope with anything bad in my existence. But he's a star and I'm no one. So, I'll chalk it up to my list of things that will never happen. My *Reverse Bucket List.* Motley wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for him.

[@sabrina9154]

Mick Mars is a amazing human being and one of the sweetest people in the world me my mom and brother hung out with all of motley Crue in 2009 , 2015 was amazing hopefully Mick Mars will tour on this album we can't wait for this album to drop

[@johnkeenan9495]

You're amazing Mick,we love you so much

[@markmarsh9923]

I Love you Mick honestly you are an inspiration to all who suffer from many things and use Rock as medicine. Such an inspiration. I hope you go on and do Everything to fulfill yourself and don’t doubt it

[@brannonmcclure6970]

Mick.He is magical; I’ve always seen him in this light. He is such an original being! Amen.🧑‍🎨🙏🎸♾️🗝️❤️⭐️

I've never particularly been a metal head or Crue fan... but when I learned that Mr. Mars suffers the same disease I do... MAD RESPECT

[@CoquineJosee68]

Je vous souhaite bonne santé.

[@Slartie24]

Great and unique tone on shout of the devil. The single thick beefy notes on “ looks that kill” are delicious

[@williamcanavan7085]

This man is what legends are made of and he is so humble. Such a stark contrast to his past band mates. Nothing but love and respect!! Long live Mick!!!!!!

[@jimaguirre5799]

So glad to see Mick doing good! He's an icon for the rock scene, sunset strip scene, and Crue! I wanna see more of the guy!

[@cutitblonde]

mick mars was the main reason I started playing guitar I don't know how to thank him for this. He is a hero for me!

[@glentreasure2466]

Yeah, when you stop what your love doing you know things fall apart for or worse that’s why you wanna keep going and do what you do to keep it. Nice and strong. Hope you get better dude.❤❤

[@fuzzmaster5]

Respect to Mick for getting out of a sinking ship, and saying screw you to Motley Crue. And much more respect for writing "Loyal To The Lie". We all know what and who that song is about without him saying so. Much Respect!

[@MHfxdx09]

I just want to say Mick you make what ever kind of music you want. Go in what ever direction you feel. You're a great artist. Do you.

[@AlexLopez-xz4go]

I remember being a little kid, listening to the Crüe, learning to play guitar and thinking,... man, this dude Mick Mars is good, but damn, I think the Crüe is holding him back. Now, all this years later, I STILL think the same. Imagine if Mick Mars was given the freedom to play how he truly can play. Imagine how much better the Crüe would have been! No wonder his favorite Crüe album is the one with Corabi. . .

[@edwardwilliams8238]

Heart and Soul of MC. All my love and prayers to you sir. You are a legend.✌️❤️🎶🎵

[@buster612003]

great to see you Mick!!! Keep rockin, we appreciate it!

I love Mick!! glod bless you and keep on rockin!!

[@Muttleytech]

Shout at the Devil was my introduction to Motley and it was maybe a year or so I learned about their debut TFFL. My generation was MC, Maiden, Priest, Ozzy BATM. I miss those days!

[@RAIDERPATTON71]

Hearing him talk about the album reminds me of the interview he gave in the uncensored video. Where he is in his 77 red on red corvette , I've always loved Micks playing.

[@stevenselix8606]

i cant wait for this lp

[@borgonianevolution]

Mick has always been a hero of mine. I can't tell you how many versions of Too Fast For Love I wore out on all media. I can't believe the rest of the band just shit on him the way they have yet kept Vince even though he can't take three steps with out getting winded where he cant sing a full measure let alone remember the words to his own songs most of the time. Mick you sir are a God among mortals.

[@joeltudor521966]

Mick's My Hero! Super massive respect to this man!

[@funkdoktor9099]

I have to say Mick- You are an inspiration. The one guy with ankylosing Spondylosis looks fitter than everyone else. Hats off to you brother. And still ripping it.

[@tombambauer5220]

So many riffs. Crazy life he has had. Lots of pain. Always seems so chill not your average 80s 90s rock star.

I've subbed because of Mick Mars.

[@acornhead73]

He is so humble, honorable, and just plane nice guy. Àll the the best for him.

[@OpenRoader]

I grew up in Los Angeles and remember when kids in my Jr High started showing up with cassette tapes of Too Fast For Love. Way before it was on the radio. Some of the older kids were going out to Hollywood to see them at the Whiskey a Go Go. Then we watched it all grow into the monster it became. Keep Rockin' Mick!

[@bernardgranite]

Shout at the Devil's greatest moments are Mick's riffs. Knock 'em Dead Kid is great.
