The current Motley Crue drama/lawsuit

I gotta say that I’m happy Mick Mars is fighting to protect his legacy in the band. Those guys threw him under the bus after 41 years. According to Mick, they’ve been trying to ditch him since 1987! I totally believe Mick’s side of the story because he’s always been the guy that stayed out of trouble and had been 100% about the music. The other three guys are clowns always saying or doing dumb shit. And Nikki has always been a mediocre bass player. With the current trend of pre-recording things these days, it’s very believable. And Vince is a pathetic mess. He’s out of shape, out of breath and forgets lots of the lyrics. Which makes it ironic that they are accusing Mick of forgetting his parts. I’m pretty sure that if Mick was messing up bad (like they claim) the fans would talk about it online (like they do about Vince).

Here’s the full interview with Mick…

I can't believe as horrible as Vince has sounded for ages that Mick was the problem. Hope Mick wins everything he's asking for.

I used to think that Mick was the weak link in the band and his solos rather pedestrian. But as time passed I realized he was the backbone of the group. And if the Dirt is to be believed, then the band was Mick and 3 douchebags. I hope Mick wins.

That’s what I’m saying!

It doesn’t make sense. But Mick has said they were trying to boot him out since ‘87. Maybe because he never partook in their drug activities and he is more than 10 years older than them. Who knows? Nikki tries to take credit for everything. Sure he wrote the majority of the songs, but Mick has his trademark guitar tones and he named the band. Bob Daisley even knew that Mick was a big part of the chemistry that helped take them to the top (no pun intended).

Vince is by far the weakest link!

Don’t forget how terrible they treated John Corabi.

I also thought his playing was rather basic, but sometimes “less is more”. And his tones (especially on Shout at the Devil) were huge!

Mick was the only levelheaded serious musician. The other guys are clowns looking for attention, drugs and STD groupies. If they didn’t have a “father like” bandmate like Mick, the band would have fell apart. The other three are selfish buffoons. They always have to turn on someone. In the 90’s it was Vince, now it’s Mick. Even Tommy didn’t play on one of the albums because he was sick of heavy metal. He went full blown wiggy rap for several years.

Mick was the "quiet man" in MC for too long. It's been fun seeing him finally let those other three dicks have it with both barrels. Go Mick!

And I don’t think it will backfire like the other “quiet guy” Rex Brown.

Even if Mick writes a memoir book, the fans know the other three deserve whatever dirt he dishes on them. We’ve all seen the dumbass stuff the “three stooges” aka Tommy, Vince and Nikki have done in the news.

Save your money and catch a Crue tribute band.

The singer is more likely to sound like the albums than the real thing. And he’s not out of breath and relying on the audience to sing the lyrics for him.

I still need to watch the Crue movie.
Also, I know Nikki has a Mick portrait tattoo.
Always loved Crue - except when Corabi joined.
John 5 joining up - is kind of a fun thing. A kickstart.
In 1982 - hearing the guitar solo on “ Piece of your Action “…….
I was inspired ! F Van Halen. That Crue record had real and nasty.

Great pick scrape to any song ever.
