Mick Mars - Will He Be the Death of Motley Crue?

[@leewirt9380]

My mom is micks aunt Annie that you talked about and he talked about her in the dirt and many interviews. She passed in 2020. Mick was always good to us having us backstage at concerts. Mom use to drive him and one of the bands he was in to do shows in a old box van. She use to tell me all kinds of stories about him.

[@luishumbertoalcantaraaguil275]

I agree... I dont mean any disrespect for John 5, he is a wonderful guy... But kicking Mick Mars out of the band to insert John 5 in, is like patching and old torn up pair of pants with a piece of new cloth... Which as a matter of fact, will end up being unfair even to John 5 himself... What will happen with John 5 when another one, or even worse, all of the original members die, become sick or too old to play??? I'm not saying it will be the end of the World, of course he can get more gigs, but, I don't know, maybe a feeleing of loss if he gets attached to the emotionaly as a brotherhood as it commonly happens with banda members... I don't know... Just letting imagination fly...

[@SJ-ty5rw]

I agree as well 100% they should have called it quits after the end tour . Nikki , Vince , and Tommy could still go play with other bands , if they love playing live . But of course Nikki wouldn't do this because the name MC is where $$ is . He is the problem . The guy should have saved his money better . He's been making millions for 30 years .

This was good,no bull crap that is mainly gossip. When Motley Crue first Strarted ,I got tickets from Nikki ,I worked at a Music store in Burbank California, called Killeens music. One note Frankie, as everyone called him ,because he basically either was riding the E or A string ,which was tuned down a whole step,Micks idea! Anyway, I was x at the first show ,at a place called Pookies, no fight, basically no people, buy I met the manager, micks brother in law, who dumped a half million into the band, with the promise that he would be repaid when Motley got their advance when they got the record deal,instead they fired him and wrote the song bastard about,him,that should tell you what they are like! It's hard to say this when they treated me great! But ,they have ruined peoples careers, and now mick,the guy who is Motley Crue, not Tommy,I'm a rapper from Compton, is a tren follower, Nikki is the biggest poser I have ever met ,and now John 5 ,or lowery, is going to maybe last one album’,and he will have to leave ,that whole band still is drinking and taking drugs! John doesn't like that. But wRob

I know these guys Marilyn Manson was a huge fan of my band Trick Or Treat, and we went to see the first Iron Maiden show when Bruce came back ,front row at the Greek! So I know these guys ,and fame can destroy anyone! I hope Micks last few years are as good as possible, and Nikki needs to get on his knees and beg for forgiveness! He has a big tattoo on his calf of mick ,why would Nikki do that? Guilt? Who knows, but if Mick dies before they make up,it will huant that band forever, inwould hope!

Actually my man it's Corabi, John Corabi and he was on the self titled "Motley Crue" released in 1994. IMO their best record by far. He also had already laid most of the guitar tracks down on Generation Swine but before it was released Vince was back in the band so you only hear a little of John Corabi and only on guitar. Generation Swine and everything after was terrible. I never listened to Crue again other than the older records. I have always been a fan of Mick Mars. I think "Misunderstood" off of the 94 record was his best written song. Thanks for the info man it's really great to hear more about him and your delivery was great other than that one little missed fact about Corabi. \m/ \m/

Comment: MC may end up being a great Tribute Band. Just like what KIZZ (Kiss) did in where they have this extensive catalog of songs. This band (referring to MC) can also be compared to Luis Miguel (an international singer). LM (Luis Miguel) has not even released any new material in several years and the young man is making millions of dollars by touring and singing his hit songs to his fans. MC, I believe, will be heading down that road. Greg Leon is better than John 5 but Mr. Leon said that he would never join the band. I think MC can survive by doing this, but I don't believe that they will ever be releasing any new material. I think those days' are Over. March 30, 2024. USA

I’ve been a huge Mötley fan since shout at the devil and it hurts me to see and hear vince just being horrible live. I mean I don’t expect any singer to be perfect live but it’s obvious that Vince doesn’t put in the work. He’s lazy all the way around and I come from a work hard family. So to see Vince being a millionaire and has the resources to be better and not caring enough to go out and be the best version of himself just sucks.

This isn't accurate? No one spit on vince there was no fight at the starwood. I was upstairs in the vip section. I also went to school with their first photographer. The first photo shoot was in cerritos calif. I lived down the street and there's pictures .

[@stevelongmusic880]

That's cool, wish I was there!. I did preface that a lot of the info was coming from the book and there could be discrepancies. Good to hear from someone with first hand experience! Thanks for watching!

[@bobpugliese4428]

@stevelongmusic880 just some friendly advice i would fact check things in the books. Another example nikki s story about his audition with quiet riot is b.s. read or watch what kevin Dubrow said.

[@stevelongmusic880]

Well, I did use their book The Dirt for some of this also, but it was more about Mick that the whole band. Unfortunately, there's not a ton out there about Mick by himself. But great advice, appreciate it!

It would just serve Nikki Sixx right that the Crue should be relegated to the dustbin of irrelevance. Mick Mars was, is, and forever will be Crue. Without him, Crue is doomed, and rightfully so for their shameful treatment of Mick Mars.

[@stevelongmusic880]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

Obviously motley crue is not motley crue without the 4 original members. They tried to replace people before and they flopped. Its nothing against the other musicians they Obviously are extremely talented, but mick is the building block that made them into MOTLEY CRUE!! Nikki sixx is the only one who could be replaced and the sound that is Motley Crue wouldn't change a bit. Granted he is the main song writer but nobody can replicate mick playing

[@stevelongmusic880]

Agreed, John 5 and Corabi are awesome, but its just not Crue. Thanks for watching!

[@ponzo1967]

Nikki telling Mick he isn't playing his instrument well? Lol 😂

[@stevelongmusic880]

:) thanks for watching!

[@antonioarroyo2347]

Every band member of Motley Crue brings magic to da band not just Mick Mars or Nikki Sixx or Tommy Lee or Vince Neil they when Vince left Crue fans were made Tommy left yall got mad now Mick gone yall mad Motley Crue don't suck Crue fan don't stand behind da band look at kiss skid row and many other band but there fan's stay behind them

[@stevelongmusic880]

@@antonioarroyo2347 I see what you’re saying, and you have a point. I personally am trying to say the magic you are talking about, which I agree was there, is gone when one of them leaves. Thanks for watching!

[@mtbiker4life918]

It's painful listening to Motley now.

[@stevelongmusic880]

Yeah, just not the same. Thanks for watching!

[@givem110]

Mick wrote the songs. I don't even think six can play an instrument much less be the primary song writer. Think they've been ripping off mick forever

[@stevelongmusic880]

Yeah, definitely looks that way. Thanks for watching!

[@kengyang1908]

Motley Jews will survive the old catalogs holds up, b real old Bob physically unable to tour enjoy what ever left, if you're wallet thick alright alright alright alright alright

[@stevelongmusic880]

Yeah the old songs are great, thanks for watching!

[@rwsimmons8812]

Motley Crue the world's most dangerous band????? LOL... nobody ever said anything like that!

[@stevelongmusic880]

Well, actually, several of the rock mags and record execs did call them that in regards to their excessive drug use, sex, arrests, etc. essentially all the problems they caused for the record companies. However, Guns and Roses has been referred to by this as well, even a documentary called that about them (probably fits them better in my opinion). And Paul Schaffer's band was actually named the World's Most Dangerous Band. If you don't know who he was, he was the band leader on the David Letterman Show as well as on Saturday Night Live in the 70s. All in all, it's all hype anyway. Thanks for watching!

[@jimswordsnchords1759]

Mick Mars was Motley Crue. No Mars' guitar, no reason for me to listen.

[@stevelongmusic880]

Can't disagree, thanks for watching!

[@Billywigginsthe3rd]

No mick no crue. He was the heart and soul and only one with great talent. John 5 is talented but the new songs I don't like at all.

[@stevelongmusic880]

Yep, I'm with you there! Thanks for watching!
