Just think...if he had injured his hand playing guitar, he would have become the famous laundromat attendant, Dr Foldgood. Damn, what could have been...
my take....Nikki was the driving force of the band....and a decent ( for what they did) song writer....Mick had ...and trust me I love Eddie...Randy...Warren....George...Zack....all the great riff guy's...But you have to hand it to Mick he came up with some Killer Killer riff's for the band...c'mon Live Wire.....Dr. Feelgood....Wild Side...Primal Scream...etc etc..... so I say Mick was very very crucial to the band's success....Tommy was a phenomenal drummer....and really you can't discount Vince either....they all just worked great together....much much better as a band than individual parts for sure.....
Mick when asked about Him auditioning for Nikki, & Tommy ..."I wasn't auditioning for them little they know I was auditioning them"... The birth of M.C ....🤘
I know it's cliche in these types if vids, but this dude is seriously underrated when it comes to guitar playing, songwriting and his part in making this band's success.
He was ABSOLUTELY the guiding force & hit maker. He was older. He had road gig experience & he was HUNGRY. The cream always rises to the top. Mick Mars is God.
Absolutely. He shaped their music. They would have been NOTHING without Mick. He never gets credit for how great a player he is. So, he's not Yngwie. But you know what? I've seen Yngwie live and countless shredders. They get boring, real fast. Mick doesn't. He's a very seasoned player with a great bluesy edge, and he kicks ass. He plays with real authority, knows how to write catchy riffs, construct a song, and write tasty solos.
@@TruthTime-bs9ni Damn right, and thank you for standing up for the God Mars. He's criminally underappreciated. Yes, Mick was older, and brought some real class and style to the Crue. I know how brutal the music biz is. I was involved in it playing in the L.A. scene in the mid 80s to early 90s when it faded away. I saw a lot of people starve. I was lucky because I'm from L.A. and had a support network of friends and family. Mick didn't. He came here back in the 70s and lived in dire poverty, playing in band after band. He had a strong rep back then as a solid player. But when he joined up with Crue and put that energy into making that band into something the magic happened. Combined with Nikki's songwriting prowess, Tommy's amazing drumming, a Vince's ability as a front man, things happened. It's a miracle, but it was meant to be. When I saw Crue live Mick is who I went to see most of all. I just loved his playing. It was refreshing to hear a player who was so good at slide which was a rarity in the 80s. He was very much from the Billy Gibbons school.
@@angusorvid8840 criminally underrated? Sure he's a good guitarist no question, but Nikki was writing the bulk of the music. If anything, I think Nikki is underrated as one of the greatest rock songwriters during that period tbh
According to their bio, Mick and Nikki disagreed musically (at their first meeting at the liquor store) because Mick was into stuff like Paul Butterfield and Nikki liked KISS.
Never been one for the drama and spotlight, like his bandmates. Has always stood silently in the background... The true backbone of Mötley Crüe. Here's to ya Mick! 🍻
So he even came up with the name. It’s funny how the quietest, most low key member made that band what it was. Nikki Tommy and Vince had charisma and personality, but talent wise, it was all mick. It worked out well for them though.
@Matt Beeman IMO, hard rock is almost entirely about the guitar sound and style. Every ingredient counts but you can sell A LOT of hard rock music with no more than just a decent drummer (Tommy Lee was exceptionally good) and a decent singer if the guitarist is extraordinarily good.
As you can see in one of the video's of Mick playing with White Horse, the drummer/drums were going upside down. Something Mick probably suggested to Tommy. Hence, Mick brought in another key element to Motley Crue: the cool drum coasters.
I always liked Mick's playing especially on the first two Motley albums. A guy like him was actually refreshing, just a good, solid player with a knack for writing solid, catchy riffs and without any of the pretentious "virtuoso" nonsense that was everywhere in the 80's metal era.
Yeah. It’s always those little twists and chance encounters. I guess a lot of life is like that. Maybe we call it chance but it’s not. We just don’t know.
@@mikenogozones yeah. but i also read the book way before the movie came out. also im 38 and my brothers are in there mid 40s. they listened to a lot of metal (still do) when we were kids so naturally i already was a crue fan at like 7 years old lol
First cassette tape I ever owned was Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil! I remember playing that on a Panasonic Tape recorder that I’d stuff with batteries and keep under my pillow at night! That and Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry were my introduction to Heavy Metal! Still a fan today!
unknown unknown Never owned a Wasp tape...Not that I didn’t like them...I just never got around to buying their albums. My first Ozzy was Black Sabbath Masters of Reality and Ozzy Osborne’s Speak of the devil,both on vinyl! Played the daylights out of those albums! Favorite Ozzy album to date ...God that’s impossible...It bounces between No rest for the wicked and Diary of a madman!
Yep... I had my Shout at the Devil cassette blasting out of the old Toshiba boom box when I was 13. My first "metal" album as well. It was soon joined by Def Leppard/Pyromania, Ratt/Out of the Cellar, and Quiet Riot/Metal Health.
He was a deadbeat dad. It ain't the woman's fault, no one made him dump his load in her. No one knew what his future held, and she had every right to get him to pay his fair share.
I have the same problem, ankylosing spondylitis. Your body produces excessive calcium fusing bones, usually the spine and hips first and then working its way out. It's pretty painful and there isn't any cure just the hope it can pause it or slow it down.
My favorite record will always be GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS. That record is responsible for turning me into a rocker when I was a little cholo punk back in the barrio. Listened to it once and never looked back! 🤘🏽
Me too. Same with Kiss. I don't really get into the bands records but I think Ace Frehley is a fantastic lead guitar player. I always liked MM and thought he was the real talent in Motley Crue
Went to see the crue in Detroit (doctor feel-good tour) went around back to where the bus was parked to hopefully catch the guys coming out, waited for about 45 minutes and decided it wasn't going to happen. Turned around and started walking to the car along the side of the building heads down in disappointment, a double for opened up and out walked Mick Mars! One the guys we were with idolized him and literally ran into Mick! Dumbfounded, Mick asked HIM if he was alright! Wasn't an ass about getting ran into and didn't act like he was inconvenienced at all. Shook all our hands and got in the limo and took off. Genuinely nice guy.
You could make it a little more clear that "Frank" from the liquor store was Nikki Sixx, not everyone knows those kind of details. Or remembers them. I've read The Dirt, but I don't remember their birth names. I figured Frank was Nikki, but I still had to check Wikipedia to make sure.

As a bassist I can tell you that playing bass in a Beatles cover band would not be an easy gig. McCartney is a very creative bassist and his playing on Beatles records is freaking outstanding and more complex than it seems. It's not particularly easy to play the bass parts on those records
Yeah but bass sucks. Who really watches the bass player ? Yep you said right ... No one . They all focus on the guitarist or singer and then drummer but the bass player? Nope just an ornament on stage looking the part.
One of his bands is left out of this story. I used to know this entire family. My dad was a pastor in Orange County, Ca. and Frank Deal was his associate pastor. Bobby used to play guitar at the church for a little while until overly conservative members decided the guitar was the devil's instrument and made him stop. Frank and Tina were wonderful people. She used to have a copy of every gold and platinum album Motley Crue ever got hanging on her living room wall. There was a time when our families were virtually inseparable.

Need to correct something. Harry the Whitehorse bass player coined the name Mottley Croo by looking at us low lifes at the first Whitehorse rehearsal in Ocean Beach California in 1972ish. Mick was not in the band yet. We gigged for about a month with no name as I insisted we not be called Joint Session which was the name of the band 3 of the 4 of us were in prior. I did not want to tarnish that name and planed to use it again some day. Until we settled on the name Whitehorse we sarcastically used anything from The Fat City Band to Mottley Croo to Led Zeppelin to call our selves screwing around on stage at hells angel gigs. . Then when Mick moved in with me and we spend hours and hours together on the road, I told him the story of the name that he repeats on my couch in 84 in that other video. They do not like to mention Mick helped me build the world's first flying drum machine. Tommy understandably denies that. But I invented and performed that when Tommy was just 10 years old. But here is the real story about that from my audio book. Motley Rock Stories. Cheers. Still MICK RULES!!! ua-cam.com/video/ggHQ79kNDv8/v-deo.html
My first concert was ZZ Top- Tejas tour. Point Blank opened for them. I was 14 and was in front of the left stage speaker on the barricade. Went by myself. Point Blank--> ua-cam.com/video/P4qTdJNYTlw/v-deo.html
I must be old my first concert was REO SPEEDWAGON and SURVIVOR but saw MOTLEY CRUE There Dr feelgood tour it was fucking awesome there still my number 1 band.
IN the early 80s right about the time Motley was taking off or being formed, I was pretty young as I was born in 1970, Mick was MARRIED to my best friends step sister. I remember him telling me thet they went to Disneyland but Mick wouldnt go due to how he dressed and didnt want to deal with people, I remember his stepdad paying for the phone bill they racked up on his daughters bill. I cant remember her name damn it...... Im not sure exact dates, but I read some web page that discussed mick and girlfrends and hanging at a beach.... it was definitely her at that time. They split up as Motley started taking off. Im pretty sure she was in a band also. I wish my memory were better.
The title should have said: Mick when he was still human (not mummy)... Just kidding!!, Mick is a fantastic guitarist, he could take any Rock band to the success!!.. I loves his work with Corabi in 1994.
he mic 4 2021 motley should create a white horse cd I'd love 2 have dose songs on cd u sounded great in sleez queen told da idea in a comment 2 vince and tommy in comments what do u think
Motley crue was awesome first two albums. After that I was introduced to the big 4 and I do listen to those first two albums once and again. But these guys really never had anything of value to say...just music for fun.
Every time I hear stories like this I think about the millions of rockers who made the same sacrifices yet came up empty handed, ended up washed-up and homeless. L.A. never was the city of dreams, more like the city of broken dreams.
When I go to a MC concert my 👀 go to Mick. I watch him the hole time playing his guitar 🎸. Than I glance at Nikki and Vince, Tommy in the back on the drums 🥁.
I knew Les (Mick Mars son) way back in elementary school! We were in the 5th grade together at Van Buren Elementary school in Riverside, California. He looked just like his dad too! He was so cool, very quiet and mellow. Loved music…he would bring pictures and signed album covers to class, telling us about his Dad’s band, Motley Crue. Geez…we’re talking around 1981 / 1982. How cool to discover this video!! What a trip!!
Just think...if he had injured his hand playing guitar, he would have become the famous laundromat attendant, Dr Foldgood. Damn, what could have been...
He's gonna press your pants real fine
DUDE! You win the internet for this comment!🤣😎🎸
Lmfao🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha, Dr. Foldgood!!!!
He's gonna press your creases nice and tight
Without a doubt the coolest and most talented guy in Motley Crue. ( also the only one that didn't look like a chick in his makeup)
again so true!
Mick Mars is Motley Cru. Some of the best iconic riffs on guitar, and so bad ass, he doesn't require another guitarist on stage.
and a scumbag who didn't support his kids.
my take....Nikki was the driving force of the band....and a decent ( for what they did) song writer....Mick had ...and
trust me I love Eddie...Randy...Warren....George...Zack....all the great riff guy's...But you have to hand it to Mick
he came up with some Killer Killer riff's for the band...c'mon Live Wire.....Dr. Feelgood....Wild Side...Primal Scream...etc etc.....
so I say Mick was very very crucial to the band's success....Tommy was a phenomenal drummer....and really you
can't discount Vince either....they all just worked great together....much much better as a band than individual parts
for sure.....
tonto rocks - Agree, Tommy can definitely play

Until we settled on the name Whitehorse we sarcastically used anything from The Fat City Band to Mottley Croo to Led Zeppelin to call our selves screwing around on stage at hells angel gigs. . Then when Mick moved in with me and we spend hours and hours together on the road, I told him the story of the name that he repeats on my couch in 84 in that other video. They do not like to mention Mick helped me build the world's first flying drum machine. Tommy understandably denies that. But I invented and performed that when Tommy was just 10 years old. But here is the real story about that from my audio book. Motley Rock Stories. Cheers. Still MICK RULES!!! ua-cam.com/video/ggHQ79kNDv8/v-deo.html
Nice man!!..thank you brother
✌💛🤘
My first concert was during the Theater of pain tour in '85. Yeah, i'm old.
My first concert was ZZ Top- Tejas tour. Point Blank opened for them. I was 14 and was in front of the left stage speaker on the barricade. Went by myself.

Lol, mine too.
My first concert was Paul Revere and the Raiders lol
Yer not so old
My first concert was KISS on the Creatures of the Night tour, but I did see Motley Crue on the Theatre of Pain tour as well. Y&T opened. Great show.
I must be old my first concert was REO SPEEDWAGON and SURVIVOR but saw MOTLEY CRUE There Dr feelgood tour it was fucking awesome there still my number 1 band.
Mick is my favorite member of Motley Crue. Very unique in his own way. He was born in the same city as myself, down to earth people
And the most mature
Pedos!
Outstanding
I thought i heard he was from Terre Haute
IN the early 80s right about the time Motley was taking off or being formed, I was pretty young as I was born in 1970, Mick was MARRIED to my best friends step sister. I remember him telling me thet they went to Disneyland but Mick wouldnt go due to how he dressed and didnt want to deal with people, I remember his stepdad paying for the phone bill they racked up on his daughters bill. I cant remember her name damn it...... Im not sure exact dates, but I read some web page that discussed mick and girlfrends and hanging at a beach.... it was definitely her at that time. They split up as Motley started taking off. Im pretty sure she was in a band also. I wish my memory were better.
Mick had a Texas mustache at 14. I know full grown men who can’t grow a 14 year old Mick Mars mustache
The title should have said: Mick when he was still human (not mummy)... Just kidding!!, Mick is a fantastic guitarist, he could take any Rock band to the success!!.. I loves his work with Corabi in 1994.
I'm more interested in how he has dealt with his ankolosing spondylitis
@R. T. I have it as well. I took Humira for a few months till my liver started failing from it.
I hope you guys live life to the fullest with as little pain as possible. Good luck to you both.
@R. T. I took remicade IV and ended up getting an immune disease. Lupus.
@@bigboycombo6342 I took remicade IV ended up getting lupus. Now I just take edotolac
@R. T. yeah that's rough. I lost my grandfather to mesothelioma, my dad to small cell carcinoma, basically everyone in my family died of cancer
Am the only one that read this in the voice of the narrator to VH1's Behind the Music?
At first Mick wanted this Les Paul Deal but backed out later on
Nice! I wonder if he ever revisited that Les Paul deal after backing out?
And unbelievably...STILL the most hideous guy in rock. Undefeated champ of ugly!
Thought their name was Motley Crud..... Mick's hand writing
Would've been nice to see Mick's face on the last f..king slide! All them f..king ads for other videos in the f..king way.
By far the best musician in that band
Some will justifiably say Mick was the only true mysucjan when the band recorded their first album.
Mick the king
Mick is so underrated
Maybe so, but it’s never better to be over-rated!
Hate it for his kids
Going to jail for child support...what an evil woman.
Mick... Told The Guitar Player He Couldn't Play For Shit! and That He Had To Go! ✅ Mick Was a Bad Ass! 💥 🎸💥
he mic 4 2021 motley should create a white horse cd I'd love 2 have dose songs on cd u sounded great in sleez queen told da idea in a comment 2 vince and tommy in comments what do u think
love white horses song it's only money another song moteley crue could bring 2 dad new year
Before he was in crew he was a freakin goofball looking dude. Big time
Crazy that they named a guitar after micks son
Lol. Yeah right? Since he and Sharon split, I wonder if he had any relationship with his kids?
someone in his family owned the deal and robbins" funeral home, I just figured that's why he was so goth " looking. ☠🎶✌🖤
Mick je nedoceneným gitaristom, ovšem pre Mötley Crue bol nepostrádateľný.
Kid named les paul , yup that's a very mick mars thing to do
Motley crue was awesome first two albums. After that I was introduced to the big 4 and I do listen to those first two albums once and again. But these guys really never had anything of value to say...just music for fun.
Every time I hear stories like this I think about the millions of rockers who made the same sacrifices yet came up empty handed, ended up washed-up and homeless.
L.A. never was the city of dreams, more like the city of broken dreams.
When I go to a MC concert my 👀 go to Mick. I watch him the hole time playing his guitar 🎸. Than I glance at Nikki and Vince, Tommy in the back on the drums 🥁.
Only one I can stand...coolest member for sure
Never wrote a bad solo. EVER! Underrated is an understatement.
Anyone else think the thumbnail was Duane Allman?
Mick Mars before MC...Rode a horse to work..
I have always had so much love and respect for Mick Mars! Without him there would be no Motley Crue!
I love Mötley Crüe! The best glam metal band ever!
Well the main thing we learned was that Mick was a dead beat dad.
Bad backbone et al., Mars the backbone to Crue & Top 10 GOAT rock guitarist!
That mustache he had as a teenager was glorious
nice drum kit on the rotator pre tommy lee
Holy crap. He looked a lot like Duane Allman when he was younger!
do vince!!
Rockin Mars🎸🇺🇸🤠💚
and the kids grew up and had a great college education. they became doctors lawyers and indian chiefs.
The punchline to a joke I can't remember.
Wow didn't support his kids what a dad
An other drug addicted rich guy
Mick was born Nov 5, 1955, the same night of the great hill valley electrical storm, great scott!
😆
No he wasn't. He said he was born in 1951.
MICK Mars was born May the 4. 1951
Best comment ever...hahahaa
Best comment here.
I love the background music. What is it?
So, you read The Dirt, too!
Cool book and movie
Had to be weird growing up in the hippy era and then making it in the glam rock scene...
Hopefully their tour with poison, Def Leppard, and Joan Jett can finally get started one of these days
If they would drop poison and JJ yuck!
Are they doing their 9th or 10th farewell tour?
Vince Neil is fat and his voice has gone to shit. I'm not too optimistic about their upcoming tour, that's if this Corona virus subsides.
That is not how they got the name.
Them kids need their daddy
MOTLEY! FUCKEN! CRUE!!!!
Damn Mick was and still is as handsome as ever
🤣🤣🤣
Is he related to Kim?
Hell yeah.. MOTLËY fuck’n CRÜE!!
🤘🏽😝
The guy stuck to his guns and never sold out. One of my favorite guitarists!
I knew Les (Mick Mars son) way back in elementary school! We were in the 5th grade together at Van Buren Elementary school in Riverside, California. He looked just like his dad too! He was so cool, very quiet and mellow. Loved music…he would bring pictures and signed album covers to class, telling us about his Dad’s band, Motley Crue. Geez…we’re talking around 1981 / 1982. How cool to discover this video!! What a trip!!
Hard work and dedication, got to love mick mars
