Actually,... NO, he doesn't.... because John said 'In HIS opinion'. you can state your OWN opinion ABOUT his opinion, but you cant say that someone doesn't feel the way they do. Also,... if you hold 'shift' and press enter it will create a space to make paragraphs so you aren't stuck with typing one huge block of text rendering it highly unlikely that people will read your (lengthy) input. You're obviously a massive Crüe fan, its great to see that level of enthusiasm, but nobody has ever made a 'good point' by calling people 'dumb-ass' ya know?
Mick mars makes that guitar scream fuck no he does not get the credit he deserves every one always talks shit about him where in the world would the crue be they would have never made it I'm sorry but I allways have have kept it real and Mick mars kicks ass I have always loved and cared about you you are a miracle but I allways have thought that Randy Rhodes holds the title of the the best guitarist God ever made he holds the title of the the best guitarist ever rip in peace Randy Rhodes your number one fan Marcie Lawson
Well, if Mick wanted to self-promote 20 years after the band was relevant and have a radio show, he might get more recognition. He was always just happy to let the others get the headlines. And I think he's in pretty poor condition these days. He is a humble guy and I think that's because he was already in the game a while before they got famous. The others seemed like it went straight to their heads and they didn't know how to behave.
Mick Mars is the forgotten member in The Crue . And without him , there would have never been Motley Crue . He's not the greatest guitarist that ever lived . But he's up there . And He's got a terrible disease . God Bless him . And the Crue as well .
He has had a life time of major back pain his spine is really messed up ! He is my idle mick always looked grumpy but that’s not really him it’s just pain in his face and he is a amazing guitar player (Artist) definitely one of a kind 👍😎
What amazes me is that after all the years of partying and drugs, these guys are STILL well-spoken individuals. Can't really say the same for some in that era of rock.
Mick Mars unconsciously soaked up all their potential health ailments and destructiveness and life-altering life threatning situations, he bore all their destructiveness to themselves and it carried the physical ailment. He was literally a life saving antennae for them, a very subtle transfer of energies-Unfortunately he bore it all through his physical ailments.
@@effortlessawareness8778 wow you are a fanboy from hell. You obviously don't realize how ridiculous your comment sounds. May I suggest you stop eating paint chips and sniffing glue.
@@jameycockrell5481 So essentially, it all evens out-They were all key aspects- & There’s nothing left to say except the obvious: the band carried itself and the band itself was great, and the band consists of those 4 members and the band was legendary. And we all know this..
It was the idea and the presentation that really blew everyone away. They talked about everything every guy wanted to do and u could dream about being one of the guys in the videos with all the girls. Then one day all these men woke up in their 30s and 40s and realized the dream wasn't gonna happen and then everybody became mad and it trinkled down to teen angst and grunge really took over from there. Rest is history.
Mick's solo on Home Sweet Home is one of the most iconic solos ever recorded. And honestly is the best album they've ever released. T.O.P. is just a perfect mix of rock, metal, and pop. Its legendary and molded many musical styles of up and coming bands.
@@MrJackcorgi I wondered the same, though Sixx states "Adrenaline!"...Though aside from Sixx and Pulp Fiction I've Never heard of Adrenaline being used in an overdose case!..

I agree with you, man. Mick deserves all things good. I like guitarists with that Yardbirds influence and Mick's style is definitely what stands out in Motley Crue. Rpck 'n roll music, in my opinion, is all about the guitar. Too many people in this world judge a book by its cover but there are those who know better.
“Home Sweet Home” was so phenomenal and new when it came out. Just watched the Dirt. I’ll never be able to explain the 80’s to my 21 year old daughter- it was just a different feeling
Erin Tolva same age as your daughter and I somewhat understand and like the eighties. I like bands like the Crüe, Metallica, Def Leppard, guns n roses and van Halen. Basically the only stuff I don’t care for is some of the fashion. Also some of the eighties pop style synth is making a come back, check out the Weeknd- blinding lights and I feel it coming if you’d like. 😁
Just imagine how awesome those monsters of rock tours were with Motley playing third? AC/DC and MEtallica and Motley on one stage is literally too much. People today have no idea how good music used to be.
Oh! C'mon, I read this shit everywhere: " People don't know about good music these days!" Like you know about good music listening to Mötley Crüe. Fuck off!!!
"They were the wild side...and I was the blues side." Ab-so-fucking-lute-ly, Mick...and I'm glad to say it. Mick's a very underrated musician, somewhat eclipsed by his band mates by the myopic sight of mainstream rock-n-roll history, but a truly great musician and riffsman.
Well put, his blues based playing is very underrated and gave them their sound. Especially crossed with the rock/punk stuff. A lot of his riffs (Wild Side & Girls, Girls, Girls) are very blues based if you listen closely
10:32 10:37 I'm 22 and my dad always plays Motley Crue. Motley Crue is my favorite band, and I love listening to the 80s albums. We finally saw them together this summer. Loved seeing them.
I've always been more fascinated by the band than their music. I like their music but I really like the guys. I will say that Tommy has always been an underrated drummer. His groove was always rock solid.
Same! I'm not super into their music although it's fun rock and roll excess, but the band themselves are what makes them worth listening and learning about. I wish the movie adaptation of "The Dirt" was better than it was, the casting was fantastic, decent cinematography, but the script was pretty weak and lazy.
Tommy has such a unique sound and rhythm to his drumming. It's distinctive. Like, the first time I heard Rob Zombie's, "Meet the Creeper," I was thinking it totally sounded like Tommy. It was him... he just kills it!
I have the same illness as Mic. It’s awful pain and to watch him play as long as he did was incredible!! 😘. The first band that ‘hooked’ me on rock n roll. I’ve seen them so many times. Last concert I was right in front of the stage❤️❤️.
I'm 51 and was 15/16 when kiss, motley crue, wasp, cinderella and all the glam-metal band was the soundtrack of my life, of my first girlfriend, my first kiss, my first bike and later my first car, the best moment and the most important moment of my life. And i must say that now i'm 51 and listen EVERYDAY to this music, especially because i'm feeling young again. I feel the same sensation like the passt, i close my eyes and feel like a jump in this magic years when i was young and i I didn't know how lucky I was. Thanks guys, you gave me the best moment and the best music in my life. I was more fans of Kiss but i think you are maybe the best glam metal band in the world and of all time. Shout, looks that kill, wild side... This is history of music, history of all we people who now having grey hair and listen to your songs again and again.
Dubbio I'm 50 I so 1000% agree with you... We were so lucky to experience the magic those years afforded us... Truth be told I keep my Netflix subscription just so I can watch The Dirt anytime I want... I was there at those concerts there was a magical force that blanketed us
Watching this video 9 year later as a 16 year old. My dad grew up listening to you guys and so have I. I went and saw them in Pittsburgh for their stadium tour this last summer. Now Mick Mars is retiring from touring and you are about to go on the world tour. It's was wonderful seeing you guys especially considering I thought I'd never get to.
When Nikki says, "Something happens," when they are all together, I know what he means. What that is, is called MAGIC. It's their energy vibing together on the same wavelength. I have seen it with other bands or even other working groups. It's when you gel and the magic happens.
I adore motley crue I only discovered them at 36 I wish I'd discoverd them as a teenager being a black English woman I didn't get to hear them in the uk ,the guys are great so talented and the music is awesome keep rocking on motley crue!xxxxx
I think the better way to frame this argument is to say mainstream music. Mainstream music was better in the 80’s. Underground music is incredible today!
@@juansolo7462 how about highly suspect,royaleblood, nothing but thieves, greta van fleet. All amazing. You could easily put if i get higher acoustic (by nothing but thieves)or vanity (by highly suspect)acoustic version up there qith the beautiful prince music. And those bamd have amazing rock ballads as well. You just arent looking hard enough for the good music. Get off the top 40 list and voila wonderful original music. Slick tiger has it right^^ mainstream better in 80s underground better than mainstream today.
My metal head cousin convinced this country kid to go to see one of their very first gigs in Canada in Hull, Quebec for their Shout At The Devil tour. I just remember being fascinated by the punk scene at the time and I was intrigued by how raw Vince’s vocals sounded so away I went to my very first concert. Old hockey arena and all general admission. I was right at the stage. Even came away with one of Nikki’s bass picks. He was my favorite member right from the start. I loved his look. We bussed to the gig but had to walk all the way back across too Ontario because it let out after the city busses stopped running. Lol. Me and my cousin were so innocent back then we were 14 yrs old and stone cold sober and straight and we had a blast! I’ve been a huge fan ever since. Thanks cousin Joel.
Mr. RIZZ I haven't seen it yet,.and not sure when I will, I heard there was a lot crammed into two hours and they had to skip ALOT of stuff, but other then that...what did you think of the movie
@@judithjohnson5532 i myself loved it. Im 40 yo n I pretty much grew up on hip hop but loved Metallica n other 80's bands so just to c what "possibly" went on with one of the best bands ever...Awesome! Plus it was written n produced by the actual band so I'm sure most of it was accurate. I def give it 👍
@Andy Salter even tho im 40yo i wasnt a metal head but loved Metallica, Motley Crue and others 80's bands. Just seeing this movie just made me have a new respect for them thats all i was saying. I guess seeing is believing!✌
Mr. RIZZ thanks I'm 52 Vince's age and from southern Calif when the rise of the sunset hair bands was going on, what great time to live ( just sucks getting old, and it sucks the music now lol) thanks for the thumbs up. just wanted opinions🤣
@@judithjohnson5532 you know what else is a great read? Slash's autobiography. Fucking amazing. Being from So Cal, like you are, you'd really appreciate the places he names and things he did there. Just one quick 1.. he was talking about David Lee Roth had an apartment on the strip somewhere. The front door didn't have a doorknob and wouldn't stay shut. Slash and Adler went there and Slash says Roth had a platter full of coke and sat against the front door and just ripped lines. Didn't offer any up either! Lol. But those, of course, were Slash's heroin days. The best concert I've ever been to was in Weedsport, NY in 1989. GnR were just getting big and they opened for Aerosmith on their Permanent Vacation tour. GnR fucking shredded it!!! Axl wasn't bitching yet and they were tight! You're absolutely correct about those were the days!!! Miss em
Mick Mars is impossible not to love, he is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, and so mellow and laid back. This band has been my favorite since I was literally 7.
I remember when it was Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer” that was #1 for longer than I know. To a point where the VJ kinda got pissed at the callers picking the same thing everyday for so long. He apologized the next day. “You Give Love, Prayer & Dead or Alive” all obviously came after “Home Sweet Home” and they lasted way longer than it did to my recollection. I think “the rule” came after Bon Jovi in 1987.
+Jennifer Dervin You know what Jennifer Crue was MY era, I posted how I got my crue cassette in another posting, but you're so right. This year as they are supposedly on their final tour, Mick does not get the respect he deserves, but when I see these lists of "riff" guitarists, memorable riffs, there's always Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, EVH, and so on, and Mars is never even thought of, but he IS a riff guitar player, created those riffs we all remember and he should get more praise. Live wire, shout at the devil, too young to fall in love, girls girsl girls, and so on....these are GUITAR player memorable AND original riffs. I read your post and it made me think that yes you're right, he gets little love from others because he's a quiet guy who stayed out of trouble who was well-liked by everyone else. Good guy.
But they didn't. These guys went to war with each other time and again. They certainly brought chemistry with each other but they are all very passionate and that passion can cause horrible fights.
Read the dirt back in 2011. Row 5 at Blossom Music Center for the farewell tour. And watched the dirt at 7am the first day it came out. They are by far in my top 5 favorite bands of all time.
Were chompin' at the bit for Stadium Tour! I love all the bands, so I hope all will be still on the docket. And certainly ALL still alive. COVID is taking out all ages and stages
In October of 1987, I saw Motley Crue @ Day on the Green in Oakland, California with Poison and White snake. I was 7 months pregnant with my oldest son, I even had a T-shirt made that said "Baby's First Concert". It was my 25th birthday and it was the best birthday ever, Thank you Motley Crue! P.S. my son rocks out with you! Fan for life!!
What a musical journey. Always a big inspiration. And what good memories their music has brought to my life. Good times. Mötley Crüe! Mötley Crüe! We're always gonna love you!!!
I've been listening since 14... 32 years and still one true Crue fan! I couldn't have made it out of teen years without you guys. You have always been at the top for me!
one of my best bands when i was in my crazy era. the crue showed allot of bands how things were done. bad boys running wild. still love em forever. mick is so cool , i love that guy man.
Nikki wrote the songs and had the initial concept of what the band should be. Mick and Tommy carried the band in the live setting and studio. Vince was good looking and a great entertainer. They all brought something different to the band.
Grew up with these guys and still today their is something about them that I never felt with any other band. Been there since the beginning and cant believe that its now the end. This world is going to feel a bit more empty without the Crue.
I appreciate these guys more now in my early 50’s than I did in my teens and 20’s. Their music is that good that I still crank it every time it comes on. It brought me here.
I was born in the late 70's and grew up on Motley. Their music is/was so raw and chaotic. My older sister would lock us out of her room but we'd sit right by the door and listen to her play MC, Ratt, GNR, KISS, etc. I've been searching for some good docs, that I haven't yet seen, and this one popped up. The Dirt (book) was one of the BEST reads. Gonna have to pick that one back up again soon. #kittylitter
Mick isn't and never was an "underrated" guitarist. Those who know anything about playing guitar always respected and appreciated his chops from day one.
I'm 39 and have always loved them my son is 11 and loves them to my other son is 22 and he also loves them this music has made it through generations and will continue to do so
One of my all time favorite bands! I remember being 12 years old and having to lie to my parents so I could go with my 2 friends to see Motley Crue play. It was the girls, girls, girls tour with guns and roses opening for them with appetite for destruction 1988! Best nite of my life to see them both at that age 🤘🏼
There were so many great bands in the 80's and 90's but Motley Crew is timeless! The music they wrote has always stood tall on it's own merits. I've been a fan for 30 years and never got tired of this band.
"The blade of my knife faced away from your heart....those last few nights it turned and sliced you apart..." Only Motley Crue could write a love song about a guy killing his girlfriend! LOL
Nicki sixx Is an amazing songwriter. One of the first albums I listened to was the Dr feel-good album. My dad and mom had a huge record player with a 6 disc changer and when I was a kid that was a big deal. My father would put in motley and I was blown away. Hooked since the age of 6 bad ass great bunch of men.
It's so cool that Mic gets so much love for his contribution to music, not jus Mötley Crüe, I mean music as a whole!! Back in the 80's, the other three got a lot more attention for their antics, and that's not saying that their talent wasn't noticed, but for the most part, Tommy, Nikki and Vince were the "Rockstars", Mic was the musician, and he is now getting his due and proper at last!!
Mick Mars one of the most underrated guitarists of all time, it's a shame that the most underrated album couldn't get a mention, the real motley fans will know the one i'm talking about, when I say real fans I mean the ones who respect a band for trying something different.
Best years of my life!! These guys were and still are gods!! Thanks for some many great stories and music that changed music for eternity. I loved seeing you guys backstage so many times and being invited to so many hotel parties.
I’m here after watching the Dirt Nikki Sixx story is amazing 😉 After addiction to Heroin and alcohol 🍷 coke pills 💊 and to get clean is great he was spending £5 grand a day on drugs... great story and the biop on Netflix the dirt is a good watch respect and 💖 to Mötley Crüe especially to Nikki Sixx You’re an inspiration
Billy Irving I actually had no idea there was a movie until the day after it came out. The best surprise period. The only thing I don't like about it was Pete Davidson. That's my only complaint with the movie.
Mick Mar's HOME SWEET HOME guitar solo, is simply powerful and well created. Has a little bit of almost everything! One of my Top 10 all time favorite guitar solos. Somewhere between 1-5!🙏🇺🇸💪
Im a 51 year old business man. I remember being in woodshop in high school and my buddy had me listen to Livewire. Yeah, that was a game changer for me. Love Motley.
Plus.....I never knew Nikki was the brains behind the band. Even in his worst state hiding in his closest thinking the bad people were coming for him, so he flushes all his drugs down the toilet (read the book)...he still was in control of the band and wrote almost all the lyrics and the basis of all songs. Just amazing!! One day it will catch up. They know it. But what a life of living on their terms and not societies. Just for a minute...I think we would all like to live life on our own terms and not how society tells us how to live. But one who tried....what brings you back is family, friends, love for life and love for a good day. One can never explain the darkness unless they have seen it. But one who has seen it is able to keep others from going to the Wild Side! It is fun at first.....but no way to live a life. But that doesn't mean the music can't continue. Love the music....live a good life....love the music!!
4:40 Just visited the Whiskey on Jan 27th. I could feel the history in that place. I just looked around and thought "This is where my two of my all-time fave bands played when they were just starting out." (Crue and Zeppelin) What an amazing place in time!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE MOTLEY CRUE! My grandmother bought me 3 of their albums one day and actually liked them! I have only seen them 4 times so far sadly. Nikki's voice is so hypnotic. Very ASMR!
definitely one of my all-time favorite rock groups! saw them in '83 at US Festival in San Bernadino with thousands of other heavy metal fans.... probably one of the youngest fans there at age 4! (probably what lead to me getting into trouble requesting 'shout at the devil' during grade school music class for sing along.... ) but yeah they've always been one of my favorites. great story seeing how all those songs came together.
+DildosForChristmas hes got the heart to keep going though, hes gonna continue making music after the nye 2015 bash of their final tour, love him and the other three and the music
+DildosForChristmas What Mick says at 27:43 is SOOO fucking awesome (about a guitar solo)! That's why their music has stuck around past the 80s. Ever try to hum the solo to "Cult of Personality"? GOOD FUCKING LUCK!
***** Hoolee Shit ! I didn't realize he was that old. Keep on rockin' Mick. Even tho the rest of the crue are fuckin' jerks you RULE dude. my prayers are with you man. Luv ya.
I just love Mick's comments. So funny without having to put that many words out. I really like to see them in interviews, love their storytelling skills. Go Crüe 🤘🏻
