MÖTLEY CRÜE Guitarist: 'I'll Keep Rockin' 'Till I Fall Down' - July 23, 2012
In a brand new interview with the Miami New Times, MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars was asked if sex and life is different now that he has entered his 60s. "Well, yes," Mars replied. "Lots of things change. One doesn't. I'm still no gentleman. I'm still as big an asshole as ever. Lewd and aggressive."

He continued, "But honestly, there's one thing that's really different for me ... Being sober. And it's really helped. The playing is better. The songs are better. There are some people who drink their whole lives. But thankfully, I was just like, 'Ah, I'm over this shit. Over the drug thing. Over the booze thing. Over this other thing.' It's great to be clear-headed, instead of just sitting around going, 'Huh?' like a dummy.

"I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't have many vices, except playing my guitar too much. I guess I'm kind of a boring guy these days. But that's how I'm gonna keep going with MÖTLEY CRÜE as long as I can.

"And even after that, I'll just keep playing and writing for TV commercials, movies, old bands, new bands, baby bands, whatever, right until it's all over. There's no way I can keep touring for the rest of my life, because I don't wanna be 75 on the road like an old goat with his head hanging down.

"But one way or another, I'll keep rockin' 'till I fall down. Definitely."

I'm not a Crue fan. But a big hats off to Mars for going out there and playing the way he does with Ankylosing spondylitis.

He may be a good guitar player but he wastes his talents with this shitty butt rock music.

All they are is good time band that don't really give a shit about the music, just what rewards come from it. I for one cannot respect a band that just cares about the rewards of being in a band.

There used to be a guy on You Tube who played all the Crue songs to a T. I can't find any of his videos anymore. I think he actually won a national contest a few years back and won one of Mick's guitars. In all of his videos there was always a dog in the backround going crazy. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

one of the biggest wastes of guitar talent I can think of.

His playing in early Motley is brutal and agressive, with such melodic solos...And his tone on the Girls was killer.

That's when Nikki wasn't trying to 'modernize' Motley's sound. When they still had some heavy metal credibility in their records.

I remember when he didnt get any respect at all around Theater Of Pain...But he stood the test of times he became a legend. He like him as a human being. he's very interesting when he has something to say.

Hats off to the Legendary Mick Mars who is funny as hell and who even the Aerosmith guys bowed down to his guitar tone. He is so one bad ass and still in his condition it is just plain commendable and admirable. Looking forward to his upcoming solo work as well.

He looks like he's about to fall down, every time he gets on stage.

Nothing against Mick, but I think it's funny how everyon thinks he's so great and classy, just because he's not Vince, Tommy, or Niki. It's not like he's out there feeding starving kids or something. He just gets brownie points becaue the rest of his band are so douchey.

....but I bagged on Mick FOREVER about not being any fucking good and I was wrong. Wrong.
Good guitarist, although you still can't tell me he has good tone, its boring, sounds like he just plugs into anything.

...and where is that solo thing, maybe he will prove me wrong about everything....

Spoken like a true ass rocker. Go read a cannibal corpse or napalm death topic. Those bands only attract latent homosexual males and their concerts smell like ass. That's why you go there

Will Mick ever release any solo stuff? I swear he was talking about releasing a solo record even as far back as the eighties and it still hasn't appeared.

And of course "The songs are better", now that James Michael, DJ Ashba and Marti Frederiksen are writing them :-P

He's responsible for all the CRUE records sounding as good as they did, IMO. Tommy helps, but I give a lot of credit to Mick. And hey, some people don't like everyone saying how much they like Mick, well you don't have to read it here. Everyone likes someone is the biz., just get over it, Mick has a lot of fans thaet respect him for who he is. Get a life. And the solo album is much anticipated here as well. Peace

Blabbermouth survey: Who here would get more excited about a Mick Mars solo record than another Motley Crue terd. I would for sure.

I don't understand how he gets by living in tremendous pain. Anyone else would be bed ridden & it gets worse with age. He seems to be the most decent person in that band.
