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.

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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.

"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
@@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.
“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!!!
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!
@@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'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
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❤️❤️.
10:3210:37 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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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!!!
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.
+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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.

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
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.
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.
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!
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!!
"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
+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 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
I find it kind of weird to think about that most people think (including myself) that Mick Mars was the most unnapreciated or forgotten member of the biggest hair metal band ever during a generation that was all about guitar solos!
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.
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!
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 🤘🏼
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.
The Crue, like many other rock bands in history have had their good, bad, great and sad moments. No matter what, I can personally say, they are a GREAT bunch of guys. I met the band in Chicago in the late 90s (I won't say where for privacy of the band). Tommy wasn't there, having gotten himself busted for something that had to do with his wife/girlfriend at the time..The guys walked in with their attorney/body guard following them. (He was wearing a suit) They all looked pretty normal to me with the exception of Vince who at the time, had blond and green hair. I knew OF the band but looking like normal fellows I didn't recognize them and jokingly said to Vince, "Whats with the green hair, Sporto? If you're trying to do the "incognito" thing, you might want to try red." (I have red hair n was just joshing around not knowing who these guys were). Vince started laughing and asked if I knew who they were. I said, "Let me guess...big rock stars and you n your green hair are hiding from the crowds of screaming stalkers n freaky people!" (More laughter) he answered, "Rock stars, yes, hiding from fans -never, we love all our fans. Without them, we wouldn't be rock stars!" (They joked around with each other saying, "You wish you were a rock star" blah blah n turning to Vince, I said, "Well damn glad to meet ya, Rock Star!" We talked n joked a little more , and they left. During the silliness, I forgot to ask who they really were.. Strange enough, Two days later, I seen Vince and his green highlighted hair on VH1 doing a short interview. It was MOTLEY CRUE! Truly, nice, normal (off stage) guys all of them. ROCK ON GUYS! YOU'RE A GREAT PART OF ROCK-N-ROLL HISTORY!
I believe the band gives Mic Mars a lot of credit. Speaking from the conversations. These guys are family. Nikki organized a surprise party for Mic to show him that he loved him so much, he had a portrait tattooed on his leg. Really Mic doesn't give a damn about being a rated guitarist. He lived a dream and an awesome life.
Its mick...second he does want the credit...he says so himself in the cruefest outtakes..and just because the band loves him doesnt mean he gets the credit from anyone else
Great interview. I have never seen this one before. Motley Crue has some great songs, and they were all written by Mick Mars. From "Too young to fall in love" to "She's Got the Looks that Kill" to "Shout at the Devil" to "Nona" to "Girls Girls Girls" to "Kick Start My Heart" etc... All of the hits were written by Mr. Mick Mars. Thank you Mick for all the great music.
No actually most were written by Nikki, for example, " Nona" is about Nikki's grandmother and how sad he was that he was too fucked up to go to her funeral...I love Mick but Nikki wrote most of the songs, I guess you could say Mick provided the backbone!🎸
Interesting that they completely ignored their self titled album with Corabi. I know it is still probably a sore subject with Vince but it's part of the bands history. Having been a diehard fan since 1983, I refused to give the album a chance in 1994 because to me Motley Crüe could only be "my buddies Sixx, Mick, (Vince) and Tom". I said at the time they should have called the band something other than Motley Crüe. I boycotted the band and the album. With time though, I was able to listen to that album with an unbiased ear and what a great album it is. Hooligan's Holiday is just a stellar track and to this day one of my favorite Crue songs.
(Nikki):'we all had so much money,we could not spend it....!!!!!!!!)I believe,today in 2015,they're over 100 million albums sold,not counting tickets fairs for the latest tours.........+shirts,hats,etc......
I just saw Motley Crue on August 16th in Indianapolis and they kicked ass !! And obviously Def Leppard and Joan Jett and poison they were awesome but I was there to see my liquor I've been a fan of there since 1982 and I finally got to see them !!
In my opinion Mick Mars doesn't get the credit that he deserves . And He's a very humble guy .
John Larson yes he does , Mick Gets a lot of credit and is loved big time and you saying a club wouldn't touch them without him is not true .
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.

I meant ohhhhh yeahhhhh
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 👍😎
That's cuz he does all his talking through his guitar
I can't imagine being in all that pain n still being an awesome guitarist
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.
Tommy Lee isnt well spoken. He sounds like hes perpetually hi on CKE
@@chriskelly4477 that's due to his ADHD ADD, he's always sounded like that, even way back when they first started. Def not because of drugs.
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.

Mick gets it. He talks about Clapton's fast riff vs. BB King 1 note with feeling. Mick gets it. He was the perfect guitar player for Crue.
I have seen them live and you're absolutely right about Mr Mars
@@muzicman75Yep, I also saw them live and it was a blast.
They nicknamed Clapton "Slow Hand" just saying. I respect Mick but I just don't know about that story.
@johnmichaelson9173 - Thats absolutely true. Different kinda thing Mick was talking about.
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 .
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.
He is the under dog but he rock's the gutauir
john larson For sure and the entire sound of the band comes from Micks guitar.
Rob I just wrote a post . Without Mick Mars , A club wouldn't even sign Them . That's a Fact .
You're so right he looked in pretty rough shape when I saw them in may but he played a guitar solo and it was absolutely ripping the man is a legend
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.
Either that one or girls girls girls. It's close with theater of pain
I don't wanna say it was a mess. But it was a mess.

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
I love his slide work in primal scream.
You should see the movie the Dirt. Me you a chair fucking out just like that. Just playing.... Hahahaha!
Mick mars carried a big part of the band, and the writing of Nikki.
And the unique voice of Vince and Tommy's drums

Rest is history.
💥Mick did yes BUT👇🏼 COMEON there was a WHOLE CREW OF studio people writing for them !!!
Be real
“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. 😁
Erin Tolva lmfao easy with the feelings bruh, they are over get over them. Old ppl be fuxking stuck in the 80s bruh
My kid was born in 1985.. he grew up listening to the Crue, Metallica etc.
Cody Sampson, you are a fucking moron!!
How many times did you get creampied in the groupie bus ?
My mom had a priest come in and bless the house after she found this album in my room. True story.
Lol God bless her !
Really that a bit dramatic.
Pretty sure that opened a portal to the underworld
Man shed be terrified of modern metal
@@carliebeau5329 lol...
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.
Nicki minaj is real music
LOL, thats funny. But for real, the poor fools of today actually think the current music is good.
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!!!
Tag Traum motley is the best band to ever live
Randy Lahey lolllll lmfao this dude I see your subscriptions for music and it’s horrible as fuck
I've Been listening to motley crue since I was 11.I'm 42 now and all their songs still rock
Jeff Coronado me 2 brother lol miss those days
@matt 33 hell yeah bro
@matt 33 hell yeah I remember head bangers ball.damn bro you brought back some good memories
@matt 33 that's when there was a lot of good music
Absolutely. Their first album is still my favorite and best. Mick is now my favorite member of the band!
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.
C'est vrai.
To me it’s Vince, but yeah I agree with you.... their personalities are great. They are all quite the characters!
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!
@@citypopFM agree , i thought the movie was garbage compared to the book, thank God to the actors
Mick is such an angel, we must protect him.
He is, huh? Love Mick
I agree 100%!!! Mick is a treasure. ❤
He's an alien
The Rock N' Roll Angel
Lol Nikki trying to pretend he doesn't know how he came up with kickstart my heart.
Kyle Pena Lmfaooooo this took me longer than it should’ve
Right ! LOL !
Narcan is amazing stuff
@@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!..
That was kinda cute tbh
Did Tommy not get the memo about wearing sunglasses?
ha! i can almost hear it: damn it tommy! we said sunglasses indoors, always!!
He decided to wear make up instead. Haha!
Tommy is a rebel!
Haha was thinking the same thing.
Tommy's never been a sun glasses guy
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
I'm around your age, and agree 💯!
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❤️❤️.
So sorry, I have an ex who has AS and it's so crippling. 😢
LOUD RUDE AND AGGRESSIVE GUITAR PLAYER MEEEEE!
the recycler newspaper.
You Mr Mars are a LEGEND! 🖤
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 hope Mick Mars's hip replacement surgery has improved the quality of his life. He has been in so much pain and discomfort for so long.
Yea, and Ozzy snorted a line of ants by poolside. Motley Crue is awesome!
Me too.. I hope Mick is feeling better and healthy.
Vince looks like he had lip replacement surgery.
...for the about 3-5 years he'll still be outnabout, not in an old peoples home.
Mick is an awesome guy. Hung out with him and sat at his table after a show one night. Very cool guy.
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.
Real Crue fans know Mars can shred. Great, great guitar player
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.
Synergy.
RUSH!
Idc what anyone says...i watched The Dirt on netflix Motley Crue biopic I have a new found love for Motley Crue.
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
Motley will live forever in all true Crueheads, Thank you for 33 awesome years guys
Been a fan for 35 years. It's been a wild ride.
Tommy Lee still interviews like he’s a High School student.
He still acts like a high school student too lol.
Well they are talking about their past, their legacy and tommy was still a teenager when motley crue was formed
He had only just graduated High School when this was made hadn't he?
That reality show?
@@JETJOOBOY lol yes
@Tararyze 11 you said it !!! i thought about it ha ha ha ....
80s was the best era of music period. Ozzy, Crue, Prince, MJ. Sade. NWA, what ever genre. Good Times
Nope. If you think that, you're not looking hard enough for new shit.
@@Dead_ham name me one current artist today, that you can put in the same conversation as Prince? Katy Perry, Mily Cyrus? Bruno Mars? Moron 5? LMAO
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.
@@acousticmario6109 I will check um out thanks. Check out my buddy Augmented-Witching hour.
Mick is a very wise, humble guy.
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!
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.
To bad he a long with the rest are doing Mick dirty he a disgusting tripe as far as I'm concerned.
Those boys are lucky they had Mick Mars, he is the back bone of the band.
Sixx was truly the backbone, he's the one who really put the band together and wrote most songs but I think Mick was the heart.
P.M. that’s a bit too far
@@OhLanie6 is a spoiled brat
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
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!!!
Couldn't agree more! Motley crue rock ;)
Couldn't agree more! Motley crue rock ;)
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.
Some of their material guitar wise is heavy and satisfying to a fan from the 80s. Like you said they deserve the love esp. Mick Mars.
the 80's was the best wouldn't trade that decade for nothing
Yep - you know it was a wild decade when drew Barrymore went in to rehab in ‘88. She was 13 years old
@@monkeyspoon8255 Yeah, wow. Entering rehab is so rockin. Grow up,
Mars-the guitar player is so UNDERRATED! Good ass guitar player
He's OK for the music he plays but when he compared himself to BB King and Clapton I about spit my drink out laughing
Neg Ative he did compare him self to them he was talking how good they were watch again
+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.
Jay Bing I am 100 years old and I listen to motley crue.
+Grimeyhoob I died in the 70s who are motley crue
I voted everyday for 14 weeks
1-800-MTV-VOTE
Home Sweet Home
balick1 I miss MTV SO MUCH!!!
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.
ah good old.mtv they are such shit now
I remember going to a high school dance in 1984 we all freaked out when "Shout At The Devil" came on! Great memory...I'll never forget!
Home Sweet Home was THE make out song.
I wish i was a high shooler in that time…
Haha! Class of 84 here. Where the hell did the time go???
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.
Seen my share of concerts at blossom. Gotta love the crue.
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
Still loving Motley Crüe! Nikki, Mick, Vince and Tommy - forever in my youth!❤️
I was so impressed about the lives of all the members of Motley Crue, their different personalities and how they integrated so well as family!
@Brandon S The book is way better than the movie with all those cheesy actors.
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.
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 love all the positive comments Mars is getting in this comment section 🤘
I love Mick's personality:-)
Azrael Astrum yea like watching paint dry
Azrael Astrum me too
Yeah...he plays guitar like a cave man playing with a bic-lighter
What personality?
Azrael Astrum Could you imagine what a kick-ass Dad and better yet, Mick as a Grandparent... would be Awesome!!
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!!
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.
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.
My favorite band since 1983. Got to see them 12 times in concert....gonna miss them.
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.
Didn't Mick come up with the band's name too
Yes, Mick had the name and had been waiting for the right band to use it with.
There's still that inner child in me that's singing, "SHOUT...SHOUT...SHOUT!!!!"
You better calm down bitch
@@kerronthedon9306 why are you being a asshole? Huh, got nothing to do because you aren't a decent human being.
kerron the don haha
Mick Mars is the coolest member by far.He ROCKS!
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!!
Such a good book, if you're a die hard Mötley Crüe fan read it.
nikki's book is awesome.
Mick was the brains not nikki
@@robjobmann1654 Mick is an amazing guitarist but Motley Crue is Nikki's vision and he wrote the majority of their songs.
Thank you, I loved, Mötley Crüe will always be present in me, a very particular sound, unique in the rock and roll scene.
Crue was and is still one of the most awesome bands ever! Surprised they are still alive to tell about it. ROCK ON MOTLEY!
I'm 14 and I love this band! I've seen them live! Great show
Rock on!!!
I skipped my first day of 5th grade to see them :)
Im now a sophmore:) didnt get to go to the farewell tour tho:(
im also a sophomore, i saw them a year ago or so, best night of my life!
i got Vince Neils guitar pick!! it is autographed!
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.

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
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.
I was I introduced 2 Crue n 1985 by my brother. NlAw.i. Was. Hooked I'm 56. A. I love hea by metal
“Some of these guys look like chicks” *Cut to Vince*
Not anymore lol
Only cause he was gorgeous 😌
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.
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!
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!!
I love Mick!
It's so good to finally have an interview where he TALKS :D
"You're all I need" My favorite Mötley Crüe song!
"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
Dave mustaine did it with Loved to Deth
Ten Seconds To Love
mines Nona
Video was killer! I watched that VHS over and over and over.
It's such a shame to see Mick Mars in the shape he's in here after looking at him from the 80s. He's always been my favorite member.
+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.
+DildosForChristmas Getting old ain't for the weak.
***** I think it's pretty obvious I'm talking about his illness and not his age. Even for 64 he doesn't look great
Motley Crue is no doubt one of the greatest rock bands ever... thanks for the great music guys.
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
I find it kind of weird to think about that most people think (including myself) that Mick Mars was the most unnapreciated or forgotten member of the biggest hair metal band ever during a generation that was all about guitar solos!
What am I going to do. I do not know how to live without you Nikki Siix. Frank!
Shout at the devil was the first album I ever bought. Changed my life. Love you guys. So glad I grew up when I did.
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.
shout at the devil is one of the greatest albums off all time!!!
"I Don't wanna say it was a mess............but it was a mess" 😂😂
also, 25:57 Mick sounded really soft there 😩👌
I started listening to crue when i was 9yrs old. My favorire song is shout at the devil i love that album.
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!
Mötley Crüe all they way. I wished I lived during the 80s. 🤘🏻😝
I was the young parent playing this as my kids grew up. Im a year younger than Nikki still love Crue. Gotta get my Sixx fix
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 🤘🏼
Jealous!!!!!
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.
The Crue, like many other rock bands in history have had their good, bad, great and sad moments. No matter what, I can personally say, they are a GREAT bunch of guys. I met the band in Chicago in the late 90s (I won't say where for privacy of the band). Tommy wasn't there, having gotten himself busted for something that had to do with his wife/girlfriend at the time..The guys walked in with their attorney/body guard following them. (He was wearing a suit) They all looked pretty normal to me with the exception of Vince who at the time, had blond and green hair. I knew OF the band but looking like normal fellows I didn't recognize them and jokingly said to Vince, "Whats with the green hair, Sporto? If you're trying to do the "incognito" thing, you might want to try red." (I have red hair n was just joshing around not knowing who these guys were). Vince started laughing and asked if I knew who they were. I said, "Let me guess...big rock stars and you n your green hair are hiding from the crowds of screaming stalkers n freaky people!" (More laughter) he answered, "Rock stars, yes, hiding from fans -never, we love all our fans. Without them, we wouldn't be rock stars!" (They joked around with each other saying, "You wish you were a rock star" blah blah n turning to Vince, I said, "Well damn glad to meet ya, Rock Star!" We talked n joked a little more , and they left. During the silliness, I forgot to ask who they really were.. Strange enough, Two days later, I seen Vince and his green highlighted hair on VH1 doing a short interview. It was MOTLEY CRUE! Truly, nice, normal (off stage) guys all of them. ROCK ON GUYS! YOU'RE A GREAT PART OF ROCK-N-ROLL HISTORY!
my favourite is vince
that will never change..
but mick is awesoommmeme
Hahahahaha My fiance and I have Vince and Nikki battles. I'm a Nikki girl through and through. I get it!
Same dude
Vince is the man. His sex Appel sure helped the band a lot when he was young. Total eye candy!!
Nikki Sixx sounds like he is the brains behind the band , really artistic guy with a solid understanding of the music business
Motley Crew🤝💞has been singing in 80's homes🕊these GUYS ARE BEST IN 🌎THANK YOU MC🤝2022 STILL ROCK-ON💞GREAT BIO🕊🌎💞
ive been a crue fan since early eighties iwas just a teenager. still love their music! in my opinion no one has come close to this sound !!!
Why does Tommy Lee only have eyeliner on one eye?
Probably a nod to "A Clockwork Orange"
+Sinister Shred Hard to tell, at least a bit thicker, but the lighting is also playing shadow games.
Because he is tommy lee
not every guy can get away with wearing eyeliner, Tommy can it actually suits him
Sinister Shred yes the liner makes him look older
My favorite album is the first one! It’s a classic!
Amy V ABSOLUTELY!!!!
I believe the band gives Mic Mars a lot of credit. Speaking from the conversations. These guys are family. Nikki organized a surprise party for Mic to show him that he loved him so much, he had a portrait tattooed on his leg. Really Mic doesn't give a damn about being a rated guitarist. He lived a dream and an awesome life.
Its mick...second he does want the credit...he says so himself in the cruefest outtakes..and just because the band loves him doesnt mean he gets the credit from anyone else
Great interview. I have never seen this one before. Motley Crue has some great songs, and they were all written by Mick Mars. From "Too young to fall in love" to "She's Got the Looks that Kill" to "Shout at the Devil" to "Nona" to "Girls Girls Girls" to "Kick Start My Heart" etc... All of the hits were written by Mr. Mick Mars. Thank you Mick for all the great music.
No actually most were written by Nikki, for example, " Nona" is about Nikki's grandmother and how sad he was that he was too fucked up to go to her funeral...I love Mick but Nikki wrote most of the songs, I guess you could say Mick provided the backbone!🎸
Great lil doc/interview session! Love how ALL four members feature nicely👍🤘🏻
Interesting that they completely ignored their self titled album with Corabi. I know it is still probably a sore subject with Vince but it's part of the bands history. Having been a diehard fan since 1983, I refused to give the album a chance in 1994 because to me Motley Crüe could only be "my buddies Sixx, Mick, (Vince) and Tom". I said at the time they should have called the band something other than Motley Crüe. I boycotted the band and the album. With time though, I was able to listen to that album with an unbiased ear and what a great album it is. Hooligan's Holiday is just a stellar track and to this day one of my favorite Crue songs.
(Nikki):'we all had so much money,we could not spend it....!!!!!!!!)I believe,today in 2015,they're over 100 million albums sold,not counting tickets fairs for the latest tours.........+shirts,hats,etc......
Mick Mars is the man!
Motley Crue is highly under rated.
Their music is music.
Excellent sound, vocals, coordination.
Every Album is amazing..
God bless you guys😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏💕
I just saw Motley Crue on August 16th in Indianapolis and they kicked ass !! And obviously Def Leppard and Joan Jett and poison they were awesome but I was there to see my liquor I've been a fan of there since 1982 and I finally got to see them !!
one of the best bands ever
Bullshit
