The Untold Truth Of Motley Crue's Mick Mars

[@GrungeHQ]

Couple points to clear up. Mick Mars urged Tommy and Nicki to accept Vince as the lead singer, we didn't mean to infer that he was the sole reason Vince joined. Also, We didn't get into the whole Mick Mars birthday controversy. Mars real birthdate is probably 1951, but for years professionally he used 1955 as his birth year. Sorry about those points and we'll be sure to be more clear in the future!

I don't even care much for Crew but I've always liked Mick more than the other ones. Saw them live a few times, last time in 2010 and Mick was the guy carrying the music. For his disease and restricted movement, he actually plays the songs how they sound on the record. A ton of these guys of that era could barely do it then and it's even worse now. I like Jake E Lee and aesthetically he may have fit the girly look of Motley Crew in 86' but Mars was interictal to their success. Would've been a dumb move with Jake probably leaving in a few albums anyway.

@@Benji1969 When it came to 80's music I was always an AC/DC/Motorhead guy who enjoyed all those thrash bands like early Metallica who just got up on stage in a shirt and ripped blue jeans and did their thing. I was never into the glam stuff, the gang vocals etc..but I have to admit, the one thing that always stuck out for me when it came to Motley Crue were the catchy riffs. Mick would often use tunings which made the guitar sound heavier/raunchier which wasn't all that common at the time. Even as a kid when I was asked if I liked Motley Crue I always responded with "I like a lot of their riffs."

There are some nights when I just lay there and cry until I'm exhausted and I finally fall asleep. I go two and three days without sleeping and finally pass out from exhaustion. I completely understand about the 'opiate crisis'but there are some times when it is just cruel to let someone hurt so bad that they contemplate suicide. Your quality of life is shit and you beg for God to please take you.

Hey I was born and still live in Terre Haute Indiana!

Mick is the Clue. Without him, there wouldn’t be a Crue. I know his pain….I have RA, and if it’s anywhere like that pain, then it’s hell. On a lighter note: 2:22 look at that package!

Mick Mars is a Great guitar player definitely influential!

Love 😘💋😘💋 you ❤️ yay 😁😊 peace ✌️ Mick Mars.

Very interesting. I thought he was that way because he just stayed so engrossed with his guitar. I have lost 2 inches in height but that is due to Thoracic Spine Fractures at T2, T3, T6, T8, T9, and T10. So I understand his pain.

10:42 Especially in this picture, Mick reminds me so much of main protagonist of GunGrave anime series. I guess Mick Mars is one of the main sources of inspiration of the character 💖💖💖👍👍👍

I wonder why the rest of the band wanted to get rid of Mick once the band started gaining popularity?? It probably has everything to do with looks. They wanted another young, attractive dude in the band. That's the only thing I can think of because Mick is an amazing guitarist and a cool guy.

I was four years old when I first heard motley crue, been playing guitar ever since. I'm 40 years old, keep doing what you do mick, ill keep doing what I do. ROCK ON MAN!!!!

Mick mars is one of my favorite guitarists of all time! He is incredible.

[@duwaynesnider276]

Motley Crue has got to be the only band where the lead guitarist is the most obscure member; truly one of the ironies of life! Remember the black guitar Mick used in the " Girls, Girls, Girls" video? I was 17 in 1987 and I thought there is not too many "cooler" than this!

[@pdxpete48]

Musically Mick Mars is the backbone of Motley Crue < then Nikki for writing good songs, Tommy is good at keeping a groove with showmanship , Vince is a bit of a train wreck when it comes to delivering lyrics these days. Am I wrong?

[@paulruiz6083]
