I got the chance to meet Mick back in 99' when his vehicle was run off the road and went over a curb and damaged his wheel. Being a AAA tow operator you meet a lot of famous individuals. You couldn't miss Mick though, all dressed in black, top hat and long black hair :) I knew who he was, but played it off like I didn't until he got in the truck and we drove away from the scene, because I didn't want to scare him off, nor have someone come and pick him up for the ride. As we were heading to his home I told him"aren't a musician"? Your in MOTLEY CRUE right? Yep he said. I couldn't believe it! Here I am sitting in a truck with Mick Mars, a man who's pictures and posters covered my bedroom walls throughout my teens and I'm taking him home. He was so down to earth, very calm and friendly, no ego what so ever, and treated me like an old friend. I told him that I play guitar and he asked me what type of equipment I used, what bands I liked and if I follow CRUE at the time. I told him straight out that I hadn't bought a CRUE album since SOTD, and that they should get back to that sound and vibe that those first two albums had, and he totally agreed with me, saying he keeps telling the guys this, but at that point to no avail. When after hanging with him for about 30 minutes, he told me to wait for minute, and came out of his house with 2 cd's, greatest hits and M/C live and his signature. A truly great man, a truly great guitarist.

I was lucky enough to drive for Motley as a limo driver in Indianapolis a few times. All the guys were cool, but Mick was so nice. Just a regular guy, not pretentious or acted like he was better than anyone. Being a fellow Hoosier from Indiana it was really cool to get to talk with him, and normally I did not ask my clients for anything, but I asked Mick for his autograph and he wrote me a really cool special personalized note. Total class act, and a very nice man!

Very humble guy, doesn't come off as a typical "rock star" despite actually BEING one for going on FORTY YEARS. Played while suffering from excruciating pain all while dealing with the personalities of his fellow band members and just being a great highly underrated guitarist. Tireless work ethic combined with ambition and the results are 4 decades of kick-ass rock'n roll, thanks Mick!

Mick seems like a sincere, humble, kind and, at the same time, bad ass person and musician. He was perfect for the band because Motley Crue had enough egos with Nikki, Vince and Tommy. Mick was the perfect piece of the puzzle who was probably the one responsible for keeping it all together, otherwise they would have split up a long time ago.

I love that everybody loves Mick Mars.

Motley...one of my fave bands of all time and Mick one of my faves. I love their music, but that's as far as it goes. I don't know how "humble" or nice of a man he is. Several years ago, fliping through the tv channels one evening, one of the talk shows had on children of rock stars. I remember one was Alice Cooper's daughter and the other Mick's daughter froma previous marriage. She talked about how she struggled working as a waitress, had 3 kids(Micks grand kids obviously), had not heard from her father in years and also stated that he had never given her or the grand kids a dime. I don't think fathers of any type should have to dish out their money, but for such a successful man to be like that seems a bit mean.

David Carrafiello I would assume his daughter was telling some truth. Mick wouldn't be the first father, especially a rock n roller, who had horrible family situations. I will agree, based on not knowing all the facts, that it's possible some things she said were not true or exaggerated. I enjoy their music and have been since I was a teen in the 80s....the music and nothing more. Especially now that I am older, it's just the music and would not look at some of these people as being a hero or anything. Just my opinion. Rock on.

I worked at Tommys house back in 92. The band had parted ways with Vince and were recording with John Corabi. I brought him my Leathur records album cover, and asked him to sign it. He took it, brought it to the recording studio that night, and so Tommy, Mick, And Nicki all signed the back of it, positioning their signatures in a way that placed Vince upside down (so cool). Now for the best part. The next morning at the house, Tommy popped in a tape of the song they finished the night before.

I also met Rudy Sarzo that night who was playing with Whitesnake. Mick and Rudy were super cool and kind to a kid grinding their riffs in his bedroom. Mick reached into his pocket and gave me a handful of black picks with the comedy/tragedy faces from Theatre of Pain and his signature on the other side. I still have them. I've met countless great musicians over the years but those guys were among the first and were super cool.

When I REALLY think about what this man lives with AND performs with without complaining or whining I feel very humbled. I commend you Mick not only for that but for your genuine humility and straightforward nature. YOU are a TRUE hero! I met Motley backstage in 1981 (I was “Miss Reseda”-LOL) and Mick has always been a REAL DUDE! He’s truly THE most real and lovable guy in R&R! Thank you for your contribution to the soundtrack of my life.......❤️

I've delt with AS for the last 5 years and it is very painful,Mick is a badass for doing this for as long as he has with this debilitating disease,the loss of balance alone would put the average guy out and Mick has shown that it can be done,The man is a ture inspiration for many who think it can't be done,and he is one hell of a guitar player,he will go down as one of the best in Rock history...

WOW what can we say about a living legend??? I am 41 and have played guitar for over 30 years now. Mick may not be my reason for playing guitar. Ace Frehley, Randy Rhodes, and Eddie Van Halen are. But Motley Crue has been 1 of my favorite bands since as long as I can remember. My life has been Motley Crue. Mick is the most amazing, well rounded guitarist that I look up to the past few years. I even picked slide because of Mick. Mick is a one of a kind and I know the moment he plays it is him. I respect him as a musician and person. I have never been touched by a musician as I have been by Mick. He is a living legend. I first saw him in La Crosse WI, I have seen every tour since Girls Girls Girls, He walked by me with his wife and kids at the time while staying at the Holiday Inn on the Corobi tour,while I was working and I FREEKED... NONE of us got any work done that day... Mick is the greatest guitarist in my life. I would love to meet Mick and spend a day being real with my only life long living legend. Mick is the best. I will see the band in Madison, WI, on Nov. 12th...

I love this insider stuff. Good job Eddie. Just let the guest talk more please.

Mick was a riff machine. Its really too bad that all the drama took over Motley's legacy because it was great songs that made them famous in the first place.

Have so much respect for this incredible artist and person. He is so humble and pleasant. Given that he is in constant pain and still keeps going is beyond inspirational! Thank you Mick and the rest of the Crue for all the years of music you made.

I don't believe EVH would regard Mick as a terrible guitarist. And I've played guitar for thirty one years, but I have never experienced anything from Motley to indicate that Mick is, was, or ever will be, less than a kick-ass guitarist. For all you guitar player types, put all of Mick's Motley riffs next to all of EVH's riffs (yes, Ed will always be remembered best for the RIFFS, no argument), and you get plenty to chew on, either way. You put the riff to "Unchained" next to "Piece of Your Action", and both riffs set it up. Learn guitar, and you will FULLY understand. SelectCircle, you nailed it...WHAT A TROOPER!

I think he's probably the sole truly admirable person in Motley Crue. I'm not saying admirable in a "rockn'roll" lifestyle sense...I'm talking the exact opposite of that. I dunno who these people really are, I just know how they've presented themselves in the public eye, at least at their height of their success...and I'm not knocking them at all, I think that's part of what makes that kind of rock music fun....all of the crazy stories from the road and stripper/pornstar girlfriends and other madness....but Mick is the one guy that has stayed low key, probably the only humble dude in the band unless you count Corabi (and trust me, if I was them in the 80's, I'd have a hard time myself staying humble too!!!) and just a genuinely good cat....he's weird but thats probably why he's who he is.

Thank you for bringing up *Motley Crue - Motley Crue* 48:37 !! I saw the interview with Mick on That Metal Show and I was dreaming of being one of the audience members to ask Mick about that entire Corabi experience. Thrilled to hear 50:21 *Mick say, "I thought that album was fantastic"* Yes, it is! Mick goes on 51:35, "Now they get it... and sonically, and writing wise, and lyric wise, and everything else I thought it was. I still think it is". To anyone who did not care for this album back in 94+, for whatever reason, and haven't heard it in a long time -- I urge you to give it another chance. Be sure to check out "Hammered", "Til Death Do Us Part", and "Uncle Jack". "Hooligan's Holiday" was the singe, which is a fine tune, but not necessarily representative of how rockin the other tunes on the album are.

I really like his groove in his playing. They were tuning down long before most other bands were. He is not a classic lead player but his riffs are wicked

Favorite interview! ! Thanks!!:)

For all the haters “Fuck you”. No one can understand what Mick has been through with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Movement = Pain with this fucked up disease. It deforms your body, fuses your bones, bends you to its will and constantly tests your will to live. People say Mick is standoffish, not sociable, a loner. People can hurt you even when they don’t mean to. I will do almost anything not to sneeze. That simple natural action makes my body feel like I’m being hit by a truck. That Mick has accomplished what he has is a testament to his iron will. Please don’t judge but instead rejoice in the indomitable human spirit that this man exudes. Rock on Mick.

I'm not even a Mötely super fan, (I know/ like a handful of songs/ albums) but I just have this admiration for Mick Mars, I can't explain it. Maybe because I understand his Hoosier ideals/ values, maybe because he's just cool, a little of both? I just admire him, and agree he's under-rated!

Primal Scream is my favorite Motley Crue 🎶 song, I turn that song up loud every time, just love that song so much! I love ❤️ when Nikki plays that bass line live and Tommy kicks in with the drums and Mick starts to play and Vince starts singing, I just love this song live!🤟🥰

What an awesome musician and individual - great interview! 😎🎸😎

Very underrated guitar player.

I've listened to this all afternoon which was time well spent all the best mick

Awesome interview to date and pulls no punches...! Mick Mars "IS" and forever...., Motley F'n Crue!!!

With how much Nikki, Tommy, and Vince are out spoken and publicized, it was so awesome to get to hear so much from an amazing man and an even more amazing guitar player. Love you 1313

Bought a tape of Theater of Pain in 1987 when I was 11. It was the first piece of music I ever bought. That seems like a lifetime ago. I own hundreds of albums now, and I like Motley Crue, but they aren't my favorite band by far, but I love Mick, his playing and his story and his attitude and personality, but just the Nostalgia of knowing that was the first bit of music I ever bought will always stick with me, and my mom had a baby grand piano and I figured out to play Home Sweet Home about a week after I bought it. One question I would have for Mick if I were Trunk is: exactly how old are you, Mick? Because there are different birth years listed for him. Some of my favorite riffs of his are on songs: "Too Young To Fall In Love" and "Same Ole Situation" and "Wildside" and "Girls, Girls, Girls." He was a riffmaster alot like Tony Iommi I suppose.

Mars was always such a humble, relatable, about the music guy. 🤘😈🤘

I was listening to "Too Fast For Love" before "Shout At the Devil" came out. Loved it then, still my favorite Crue album to this day. They were the only band I was not allowed to see live when I was a kid. I've been to over 200 concerts but I never saw the Crue live....somewhat disappointing, however that did not stop me from being a huge fan. Mick has always been the coolest member of the band and looking back on it through the years I have come to the conclusion that he is the most talented. Tommy is a fantastic pure rock drummer but Mick is the "man" and has done the most to make the Crue stand out. I have a ton of respect for Mick....the other three guys, not so much.
