I love The Crüe as a whole, original solid members. But he always says he's doing it for the music and fans. It's not for the promotion, the chicks lifting their tops, the over-the-top luxury touring transportation. I doubt he even wanted as much spent and effort put into the stage and tricks. The Stadium Tour had a variety of bands, almost all from one era where they shined. But they all different stage setups. Check out Classless Heroes. Joan has money and fame, she could've had the over-the-top stage stuff. Def was a basic stage too. The eyes and mind can o my take in so much. Overcompensating? I hate to say it, but the Crüe stage was just 3 guys' wildest dreams. And that's great that they have the money and power to live that dream. But was that all necessary? Maybe if I was high or drink, (which I definitely am not), I would lose my mind at all there is to take in. I saw the Crüe when Tommy couldn't have alcohol in the arena. It was bare bones, great music, and the real fans loved it.

U have been the first to hit my heart in this comment section. I've been there since I was a kid too. I want them all so er, functioning, fulfilling life's best goals, family, etc, but it's coming at great cost. And it feels to us. We r paying ALOT more, stuck in a gigantic stadium with heat stroke or risk for shock during lightning storms. The pandemic was REALLY bad for the majority of people in the world. Paying $125 for a ticket, plus all the travel, etc, is, for some people, the highlight of their lives. There has always been some infighting, normal with close people. Except when it's a huge change, Vince leaving, Tommy leaving, Mick being me as r dead, and Nikki with his side projects, we r getting less fulfilled. I love them, from the standpoint of the great times. I'm choosing not to focus on what skeptics say, or what we hear. The Dirt was well done, except I didn't like the truly vile parts and the fluffing. I doubt most fans new that Mick had a very serious disease and was wasting away. To see him play these past few years makes tears well up. He's a remarkable human. People keep ragging on Vince's voice. It is rare that a raw singer can sound exactly like their album. Those stadiums have all kinds sof sound implications. I don't sound like I did 40 years ago, and I haven't lived a life like Vince. As a long time fan, the way this is playing out is just not cool. Someone isn't telling the truth, and I hate to say it, but I think it isn't Mick. And it shouldn't be about the other 17.5% income. There has to be someone that stands up for the fans and says play live. John 5 is one of the only buys, (that I've ever heard), play guitar that makes me want him to play all my fave songs. When Metallica played Sweet Home Alabama at a concert years ago, it was exhilarating! These r ur favorite musicians, so I pay to hear u play the songs u wrote, with a bit of the original, but some 2023 flavor. I like crowd work. I like laughing and fun between the guys.

Mick Mars, despite what his bandmates claim in their response to Mick's 4/6/23 legal complaint, can and did play live. Based on claims from Mick and others, Mick was the only member of Motley Crue on the stage in 2022 playing entirely live.

He sounds PHENOMENAL ! #teammick

I don't why this would have been released, unless this is to prove Mick's point. He sounds pretty good and you can hear just enough of Vince to hear him mangle the songs, like he has for ages.

This may be all that Mick has in his I.E.M. but it's not all that he is hearing on stage. He can still hear the live drums, vocals, etc. from the live amps and side fills they are still running. I used to only run my vocal and my guitar in my head. It gave me some isolation and clarity to what I was doing without ever competing volume-wise with anything else, but I could still hear the other things going on around me. And yes, the click becomes part of your experience but you stop noticing it.

They likely aren't using live amps on stage. Guitars are isoboxed or more likely in a processor like a Kemper. Bass is almost always DI'd (or in this case, prerecorded). Only thing he can likely hear on stage live are the drums, and the click is pretty much doing the same thing as Tommy, so no reason to hear them.

🤯 Now I love Mick even more. Great document.

No one can replace The great Mick Mars period! I got to see the Crue live in Michigan over 100.000 ppl. promoting Shout at the Devil tour with Ozzy, Ratt, Accept, Tramph n a few other bands. And again just b4 the pandemic! Rock on..!! 🤘🏽.

Mick has been the most down to Earth member of this band. I met all of them more than once. All gracious but Mick stood out because he wasn't about look at me and Vince would have to be next. Although Vince's vocal has declined I can't say a bad thing about him he was always great in person. Mick I met long enough to get a few things signed and tell him how much of an inspiration he was. He was a man of few words and you could tell he was uncomfortable pain wise. I had only two things I wanted signed a denim jacket and the Rolling Stone mag. After Mick finished he saud with surprise this is it? He boarded the plane to take a seat. Vince was also very gracious but again uncomfortable and all business. I met them all on an airport tarmac. When we walked out, well I actually drove out. This was impromptu it was private property and they could had easily had us tossed. This was immediately following their first presser for the Motley vs The Earth tour. Instead we watched them do a photo shoot next to the plane and patiently waited. Mick and Vince were the first to acknowledge us Nikki and Tommy spent the most time. It wasn't the time that mattered though it was the quality of time and Mick and Vince were the most real. Nikki and Tommy were engaging and conversated the longest but it felt like a bit fake. Mick deserves everything he's asking for imo. I'm surprised Vince is mum because he's been through this but I'm sure after the business is done Vince will let his POV known. From what I've heard Vince may have had a role in why Mick wanted out not because of conflict but because how he was treated and Mick was tired of it.

Mick Mars is great & playing 100% live! Sounds like Vince Neil is live too

The best seat in the house. You can't hear Vince at all.

I'm with Mick! Go get 'em!!

Man, Mick is so good.

Mars playing is spot on! Vince is fat voice cracked!

Mick is the unqualified backbone of crue.. he's the best at what he does... and to do all that and endure all the pain he goes thru each and every day with his back condition is just phenomenal ! Keep up the great work Mick ! Proud of you brother !

That. Is. Awesome. Mick is the real rockstar!!!

Mick Mars pure blues metal!!!! Raw!!! TEAM MICK!!!!

No words for me to express myself Mick is and will be a greate músician forever!!! 🤟

Love it. Vince, and a click track! True professional!

This is very interesting. As a frequent monitor mixer, all I can say is: without Mick Mars, no crew :) But actually I've always said that. . .

Wanna learn a Crüe song on guitar, this is you best lesson ever!!!

This is fascinating! I always wondered what they heard in their ear monitors. I figured they heard their own instruments or vocals for the singer and I heard about the click track but I didn’t know the guitarists had that too. I thought only the drummers did. Well I’ve been a little more educated tonight. And Mick, you deserve more, man! ❤

If he didn't hear the click track, he would have to hear Tommy - they all have to play to the same beat! lol. Hence, the reason for the click track (metronome) and it's much easier to just listen to the click track then try to decipher the beat through all the cymbals and other generated noise through the mics. Plus, it sounded like Tommy strains to keep up with the clicker, and would throw Mick off a little. It's easier, better, and more accurate to just listen to the metronome.

When I played in bands (bass player here) I usually had kick, hat, and snare highest in the mix with just enough guitar and vocals for me to keep track with where we were in the song. I sang backup/harmony so vox were a little higher in the mix. I could barely hear myself which was fine with me, you can still hear a little bit of the live sounds coming from the PA so I didn’t find it necessary to have me in my own ear.

Mick is and always has been the man!! Wow, what a treat! Team Mick

Beautiful tone!

If only they could manipulate the click track in Vince's ear to be a half second ahead of the rest of the band, he might sing in time. Someone needs to do a video of them playing bass to what Nikki is miming.

Wow. 🙄 They should have called themselves The Has-Beens with special guest star: Mr Mick Mars. That poor guy. I hope he gets every damn cent out of those posers. He deserves it all. Long live Mick Mars!

WOW!!!! I've always wondered what they heard? Now I know.. I have a new found respect for MM.. listening to that in my ear would drive me crazy!!

Your the man Mic, get your money, sounds great!!

Holy shit... All these years and I had no idea Mick was this damn good. The tone and pacing is next level. It must feel like TAKING CRAZY PILLS when you are the only musician in the band and yet the band is united against you. Click track had me cracking up especially with the "1 2 3.. Start" inserts because the rest of the band is so dogshit you never know where you are going

Allegedly Nikki didn’t even have his bass plugged in on the last tour which makes his stage moves hilarious as he really tries to sell it! 😂

Mick Mars is the heart and soul of the Crue easy, his guitar playing is perfect and for me he always gave the guy's a run for their money when it comes to musicianship and being a good person the rest of the crue have always been primadonas mick cared about the craft the music and being hisself 100%-TEAM MICK all day

Thank you Mick Mars

Im 58 years old and Ive lived thru 5 1/2 decades of great music, but somtimes a group will come on and Im like...who the hell is that !? Only takes Me a few bars to figure it usually, but I recognize Mick Mars immediately !! On the first lick !! He just has a swagger that no other guitarist has. Rock On Mick !!!

Team Mick,the guys a legend.Not fake.

This was amazing thank you so much for sharing this - wherever it came from! Mick is just a level above :) Such a shame Vince doesn't even try to put the effort in.

The other 3 guys are just about the cash. Why push your performance when suckers pay money anyways? The only one that seems to have integrity up there is Mick. Maybe I can cut Tommy some slack as I couldn't hear him very well but when I did, he was out of time. Which that's fine as long as you snap back in the pocket within a beat or 2. Vince and Sixx are just mailing it in.

I definitely agree mick was and is Motley crue!!

Mick sounds great!

respect to mick for not having the backing guitars in his ears too. They were absolutely in the PA
