I SPENT THE DAY WITH MICK MARS - FULL EPISODE OF 'LIFE IN SIX STRINGS' POWERED BY MUSIC DRIVES US 

Mick Mars is Motley Crue..Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil were lucky to have had such a talented and cool guitarist as Mick .

I have AS and Mick is my yardstick to measure what is possible. He's an inspiration.

Mick Mars WAS MOTLEY! Without his guitar work it wouldn’t have happened, and he did it while suffering from AS, god bless ya mick we love ya!

We all get old and we all die of something. This man has lived 1000 lives in one. Cheers Mick, we love ya brother.

I love how Mick becomes himself when they start talking about his guitars

The average person cannot imagine the utter physical suffering that patients with ankylosing spondylitis endure over decades as well as the insidious remodeling, fusing, and permanent deforming of the spine. Mick deserves all the credit in the world for his musical footprint, we all should know that. But I give him more credit for his ability to carry on and even thrive in spite of the AS.

Hearing Mick talk about his AS was heart wrenching. It’s such an evil disease. When he speaks of how his band mates didn’t understand what he was going through, he summed up the isolation of the suffering this disease places on a person. Unless you have it (or any disease for that matter), you cannot truly understand what a person is going through and tasks that seem simple to anyone else can be traumatic for a sufferer. All power to Mick for what he has achieved through adversity.

Thanks for the great work Mick, and Kylie for giving us a chance to spend time with a cool gentle soul

Man-Mick-if you read this-man I am so sorry you’re had to deal with this horrible horrible disease; I’ve gotta say I have huge respect for the power you have to conquer a career, family, pain, more pain-the falling, the getting back up, making appointments, appearing in front of the world in a body that feels like a 40 lb cinder block hanging from a strap around your head. It’s incredible what you’ve overcome. Let’s just leave the success in an industry alone. Achieving that success is almost impossible; but try doing it with constant pain, I’m gobsmacked. I thought I had achieved things with my body problems. I have but to see an insight into what it’s like for you. Dude: my hat is off to you. I’m not a Motley “fan” guy-(don’t get me wrong-I like the guitar tone and playing) (they’re not in my “favorites “ on Apple Music) I’m fan of people who in the face of enormous adversity have the heart of a lion and push past that to have a life of accomplishment-what ever that is to them. You are that man-one of the few I’ve known of.

Absolute legend! Not only is he one of the greatest players to ever walk the face of the earth, but what he has accomplished while fighting that horrible disease is absolutely phenomenal! Fantastic video, thank you so much for posting!

Mick, if you read this…..you’re the best! Love ya!

I consider he as the next gen of heavy metal guitarist after Tony Iommi. Tony created the heavy riffs, and Mick took it to another level.

Mick is totally up there in the legends people place ! He rocks in a massive way . And right here a gentleman opened his door . He is very important in rock and music . God bless him

Saw your video on RU-vid and may God Richly Bless you and may Jesus Christ show you His GREAT love that He has for each of YOU ❤️ Just ask Him to show you personally His Love as He did to me years ago 😊

Kylie made this interview work.. Such positive beautiful vibes allowed Mick to actually open up and discuss several issues besides only the guitar.. He looks super frail now, maybe that fresh Tennessee air, life will help his journey.. He was sneakily checking out your beauty and probably thought, man if this was back in the day I'd give it go look too 😅 Thanks again

Mick was a huge inspiration to pick up the guitar so happy you interviewed him!

I've never been a Motley fan. They came out when I was in high school. As a guitar player too even back then I was impressed with his guitar tone/sound. That guitar sound really did create an identity for Motley Crue. BTW, Mick really did name the band. I only have respect for one member of that band. Mick. He was and is badass. 🤘

Mick is awesome, and a great guitar player...

Great video - I see Motley Crue in a whole new way after watching this.

Mick, thank you for allowing us peons to see you perform. I saw you in Edmonton, Alberta for the Stadium Tour. It was a great concert. Take care & God Bless!

Incredible. ABSOLUTELY . We are watching an interview with living rock and roll history . This is really good stuff. Thanks very much .

I love the Mars man. sound of my childhood.

My inspiration for playing guitar period. I love you man and wish you all the best. Your legacy will never be forgotten and lived out forever. God Bless

Mick Màrs is very creative. Lots of good music. God bless him. And yourself young lady ❤️🙏🇺🇲💯🎸🎸. And Yes he was the glue that kept Motley together 💯

LEGEND...end of story!

Glad he won his case against the other members of the Band. They tried to cut him out ! A founding member, and the only great part of the band. He was different and really unique, rocked with a Warlock Guitar and makes the rest ot the band seem......rudimentary :) Thanks for this !!!

Thanks Mick for the great music!!

Such an inspiration this man. Just wow....

How has it taken me this long to stumble across this Foxy Angel? I love Mick. What a soldier!

I really enjoyed this video interview. You were so professional, gave him time to speak and answer, but more importantly, you were like a friend, allowing him to share a bit of his story, including his pain. Yes, like everyone has stated, and I agree wholeheartedly, what an incredible musician, incredibly unique artist, and all with a kind humlity rarely seen from someone of his caliber and success. To top it off, he is showing what this terrible disease can do, but more importantly, he is showing how his spirit is tougher than this disease and how he fights it. He fights it, and he wins! He wins because he does not let it rule his life as he shoots for his dreams. I am pretty certain it is a lot of mundane work, constant practice, many bouts of despair, and just constant walls, going after those dreams. No, that wasn't going to stop him, Mick is a warrior and warrior's fight. I'm sure he hopes someone in despair and not fighting may see this and start fighting for their dreams and goals, just like he did. Mick has given us great entertaintment we may enjoy any and all the time, but what Mick is giving to that one person out there ready to hang it up, is more than I or most of us can imagine, he is the living embodiment of humility, hard work, perseverance, and not letting the fight fade away. I bet there are many that he has helped just by this interview and his candor. Thanks for your candor, Mick, and thank you, Kylie, for your incredible interview and kindness. It shined through.

mick is genuine,the real deal! super kind,and all class.

Micks solo material is great. Love your jacket kylie

I'm sure I'm going out on a limb and going to catch heck for it, but as a guitar player (that yes, learned Eddie, speed picking, 2 handed & 8 finger tapping, sweep picking, & whammy bar tricks) I'm going to comment from this angle. BUT FIRST...in watching a few vids of Mick, what I've learned (which I'll share at the end) is SO much more deep and revealing of him. So... Mick as a guitar player (I was developing my skill set at the time) was, simply put, nothing to write home about at the time. Yes, he had his moments, but those were...moments. He never seemed to cause that "damn, I need to hear that again!" or "WOW!!!"--not for (serious) guitar players. But in reflecting on those times, Mick FIT! The Cruë was never known as being top grade musicians, but they had the "IT" factor. And Mick fit them like a hand-in-glove. For the Cruë, he was their "secret sauce." He was a type of impressive that I'll never touch (e.g., money made, cars owned, nice home [and studio] owned, likely got plenty more girls than I, and the spendy guitar collection....) But, again, he was not a guitarist one would rant and rave about. Now, as I stated earlier, in this interview Mick seems very humble and matter-of-fact. It's almost like a professional race car driver that's spent 20 years speeding, screeching, swerving around a track; now those are like, "Meh, been there done that; now what?" I enjoyed this video and getting to "see" Mick (to a degree) aside from Mötley Crüe Mick.

Thanks for making this video long live to Mick! What a badass

In my early 40’s and is one of my favorite guitarists of all time. There is no Crue without Mick.🤘🎸🤘

great interview Kylie. Everyone should watch 3:22 over and over

Great video and interview Mick seems like such a great person.

Great interview. Thank you. 🙂

Who could go through a.s.,like he has? He is amazing. I have arthritis in my lower back, from many injuries. Every day, it's tough to stand up straight. I can't imagine what Mick has gone through, for decades...

The best part of Motley was and always will be the sound of MICK’s GUITAR 😊 FN HUGE 🤘 Love the CD 💿 Mick Your legacy is locked in😊

Mick looks like he could be Alice Cooper's older brother. Bless his heart.

Cool guy. I remember being sooooo gutted when MC cancelled their tour in the 80s. We were in Edinburgh and Nikki Sixx had had some kind of overdose. Saw them a year later and loved Tommy’s revolving drum kit at the Playhouse. Loved Sixx and his Thunderbird. Loved Tommy and his leather Speedos. Only years later I realise Bob was the absolute killer, main-man, of the band.

love mick

Great video! Mick is an incredible musician and person!

Fantastic! Thank you very much! ❤

What a cool and seemingly decent guy! I always thought his talent was much greater than the credit he got for it. And as for his recent album, 'The Other Side Of Mars': Well, when i first heard that, it just blew my mind! Far better than anything with Motley Crue printed on it. And i like the Crue, really i do, but i'm just being honest. Amazing album! You're the man, Mick. You rock! 🤟🏻😎🎸

I Love Mick, he and I share a simular spine issue. I'm slowly degrading, and most people don't understand the pain. I look up to this man, who keeps it real. I saw Mick at a car dealership in thousand Oaks California back in the 90's. I wanted to say hello, but I felt it would be disrespectful and wanted to respect his private life.

Mick is National Treasure and his riffs and playing are Legend.

What a super nice guy. It’s obvious that it’s very difficult for him. He has to bend his knees and lean back just to look her in the eyes, but he’s polite and pleasant anyway. Mick was the sound of the Crue.

Great to see Mick out and about.

Along with my uncle, Mick is the reason I've spent my life learning guitar. What an incredible human being Mr. Mars is.

Very cool guy.........I saw MC twice, once in the late 80's and again in the early 90's and Mick just rocked the show!

Mick Mars is an Amazing guitarist and so underrated in my opinion!!🤘🔥🤘🎸🎵🎶

this was excellent -thanks Kylie & Mick!

Really surprised how small and humble he is…seems a really nice guy.

Very inspiring to hear about his drive/motivations, hats off. Great interview, again👏

Saw Motley open for Ozzy. Still the best concert ever 😉

This was awesome! Love Mick !

Thanks for posting Kylie 🎸🇺🇸

Great LISS episode again.. Interesting stories.. lot of guitars.. And: "Hendrix's wall" of Marshalls.. Thank You Kylie!! ❤️🤗.. Thank You Mick!! 🤘🎸👍

Very cool to hear the man speak. Pure genius. I keep thinking Alice Cooper while watching.

Seeing Mike looking frail from AS, yet coping with humour and his fighting spirit is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Love his sound, and one of my favorite concert memories was the Girls Tour 87, listening to the sound guys honing in that Mick Mars tine and sound. Awesome. Tommy and Nikki put on a great show, but Mick was the anchor, keeping it together on both Girls and Dr Feelgood.

He is the heart of MC..always will be

Incredibly happy to watch this. MM is doing quite well. Those F'n Strat's. I always said MM did his own MOD's same as EVH, but his own way and I feel comfortable supporting that statement. I am only 11:30 into the vid.

What a great interview, thank you Kylie for showing everyone another side of a true rock legend!

Mick was the best in the band. He carried them.

Great man!

Hi Kylie, amazing episode!!!! Mick is absolutely amazing he carried Motley Crue! And you are very pretty 😍😘

Mick Mars One of the BEST.

Love that guy ❤

This is brilliant. All of it. Thank you Mick & Kylie.

Another video on one of my favorite guitarists! Thanks Kylie!

very cool and Mick guitar was and is the whole crue sound

Wow. I didn't know he had that condition, and it's inspiring that he hasn't let that stop him. Thankfully he can still play the guitar! And write good songs too.

Immortal riff maker!!!!

We love you Mick.

A true legend!🤘

All the best to Mick! He’s a warrior. 🎸 Great episode.

Best Channel on RU-vid! Thanks Kylie

Great interview Kylie 😊

I love his guitar and solo on Girls Girls Girls

Franklin is South of Nashville, just a minor detail.

Absolute Gem of a Gentleman. And a true MUSIC LOVER,And still Thriving to write, play and pursue TONE And STILL 100 % pulling it off. It almost seems he is too down to earth, unselfish and Real to be in Motley. GODBLESS you SIR. CHEERS, ZACK

cool episode, you did a good job, Kylie

GREAT interview Girl !! Obviously he's a Good guy. They just Narc bashed him like all narcs do...

🇬🇧 Thank you Kylie for such an insightful interview with Mick. I appreciate your intelligent, fun questions and positive attitude with your guests. Looking forward to your next episode. Rock on Kylie 😎👍!!!

Another great interview. He seemed quite reticent initially, but really began to open up, particularly about the horrible disease he is saddled with. Well researched with questions that teased out interesting responses from a legendary musician. Keep them coming!

Mick is sooo cool and talented! Love this interview!

Great interview. 👍 So impressive that he showed up when they tried to get band back together while the others where whining and complaining. Solid dude. 👍

Great interview….Mick Mars is such an underrated guitarist, absolute Legend 🤘🏾🍻

Mick is such a humble dude,other performers ( nikki sixx and the rest of the crue,,, should be more like him 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻rock on Mick🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

He seems so incredibly sweet. Poor giy dealing with AS!! I have severe spine issues so I feel for him.

He is metal and feelings.. Guitar God actually, .❤❤❤

😂my parents gave a Pluto or Goofy guitar hard wired to a matching plastic amp from Sears. That's the 1st one I learned to tune.👍🎸🐬

Mick rules!

a perfect living room, Marshall stacks as far as the eye can see!

🔥🔥🔥🤟

I've done sound for 1000's of acts, there are the crazies and i find most of them are really humble akward normal human beings..... god speed Mick
