Try to play like this, and battle ankylosing spondylitis at the same time for decades when you’re in so much pain, and still have the balls to play a kickass solo. That’s why Mick Mars is a legend and always will be
He was in the same band for 35 years with a very degenerative disease... and played great... he has more talent on his worst day then you could muster in a lifetime... you couldn't do that sober and with some adderall... he did it drunk of his ass and in some pretty significant pain.... douch....
@@UroboricNate Mick has wrote a dozen or more of the greatest rock n roll riffs. Somehing like girls girls girls is as recognizable as smoke on the water
i always come back to this video. sometimes its fun to make noise. mick mars had the IT factor. no hes not a shredder but he has great tone, tons of attitude and balls to his playing.
Fuck "cleanliness" and perfect technique and all of that jive. This is rock and roll and it's about "bringing it" by which I mean attitude and style. It's theatrics. Rock music is not about playing scales perfectly faster than anybody else, it's about playing like yourself and putting it out there.
One the most underated Guitars Player. Mick Mars some of the fastest fingers around. To hear him play live he plays with such heart and soul. Long Live Mick Mars.
I always thought that Mick was the most attractive member of Motley Crue his beautiful big dark eyes and his shining black hair he also was the quiet one of the band but you could tell he was a deep thinker from what I have seen of the movie it doesn’t portray his character accurately at all he wasn’t as bitingly sarcastic as his movie counterpart his comments were always accompanied by a smile I do know him and admire him too😊xx
Mick’s friend in the band is Nikki Sixx they have been through trauma with their wives Nikki’s wife lost her mind because of Motley Crue and Mick knew it he is very susceptible to feeling other people’s emotions and breaking hearts no one knows like Nikki Sixx what heart ache is he knew Mick was supposed to go through the same thing with him but Mick wouldn’t let go of his woman like Nikki Sixx did he was hurt just once by her but had a forgiving nature he didn’t know it at the time but his loving heart won him a friend for life and beyond - Garff
Eh, it's Mick. Take it in context. No, he wasn't an accurate or articulate shredder. Yes, a lot of this is slop and noise, but Mick still kicked ass in many ways. Dude wrote some great riffs, the solos he put in Crue songs worked and his live guitar tone, in person, sounded like a freight train barrelling down the tracks. It was always fat and full. No, he wasn't a clean picker, but he made his mark and his style is recognizable. I still love the dude, even with a solo that sounds like a bunch of fretboard vomit like this one. I give him respect.
I agree with that perspective.. he made his mark in other ways.. just because he isn't fast or clean like Vai or Paul Gilbert doesn't matter.. his riffs and solos had a style and attitude..
@@TheMojaveCourier Mick Mars is one of my favorite players of all times, but I have no illusions about what he was or what he wasnt. That's why I said take him in context. He wasn't accurate like Vai or Gilbert, but he was raw and unique, and he did what he did well. You also have to consider that he was old by the time they were signed. My wife always jokes "He was 60 even back then." I admire him in many ways, but a shredder he wasn't, and that's perfectly okay. There's far more to being a good guitar player.
During the time of the bands many tours Mickey had a woman he was very attached to but she would not appear in public even when he was with Emie Canyn he still had his beautiful partner and that was why Emie divorced him.His secret love never revealed herself but Emie went on trying to gain fame as a singer in such bands as She Rock always trading on Micks name.Even now that Mick is so ill his girl behind the scenes keeps in touch with him and quite often goes to visit him in his Mountain Home with the family who all know him well.
Mick’s personal life is shrouded with mystery he didn’t join in the backstage fun and games because he had a woman with whom he had a wild time every night when on tour, he had to go to the strip clubs to be seen to be as a “bad boy” like the rest of the band and their upfront sexual carry on but he found his fun behind closed doors all night long, that is why he stayed out of the spotlight during interviews about the partying scene he wasn’t about to give anything away to the press or even the other band members
Everyone's on here talkin s*** LOL I don't care what you say Mick Mars is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Just remember while all your favorite guitars from the past are playing Fairgrounds and bars Mick Mars was selling out with Motley Crue at the largest venues in the world till the very last show js
The guy was the only guitar player in the band . Of course his solos are quick and short . Try filling everything in live by yourself . Mick was and still is awesome !!!
@My Opinion wheres you're videos ? Are you worth 40 million dollars ? Were you one of the most popular rockstars of your time ? While battling an incurable disease ? You're nothing kid. If you canr give respect where respect is due, then you're always going to be what you are now... nothing.
@My Opinion I can see you're even more useless then I first thought. Keep practicing kid, you may get a big break in your little life. Until then... fuck off.
Can't believe people are here talking shit about mars.even in his 60's the guy will out play most in music today and all the shit talkers sitting home watching videos of the guy.when you wrote something that will be played forever or do something half as good he has then maybe you can say something.until then just sit home and watch what you'll never be
Sorry dude much respect to Mick but the dude's got a horrible disease he cant out play anyone anymore. He gets the utmost respect from me though going out there night after night guys definitely in a lot of pain but still trying to bring a good show. Unfortunately his days are behind him. I'm also not trying to shit talk anyone he was definitely one of the more interesting guitarist to come out of that genre and time period.
Del seg 3.37 al 3.46 toca puro black metal...mejor guitarrista. Le daba a la guitarra un sonido nuevo y mega distorsionado..me gusta la guitarra rasposa de Mars
Mick’s wife is absolutely horrified at the rumours that Mick has been diagnosed as a schizophrenic he does have a problem with his mood swings but this is caused by brain swelling and damage due to lesions in his brain which is all part and parcel of the disease he has- ankylosing spondylitis
The black reflective guitar 🎸 was a gift to Mick from his wife it said”GIRLs” it was their secret he always said she was “my girl”😊❤xxxx his wife’s name was Diane says she fell in love with his big dark eyes 🥰 he dotes on her it breaks Diane’s heart ♥️ to hear him say he hasn’t got much time left to go it was his illness that tore them apart Diane has remarried but she and her husband are Mick’s good friends,Mick’s the godfather of Diane’s grandson from a previous marriage.
And for everyone saying that mick mars is over rated , just remember hes been battling ankylosing spondilitis . it got so bad that mick had to relearn how to play the guitar again. Now go ahead and tell me hes not thw best guitarist ever.
Syrian Sultan look man I am a huge fan of Mick and the Crue and I play guitar myself. I agree that he is VERY good and is one of my favorites but I wouldn’t go as far to say he’s “the best guitarist ever.”
parte de ese solo esta tomado de la batala final de la pelicula crossroad , compuesto por steve vai , en realidad mars me recuerda mucho a steve vai en general
I mean he is a good guitar player, but wtf is this😭on every album his guitar solos sound so clear and normal, this sounds like a bee and a 5 year old picking randomly on the guitar 😭😭😭
Man I would give anything to know what Nikki sixx said to Mick Mars at that moment. Mick Mars was every bit of motley Crue and without him motley Crue just completely sucks
Mick Mars is the best thing that ever happened to Motley Crue
Jim Jim and Tommy
@Holden M personally I really don’t think so. I respect your opinion though
Shit, he came up with the band’s name - so without him there would not be a Motley Crue
He is motley crue!
Well he literally named the band so yeah
Try to play like this, and battle ankylosing spondylitis at the same time for decades when you’re in so much pain, and still have the balls to play a kickass solo. That’s why Mick Mars is a legend and always will be
Amen brother!
Well somebody just watched Dirt
Cedric Kluge fucking epic film
same
No he is Not.
The guy played the perfect riffs and solos for their songs.
awesome guitar player....70 million records sold can back it up...
Ariana Grande has lots of records sold too, using record sales as an indicator of ones musicianship is pointless.
He was in the same band for 35 years with a very degenerative disease... and played great... he has more talent on his worst day then you could muster in a lifetime... you couldn't do that sober and with some adderall... he did it drunk of his ass and in some pretty significant pain.... douch....

@@UroboricNate uhh maybe because she actually has talent and can sing like the best of em😂
Mick is brutally underrated
so true

Funny seeing a lot of these millenials judging Mick Mars on his playing skill when to them "21 pilots are the greatest of our time" 😂😂😂
HAHAHA, yea, no shit brother!
Millennials thought the world started when they were born and then “ liked “all the wrong shit for decades.
oh shut up, i went to music school and dated a professional guitarist for five years.
Who? Who says this? I’ve literally never heard anyone say that about 21 pilots
Or because he just Sucks.
This man technically wins at life, in my opinion
Perfect example of changing with the times . My man played 70s music and dove right into hard thrash style took it to the top
not hard thrash at all but yeah he definitely adapted super well to the 80s
The very Sound and soul of Motley Crue! The Purple People eater..
No matter what this dude plays you can definitely tell it's him. Very identifiable style! 🎸

Loud rude and aggressive
We get it, you watched the movie
Love his Kramer telecaster :)
Hard to find...been looking for years
@@generalyovideos I know, and it's very expensive.
Waaaayyyyyy ahead of his time! Awesome player! And always will be! Keep kickin ass Mr. Mars.
My number one guitar influence of all time.
goood
Mine too, I started playing because of him, he’s a badass
I got my guitar today beacuse of him
Only reason why I picked up my guitar
hes the main reason I wanted a bc rich at 15 seeing those early motley videos on VH1 classica.
The best guitarist of all. Enjoy retirement Mick. Thanks for sharing. I miss this.
The solos in his songs are so memorable.
One the most underated Guitars Player. Mick Mars some of the fastest fingers around. To hear him play live he plays with such heart and soul. Long Live Mick Mars.
Nope "Quin"t says hes a fine player! ! hes a 1970s guitarist doin a fine job against super fast 80s players !
Happy 67th Birthday Mr. Mick Mars!! Keep shredding
Mick mars was the soul of Motley Crue

Literally a shredder of a solo the tone gets into your brain 😮
Look at Mick shreading that Kramer! He is an amazing guitar player and highly underated in my book.
Fuck you. Do you even play bro?? If so he would school you. Without a doubt. It's not about speed it's the mood and feel.
"Good" player! not bad at all! stands up to all the others of the time he was a 1970s player doing his best against shredders in the 80s!

Respect for mick bringing us awesome guitar licks for so long hurting like he does
If he was in ANY other major band besides Crüe, he’d get the credit he deserves as one of the baddest MFers of all time with an Axe.
He played a bit of Terror in Tinseltown
p s I noticed that.
Love it!!! Mick you are great!! Keep on riffing!!!
MICK IS THE SOUL OF MOTLEY CRUE🤘🏼🤘🏼🖤🖤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
all of us bring the 80s back

@2:29 the best guitar solo ever
Mick we need u...keep Rocking...
Hey mom, it´s me making noise on the guitar solo´s mode but it´s fair when it´s about Mick. Halleluyah¡
Most underrated guitarist of all time!
During the time of the bands many tours Mickey had a woman he was very attached to but she would not appear in public even when he was with Emie Canyn he still had his beautiful partner and that was why Emie divorced him.His secret love never revealed herself but Emie went on trying to gain fame as a singer in such bands as She Rock always trading on Micks name.Even now that Mick is so ill his girl behind the scenes keeps in touch with him and quite often goes to visit him in his Mountain Home with the family who all know him well.
Kick it Mick!!!!!! TEAM Mick!❤
Anyone else notice what would soon be T.N.T.(terror in tinseltown) mixed in Micks solo?
Yes I did, right away 😀🎸🎸
Mick’s personal life is shrouded with mystery he didn’t join in the backstage fun and games because he had a woman with whom he had a wild time every night when on tour, he had to go to the strip clubs to be seen to be as a “bad boy” like the rest of the band and their upfront sexual carry on but he found his fun behind closed doors all night long, that is why he stayed out of the spotlight during interviews about the partying scene he wasn’t about to give anything away to the press or even the other band members

A Brilliant Guitarist!
Mick is King, simply the best
Certainly not the cleanest playing and picking but he did write some of the greatest riffs and songs in hard rock history.
I love dirty playing when it’s good dirty and that’s him
Don’t think he was intending on playing clean
He's truly a guitar God
