Mick Mars of Motley Crue, WTF >!? - Page 2

StrangerNY · 09-06-2008, 11:32 PM

Mars. Isn't he like, 185 years old?

I keed, I keed.

I read that he has to take a physicial therapist out on the road with him to keep limber enough to actually do the shows. Rock on, Mick.

He's a metal fan who knows enough to follow the music without worshiping false drugged-up gods.

So what's more important? An opportunity to bring a kid into a discussion, hook him, build some trust and maybe turn him on to other cool things he doesn't know about yet or...your opinion?

Intelligence ... Words to keep him alive as he comes of age. I've seen a few guitarists die from drug overdoses, following their heroes.

Now, go after the ones laughing at him. Didn't you see those? Or is laughing at him alright with you?

Love Mick Mar's Dr. Feel Good era tone.

Joeydego · 09-07-2008, 10:13 PM

talkin about micks tone, the entire new crue albm was recorded with this: Digidesign | News | Product News | Digidesign Eleven is Here

BstrdSonOJmsBrwn · 09-08-2008, 12:11 AM

i will say......WHENEVER ya hear Mick Mars...you know its him....very distinctive tone....and i will say...its a pretty GOOD tone....how many of us can say that someone else can pick out OUR tone......??

Gigan · 09-09-2008, 12:35 AM

Ya the crue on 1 and 2 for as well

Skynyrdpicker · 09-09-2008, 12:43 AM

Cool!

Musical Genius is all personal taste. There are many guitar players I would definitely put in that category, it isn't limited to old piano players.

Rock on dude! But, PEI is still smaller than newfoundland

I really can not comment on nick mars but, if he inspired you then I am all for him...hopefully you have opened a door to music and that by itself is a great thing...(hey, I belive in rock and roll)

armann · 09-13-2008, 09:56 PM

Haha that's good to know.

jeremy9222 · 12-24-2008, 12:56 AM

Guys i just wanna say i like mick because umm .. i dunno ? I LIKE HIS MUSIC ? =O i know that growing up these times is terrible musically >_> i didnt like hip hop so i looked into other genres. when i heard " Dr. Feelgood " for the first time, i grew a smile from ear to ear and got goose bumps on my arms xD i know that some of the stuff i said is TOTALLY incorrect .. i know NFLD isn't the smallest island in Canada .. i was trying to instate the fact that ITS PRETTY DAMN SMALL :P

.. maybe i should stop skipping school and going to the guitar store

73roadrunner · 12-24-2008, 01:05 AM

Mick is an awesome, AWESOME guitarist.... How many of you could go up on stage with Ankylosing Spondilitis night after night & rock the place while playing a style of music that isn't your preference?

Not to mention his tone is fuckin godly

Edit: & I don't beleive that The Dirt is a work of fiction... Alot of the things that happened in the book were discussed in The Heroin Diaries.

Geetarguy · 12-24-2008, 09:46 AM

Leave the kid alone!!! We all had our guitar heros when we were kids too...are you guys TOO OLD to remember???? Besides Mick has been known to create some tasty riffs too....
Lighten up....the kid is only 13!!!!

Man, I wish I was into rock when I was 13.. it didn't start until I was a freshman. Man, if I would've started guitar then instead of late Sophmore year, I'd be a beast

DRF · 12-24-2008, 06:11 PM

I dont like Motley Crue, but that solo on Saints of L.A is Fantastic. Taste,tone and economy.

Wow, you waited until freshman year to get into rock? What were you listening to before?

Mark H · 06-16-2009, 02:06 PM

Yeah that clip off Ytube is the good Crew era. The next song, Live Wire IS the MM tone.
Not a rip it up lead guy, but can shread, bone crushing rythem, from multi track lines in the studio as he stated in GP last mo.

Wiki says different on Mars's POB?

Tenacious T · 06-17-2009, 12:00 PM

I've got my Leathur Records copy....Too Fast For Love & Shout at the Devil were GREAT metal records. They set the bar for the LA scene in my opinion.

Mick's playing gets overlooked. He does what he does quite well & has always been one of my favorites in the metal scene.

How in the hell could anyone have anything bad to say about Mick. He's a rocker all the way.

His guitar tone killed on Too Fast For Love! Nasty good.

Loserface300 · 06-17-2009, 10:52 PM

well, Deans guitars custom shop is located right here in tampa, fl... (i need to go on a tour soon)

you MEAN glam metal scene.......

montley crue is GLAM metal.. (no offense) what ive heard, metal fans in the 80s make people wearing glam metal shirts take em off and they would tesr them into peices.......

Tenacious T · 06-18-2009, 04:51 PM

None taken.

Call it what you will. I lived it.

Motley was bad ass on the first two records...however you choose to label them.

Redbird · 06-19-2009, 10:48 PM

Mick Mars gets slammed on the same site that idolizes Ace Frehley..........

mattymel · 06-20-2009, 12:40 PM

"musical genius"? oh to be 13...

Pwnd! Thread over in 55 posts.

Srsly. Everyone has their musical heroes, if it wasn't for the Spaceman I wouldn't have played guitar either. And though I like Ace, I know there are way better guitarists out there.

Musicians have to do what the music asks... You really want the John Petrucci-way of playing on a Mötley song?

Mars is perfect for the Crüe.

EXACTLY!!!
I am glad you got my point. I thought some would think I was slamming Ace.

If you like a guy, and he gets you to play guitar, who gives a shit what anybody says. As you said Mick is perfect for what he does and who he plays for.

jco.1 · 06-22-2009, 10:09 PM

Right on....Mick, Ace, Angus...Keef........not so great technically, but cool as hell across the board.

Mick Mars....Loud, rude, agressive guitarist. Perfect description.

Rock on!

joking aside, i agree he is a good guitarist. "If I die Tomorrow'' (rock ballad) has some real tasteful (!?) licks and great tone.....
