Mick Mars vs. John 5 - Home Sweet Home

[@viterievents-nightlifeeven9870]

In my opinioni both guitarists are legendary. Both have their own, unique style. And there's no denying Mick has written countless, classic guitar riffs and solos that make up the Crue sound and feel. Mick is a great rock guitarist who's work will live on to inspire future rock guitar players. John 5 is a wizard on the guitar, a true virtuoso. And a very humble player who is doing a great job playing Mick's songs. He's not getting flashy or trying to make them his own. He is playing them as true as he can to how they were composed by Mick. At least from what I see in this video. You gotta respect that. I feel lucky to have seen them both play several times. Thanks for posting this video. Respect and props to both of these great musicians.

Wonderful comment and very well said!

I remember coming across a video of John 5 playing a Kiss song true to the original, yet better than Kiss could ever play it. He's really one of the most gifted guitarists around because beyond his technical wizardry he has a feel in his playing that many of the technical guys seem to have lost as the mastered the instrument.

I think John did the solo respectfully. He didn’t try to make it flashy, so I can respect that. However, true talent is not just play, but in one’s ability to compose. With that, Mick will always be the one true guitarist of Motley Crue. Also, in these videos you are comparing a 70 yr old with a spine disease to a younger guitarist. That has to be taken into consideration also😊

Mick Mars all the way

[@TheUtoobs]

I do feel more when I watch mick, but Im not sure if thats cuz its funkier or if its because it looks tough for him as an old man. Still, they both rip.

[@MrBrierez-Vidz]

@@TheUtoobs your right.

[@davecolvett8771]

There's NO COMPARISON here as far as I'm concerned- My Man Mick Mars, ALL THE WAY!

Sick upload john is a legend i was a danzig fan since i was 13 got aholda Lucifuge and been a fan ever since I can see the chords n i think i could nail this thanx john wish u the best

[@joemeza1791]

The difference between technical proficiency and playing with feel. Mick has been playing this song for years and he plays with feeling. Great to see Mick up close, he is an under-rated player for sure. And it is my opinion, Mick is a large reason for Motley's success.

both fantastic could watch them both for hrs.

I love that John kept the Mick lead in place. He showed total props to Mick, and that lead is iconic. Sweet.

[@MichaelVoegtle-zz2it]

So much love for both guitarist. Glad that Johnny 5 kept the song as Mick wrote the solo. Mick Mars was so unique and he maintained a style that I feel was under- rated for his skills. He was a great song writer. He was the foundation for the sound of Motley Crue. Love and respect to both of them.

Mick Mars will always be one Of my favorite guitarists but his physical state has really taken the toll he used to tell us about but we didn’t listen. He played on for so many years through so much pain. Thank you John 5 for what you have done here keeping it true to the original.

No one can replace the legends…..Mick Mars all day!

[@goex4881]

J5 IS a legend too! but this is a Mick song, same would happen if you put mick to play J5 songs, their sound is different.

[@aaronkristo858]

​@@goex4881John 5 is a very talented guitar player, but he is not a legend.

[@bryanger91]

The ending part of the solo with the whammy bar of Mick Marks sounds amazing

[@9th_note]

Thank you to mick for composing and performing one of the most beautiful guitar solos that I have ever heard in my life and thank you to john 5 for performing a great cover of it. 🤘🏻

[@puppetmaster8106]

Mick's impeccable style is what feelings sound like.

[@jamesvincent1434]

God bless Mick Mars❤‍🔥Forever

[@MrVortex1313]

Absolutely one of their best solos hands down.

[@leonardgonzales8215]

Mick Mars is a Legend because He has proven it.

[@RFM-CDA]

Both very talented. Grew up with MC. Thankful I finally got to see them last year in SF with Mick still playing.

[@markbuerkjr4237]

Both amazing innovative guitarists

[@dautonvit]

Mick is the best !

[@victorneckar7743]

Mick and Isabella are magical thank you for all the years Mr. Mars

[@Murc13lago]

Thank you John 5 for respecting Mick Mars it shows in how you play his solo on this song

[@wraithIike]

John is fantastic, period. Passing the torch as they say. Thank you Mick for all that you brought, and our memories. Thank you John for bringing yourself to the role. Ultimately, we all win.

[@Tiffany-q8d]
