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...
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 .
I have loved Motley Crue since high school. I am terribly sad that MC robbed Mick of the majority of his ownership in the band. I have seen them sooooo many times. I won't see them without the full band.
Motley has been done for a few decades. Mick WAS the talent in that band. Even suggested the name. They were trying to replace him since the 80's. Backstabbers
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/
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.
They should have stopped at the lie "Farewell Tour" that was just to sellout 3 nights and fatten the bank account. Vince's performance on those shows were so bad I couldn't watch it on AXIS. Nikki Sixx has such an inflated ego that it has blocked his brain and ears. They are nothing bit a pathetic joke now. Mick owes them nothing and they owe him everything. 🤘🎸
"driven by greed" says Nikki sixx ,,, the fake bass player that said he would never come back after 2015!!,, now charging 2500$ a ticket,,, so people can listen to backing tracks and watch pyrotechnics,, with a bass that shoots flames ... What a joke ...
Without Mick there is no Crue facts he was the bedrock and gave the name so it's not a true motley Crue and I have no respect 4 the rest of the band fk em and John 5 can never fill micks shoes
mick is nothin more than a hypocrite,he was quite happy to take all the dollars,must have known early on about the backing tapes said nothing until now no respect for that man or the rest of them either , DROSS
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.
@@leewirt9380 now that is awesome !!.. I used to be a stage hand rigger,, I hung the light trusses and sound for alot of bands , but I never got to do a motley crue show,, they were my favorite 80s band ,, mick mars is someone ide truly love to shake his hand and tell him what an influence he has left in his "loud , rude and aggressive" guitar playing !! Lol
He is on Swine too but only on guitar no vocals. He was laying down tracks for it when Vince came back and messed everything up. But some of those songs have Corabi on them.
The new song Dogs of war sucks. Motley has been lousy since the decadence greatest hits album although the Motley Crue album was decent but they went into too much grunge.
Aaah.. I like a few tunes off "New Tattoo" and "St. Of Los Angelas" but NOTHING comes close to their '80s hayday. I don't consider the self titled one to be a Crue album at all though. It just doesn't "feel" right to me. Just my opinion.
Mick Mars hell yeah, that´s my Mick. This is sad, this situation between Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars is sad, i never thought i would see this. Sad sad Sad.
Nikki wanted to replace him back in the 80's .. both Bob Daisley , and Jake e Lee have both said Nikki told them this back then . Nikki is a snake , it doesn't surprise me he would be like this in the current issue .
The research here is awful. He was in school with Steve Martin who is 6 years older? The Corabi album is Self Titled. “Generation Swine” is Vince’s return…..
Well, first I did preface the video saying that the info from his younger years I got from the book Motley Rock Stories by Jack Valentine and that some of the info could be inaccurate. Yeah, Steve Martin is older so that piece is incorrect. You are also correct, I completely messed up on the album, it was self-Titled Motley Crue, not Generation Swine Corabi was on. My bad, thanks for watching!
Mick was the Crue. They needed the older more experienced dude to bring balance to their image and sound. And thats always what I liked about them. It's not Crue now.
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
Opps not done. Anyway, I give John 1 world tour and one album, and he will leave ! Rob Zombie doesn't drink or do drugs,who many albums did he do with Manson, 1. 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!
I was watching a tribute/documentary about Lemmy, and in it they were interviewing bass players and friends of his. Well Mr. Sixx was part of it and the dude was stoned as could be. I'm like what? I thought you "sober"? He's so full of crap. I have since heard of California sober. Where you drink wine and smoke weed, but where I come from, sober means laying it all down.
If they would have replaced Mick with Jake E Lee, Crue would have quickly died. I’m 100% on team Mick. Such an incredible artist and guitar player. All those riffs. Incredible. Sad to see it all ending like this as they collectively made their dreams come true through years of hard work. Sad.
The only album with Corabi was really on the Motely Crue, Not Generation Swine. Mick has actually said Motley Crue album was his favorite album. The more you you.
Love the vid dude, learned a lot about mick. By the way if your story about having one of the first Too Fast For Love records than that is bad ass dude
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 .
Your information is wrong on Vinces departure.. John Corabi was on the self titled Motley Cue album with the si gle Hooligans Holiday. after poor rdcird and concert ticket sales Cirabi was let go and Vince returned to record Generation Swine
What did I get wrong on Vince's departure, I said either left of was fired so that kinda covers it :) You are right, I was incorrect on Generation Swine. I messed that up. Thanks for watching!
Also the name motley crue came from the studio techs. As they walked in (all 4 members) they were known as Christmas. This is where the name was born. Don't they look like a mottley crew.
Not arguing that Nikki was part of it. In my opinion they lost their magic when they started cutting Mick out of the writing process, so that's where I'm coming from. I will say I loved Sixx AM. Thanks for watching!
Nikki had the dream and songs, but Mick had the hunger. Everyone knows that no one person writes a song start to finish without the band having their say so. I do see the group effort being part of it here and everything going through a filtering process of song writer, band, producer and label.
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
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
@@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!
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!
Liked the earlier stuff. After that. Lost some interest in their songs. Just didn't have it anymore. The songs. Then you got the fake crap on stage and mick leaving. Good luck Mick.
Your info is wrong John carabi played on the Motley Crue album not generation swine . Vince was on generation swine you don’t really know your Motley facts do you
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. And by him being that way it’s a reflection on the other guys
The original guitar player, dang that still catches me off guard .I truly like John , The man is great just wish he wasn't in the middle , great bank I'm sure ,cant hate on that just kinda makes me wonder if he may of sharpened that knife for Nikki before he stuck it in Micks back, hate to think he would .
Making up an alias to avoid paying for your kids is a scumbag thing to do. Truth be told it's just one of the many things Mick has done to sour his reputation thru the years. That said in a band like Motley Crue, it's pretty par for the course to be a bad human being.
Why the hell would you say the Album Corabi did was Generation Swine? That was Vince. Corabi sang on the beat Album they ever did. Motley Crue Motley Crue.
@stevelongmusic880 I saw Corabi and the Scream open up for the Bullet Boys. He was AMAZING LIVE! Then a few months later Motley Announced him as the new singer. I saw them live and it was one of the best sounding concerts I've ever been to. I love the self titled album. To me it doesn't sound dated even today. And I think we would have gotten 5 to 10 more great albums with them had they stuck with him.
Thank you for respecting the man. I just saw a clickbait vid captioned "Mick Mars' Tragic News" or some bs. Dude just used Mick's disease for clicks. I went iff on that ho. Btw, I saw Van Halen 2 days in a row. Friday night in Louisiana then Saturday downtown Dallas free show. Check out that video bro. Anyway, tganks again for posting a legit video.
Like what? Because I said Corabi sang on Swine instead of Motley Crue, cuz I was wrong, or because I said he went to school with Steve Martin, because I was wrong there too, they are about 6 years apart. I did preface the video saying that I got a lot of the the info about his younger years from the book Motley Rock Stories by Jack Valentine and that some of the info could be inaccurate. But if there are other things, please let me know what they are. Thanks for watching!
The Corabi album was the self titled 94 release. Although Generation Swine was written with Corabi, they decided to bring back Vince and record/release it. The album sucked but had a couple decent songs.
Man,, thank you for this ,, motley crue was my favorite 80s metal band ,, im now 50.. and ive had a change in what I thought they were !!!.. MICK MARS is the crue !!!.. I lost all respect for them !!!.. he is the talent that made them!!!..
Micks a down to earth guy, he was way ahead of nikki,and tommy and Vince but he could mold them. He should have dipped out after toast of the town. I liked john cobri? They was good together. And that album with john is the best sound. And vocals. The rest is cotton candy metal.nikki sold his soul to be a cheerleader at best.
Corabi WAS NOT on Generation Swine! He was on the Crue album entitled, "Motley Crue". It was available in yellow font or red. Yea, Mick did not like the Generation Swine album but he became GREAT friends with Corabi during the recording of the 'Motley Crue' album, and they still are to this day. Get your facts straight. Not hatin', just sayin'.
Thanks for the great tribute to a super great guitar player,Mick Mars.He was the best of the 80's decade,Shout at the Devil has been in my CD player since it was released and will never come out in this lifetime.I also find for the plaintiff,case closed!
