Mick Mars Driven

[sydneycarell]

Mick is so awesome! I wish he would get some

More credit! -3

[dgenerated]

I just purchased the Dirt today and i'm already OVER half way through it!!..While I was lost and mesmerized in Nikki's section (in particular), my heart really went out to Mick..What an unfortunate string of awful luck and chronic pain and health issues..It's sad!..

[austin7956]

Happy birthday Mick! (i know he wont read this -_- its the thought that counts :D)

[metalhead898]

thats my dad to the left of mick mars at 1:15. im not shittin you.

[snappythom]

@metalhead898 David Day on the Left

[ANBUblackops666]

read the heroin dairies it shows that Mick ,aside from kicking ass on the guitar, is one of the nicest fucking guys in the world.

[Milton2k]

Soooo, true, duno why Mick never gets the credit he deserves.

[timm441]

Mick is incredible. Great guitarist, very resoectful. Deserves so much more credit than he gets. Rock on Mick!

[ufofan1980]

It's funny how much older Mick is then the other members of Motley Crue. While Mick, Nikki, and Tommy are in their early fifties, but Mick was born in April 24th, 1951, and is 59 now.

[aerosmithmotleycrue]

@ufofan1980 Tommy and Vince are still in their 40's. Vince is 49 and Tommy is 47.

[Rabidsenses]

With all due respect to the rest of the band Mick Mars is reason for the good music.

Nikki and Tommy and are all about theatrics in their otherwise mediocre musical skills.

But make no mistake about it: Mick is the musical genius.

lol! . . . "the old fuck" as they call him.



[kamaboko1]

Obviously this video doesn't stop here. Where's the next part? What's it called?

[andytsa]

@kamaboko1 it a doc called

rise and rise of motley crue.

its up in youtube

[kamaboko1]

@andytsa Thanks!

[mangaspiked]

Mick really was driven to make it, yo you gotta give props to him and Jack Valentine when their manager said to put 3 disco songs and they both said "no, were not doing that"

fuck i would have said the same thing : )

Ken said it best : "we were a ballsy rock and roll band"

oh and that guitar solo at 1:15 is mint

[brgvt97]

Mick Mars is a great guitar player. Enough said.

[stratcat70]

MICK MARS!!! YES MY BRETHREN! RULES.......

[rockstarfriend2049]

Mick Mars is one of my favorite guitarist for SO many reasons.... He still kicks ass!!!!

[XXXDJH101XXX]

in my opinion mick mars is one of the greatest guitar players ever. he is my favorite guitarist ever!

[ElectricGypsy95]

Mick Mars...with a moustache.

[guitarblazer4]

I know a guy just like Mick Mars. I kid you not, like the way these people describe him in the interview sounds alot like my friend, talented but down on his luck.

[tardwhisperer]

@guitarblazer4--You don't know me.

[gayskunk]

@guitarblazer4 yes my brother is in the boat, he can play great, but he got the dirt end of the stick in life

[v0lquete]

Micks an amazing musician

[DodgerFan1988]

Wow, what a transformation! From Hippie to Metal God.

[tthwrthwrhthwrth]

This man is a Legend,He have a Degenerative disease and is 58 years old,but still Rocks !

[gav240z]

Man this looks really interesting. We want more...

[brightbite]

Some one needs to upload the whole thing.

[nightsongs89]

he's The Sound of Motley Crue !!

[ANTHRAXCUDA]

hahah mick with a moustache = MAJOR PIMP

[9mickmars4]

part 2 where is part 2,??? Pleaz upload it or sumthin

[FerraroR]

I have a great admiration for Mick Mars, for many reasons.....the biggest one is that of all the guys in Motley, he traveled the farthest stylistically....his influences were very different than Nikki's or the rest of them and he not only made it work, he contributed to a unique sound and style....on paper a guy like him would never play in a band like Motley, and he's such a great guitar player......riff master deluxe :)

[13MickMars13]

Mick is awesome, and I'll kill anyone who says he's not.

[Limemannen]

i feel sad for him

[9mickmars4]

Mick Mars is so fuckin awsome

[BobReidy]

How weird is it that Mick is a grandpa.I cant believe that.He is to cool to be a grandpa.

[zaphr89]

he looks like a star wars nerd ;)

[RocketQueen122]

He's such a sweetheart.

[motleyhar]

Motley wouldnt be Motley without Mick. He just completes them... the Ying to their Yang (or is it the other way around?). You cant have 4 outrageously ridiculous dudes in a band... they would explode. Mick is awesome!

[chriskoob]

in other words, he's the john entwhistle of the band

[ood2112]

Mick doesn't seem like the type to be in a hair band with tight leather pants but whatever. He rocks

[NightShade1218]

Mick Mars is awesome. He kind of scares me, though.

[disposableteens220]

how come scares you you dont have to be scared of him hes a teddy bear

[NightShade1218]

Guess it's around the way he looks. All black clothes, top hat with a skull, pale skin. He reminds me of the Grim Reaper (with all due respect.)

[disposableteens220]

maybe but god amn dude nikki, tommy and vince say hes the guy with not a bad bone in his body man and his health issues fucked him up. and he wears that top hat cause he has incleouses spondylitis. if you dont now what that is its ageneric bone desies where he cant move his head left or right so he weres the top hat so he looks like a charecter and thats the same thing slash did when him and nikki were wresteling and nikki broke his neck sp he wore a top hat for it

[metalupyourass169]

what...slash stole that hat and had it before he was famous get your facts right

[disposableteens220]

im not saying that i said slash used the top hat for that reason cause his neck brace so he wore that top hat im not comparing him too mick

[metalupyourass169]

but your comment says slash started wearing a top hat because nikki broke his neck...anyway motley and guns rule

[disposableteens220]

yes they do

[NightShade1218]

Agreed.

[9mickmars4]

watt???? you cant brake yur damn neck and live, unless god really effing loves yu or sumthin, where in the world did you hear that nikki and slash wrestled, thats note true

[efee52]

it's his guitar neck dumbass

[rockgodben]

@9mickmars4

It is true its in The Dirt

[neverscrub12]

yeah it is. its in Slash's book. and they were drunk and Slash broke his neck after Nikki fell on him

[9mickmars4]

hmm oh that must of sucked for Slash

[neverscrub12]

yeah but it just popped some vertabrae out of place

[9mickmars4]

oohh, hahah cuz if yu break ya neck, most likely die, hahahha

[Zeppelynne]

I know! Haha. He seems like one of the nicest guys in the world.

[disposableteens220]

i now he does man he looks like the sweetest guy ever

[BlakkieFoxx]

From which year is the pic at 0:33 ? ..before motley?

[mbm13213]

Sometimes you gotta reinvent yourself to be successful.

I'm glad Mick made it. He's a good guy.

[redhead5150]

Mick is underated as a guitarist! I agree!!!

[chaseorta666]

mick mars is so uncredited for his playing!

[evhall1word]

he is one of the best guitarists out there but no one gives him his due

[chaseorta666]

i no!!!!

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

@evhall1word Yeah, only when he passes away he'll then get recognized.

[azazelsdottir]

@RaguelAngelofBalance Its like John Lennon said: "Everyone loves you when you're six-feet-under."

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

@azazelsdottir Sad, but true!

[9mickmars4]

i agree

[sexitaliana629]

@chaseorta666 I think he is one of the most unrecognized amazing guitar players. he's not loud and obnoxious so no one gives him the time of day!

[motleychris95]

was this on the whole band or just mick and is there more to it?

[Huggietehr0x]

i think there was more on each member individually then things as a group this is just a section of the show

[glamdog69]

Mick Mars is the most underrated guitar player ever.. He can play as well as anyone.. He is the glue that holds Motley together. Mick you're the best!!!!

[LBjim]

I love Mick, becouse he is a survivor. He deserves everything he gets!!!

[metalhead898]

my dad was in whitehorse with him. his name is david day along with kenny ,jack and harry. he was on the left playing with mick mars in the video. whitehores came this close to becoming famous. but they couldnt hold on.

[crue93]

Have u shown this vid to your dad??

[metalhead898]

of course. he's seen it before me

[FreakDaGeek]

disco blows monkey balls, always has, always will.

it's the era of music that that should be forgotten, along with the green bell bottom jeans.

[metalhead898]

of course, but they just made that up, that wasnt the real story. Jack was also a liar, he just wanted to tell the story the way it supposed to ended.

[bretnine]

fuckin awsome band! my favorite.

[kingofcartoonanimals]

Mick hated KISS.

[VILASpeople]

Mick Mars is 10 years older than the rest of the Crue, so he put a lot of 70s influence in his music

[crue93]

and even older , Nikki was a KIss-Aerosmith-Alice Cooper-fan..

[LifeJunkie2010]

Which Crue member hated Kiss? I know one of them absolutely hated them.

But i cant rquite remember which one...

[crue93]

I think it was Gene

[H057IL3]

Gene IS part of Kiss.

Mick Mars hated (hates) Kiss.

[crue93]

Yeh I know!!. I meant Mick and/or Nikki hate/s Gene, the Crue actually performed with Ace Frehley in 1989 in th Dr. Feelgood tour, they played Jailhouse rock..

[H057IL3]

Really? We learn new things every day.

[LifeJunkie2010]

Yeah, He loved the blues. and good rock n' roll.

I think that part of why he always seems so ...not excitable (besides his anklyosing spondilits) is I honestly don't know if Crue is EXACTLY what Mick wanted to play. I think it was half.

I bet he loves home sweet home and without you.

but obviously he likes the rest of the st;uff or he would have left Crue. Thank God he didnt

[VILASpeople]

Yeh, 100& agree

[Laneybop]

Somebody upload the whole thing plzz, i really wanna see it

[C3POROBOT1]

What a great story.

[Ty1lo]

all hail Mick Mars

[pinchadios]

Mick rocks.

He´s amazing, i just love watching him play the Motley songs.

[Renegadrian]

I LOVE MICK MARS - one of my heroes.

Sometimes I cry when I think about his problems...He just barely stands but when he's on stage he rocks the hell out of his guitar...

A role model not only as a guitar player but as a man...thx mick - you rule...

[SEAHAGS76]

Mick Mars is bad ass.

[fatguyinchair3]

Mick might be the most underrated guitarist ever. He is so awesome.

[motleyrocker1990]

Mick Mars is my hero

[lillygirloflove]

Is this on DVD? Where can I see the full episode...

[70marco80]

or better yet: Bob Alan Deal a.k.a, B.A.D :p

[maradona87]

his name was Robert ALAN Deal not Robert ANTHONY Deal. This video is erroneous.

[xStiltzkinX]

i noticed that too and i laughed :)

[Alphafart22]

how old is he

[TNCELFL]

57 i tink

[nicholasbang]

wah

[theboneman1977]

119 years young

[snakeeyesandsissies3]

mick was not the founder of crue

nikki was, mick just came up with the name

[Hunkola]

Mick was actually the founding member of Motley Crue.....a lot of people dont know that but it's true.

[AlexxFarrell]

Oh I heard Nikki say that they were both lookin for a band and Mick and Nikki didn't get along at first or something like that, I remember Nikki said he said, "FUCK YOU I LISTEN TO AEROSMITH" lol

[Hunkola]

The facts are a little hazy......but I think Nikki and Mick met around 1978 but they didnt get along at all - they told each other to "fuck off" and that was that. Luckily, fate would intervene and they would meet up in 1980 and this time Motley Crue was born....

[SakuyaKira24]

your right nik and t-bone founded it mick came, then vince.

[Edfeldt666]

no mick replaced another guitarist in the band, or he was kind of forced to move out of the bant 'caus mick whanted to be the only guitarist

[snakeeyesandsissies3]

mick was not the found of crue,

nikki was, mick just came up with the name

[motleysixx666]

uh no, it was tommy and nikki. mick joined soon after. read the dirt.

[AgentAJD]

There are at least 2 members who are the founding member, and they were Nikki and Tommy. They found Mick in a newspaper add.

[glamdog69]

Mick didn't form the Crue, ha answered an ad in a newspaper... WANTED: LOUD, RUDE AND AGGRESSIVE GUITAR PLAYER..... Its well documented....

[hesrs]

that was micks ad,tommy was the one that called him

[sincitysin20]

Mick Mars wife left Mick for the guitar player in Hellion.

[uyt077]

I read that in a book. I heard Mick Mars was really mad because when motley crew went on tour he came back and cound out that Chet Thompson who played with Ann Boleyn in Hellion had been fucking Mick's wife!

[ikonxp]

motley crue not crew

[MsThings]

RAGS 2 RICHES

[Kmarxist]

Rags to Freemason is more like it.

[hesrs]

fame

[ValhallaRose]

micks even a grandaddy

[lukie3434]

my dad was in WHITE HORSE HE WAS THE SINGER!!!!! IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME HE'S IN DIRT THEIR BOOK AND HE HAS A PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE OMCE HAD TO PAY FOR HIS CIGARETTES AND HIS GAS MONEY! thats when he was poor!! my dad was vocals... he lived with Bob for 2 years and met his wife, baby and was a good friend of his.....my sister rode in his limo around Cali. they made a song called welcome to L.A!

[Steve92crue]

[fatguyinchair3]

Dude thats awesome

[kbergsland]

NICE MUSTACHE MICK xD

[stevieVantanna]

Luckiest guitarist ever! Richer than all those jock guitar players from the eighties. He's inspirational for shure.

[sikkinixx71]

mick beat the fucking shit out them. you're the ONE. your fans love you.

[Steve92crue]

thanks for posting!

[inagod]

5 kids,his book is on the NY times best seller list.

[Steve92crue]

which book? the dirt?

[moodyblue77]

if you are referring to mick, he has 3 kids. les paul, stormy and erik.

[ArvisGambit]

How many kid does he have? Does any body know?

[rickk4art]

A true Rock Rags to riches story-I have sooooo much more respect for a person who makes it and was dirt poor....it just makes me feel they really are talented and gifted because there are lots of people who make it on their money,looks, and insider stuff etc al---Mick is a GREAT GUITARIST AND STAR!!

[aliceinchainsheather]

my friend is scared of mick mars,i mean, she saw a picture of him and she was FREAKED OUT and i dont know why...mick is hot!

[eggbertsmith]

Really? Even with the wigs he used to wear in the 80's, cause he was like 40 when he joined that band and was bald? "hot" huh?

Ah....standards.

[stevieVantanna]

He was 30...and cooler than you will ever be.

[danophile07]

hes my guitar heroe, he deserved every bit of fame and fortune he got :)

[TwilightZoneBand]

Gotta love the Crue. I love Mick! Man if you've ever heard Starry Eyes, that outro Solo is just KILLER! I wanna see a Live version of Starry eyes to see how it ends!

[TwilightZoneBand]

That being said, he has SUCH a nice story actually! two kids, no job, one set of clothes, crappy amps and guitars...but was able to play the hell out of it. Eventually he was heading for disaster, but then he becomes the man behinds one of the best band's music, and now he's laughing away in his pool of $100 bills!

[Stenopelmatus]

Yes, exactly my thoughts! I've always loved this outro. It's THE outro.

[yfz450rider39]

WOO mick

[xTHEATRExOFxPAIN]

this is all wrong.

micks name is bob ALAN deal...

and he wasnt mad because his initials were RAD...

he was freaked cuz his initals were BAD (BOB alan deal)

retards.

[AxSxHxAxLxExY]

bob is short for robert.

[xTHEATRExOFxPAIN]

obviously...

i know...

but have you read 'the dirt'?

he said he was born B.A.D.

even tho his name is/was robert.

and who cares if their initials are RAD?

he went by Bob... so he was freaked about BAD.

not RAD.

[AxSxHxAxLxExY]

yeah true i was just saying. lol.

i havent read that book yet.

i think i am becus i liked nikki sixx's

book a lot.

Herion Diaries.

[xTHEATRExOFxPAIN]

yeahhhh...

heroin diaries was killer.

the dirt is amazing tho.

especially if you like all the guys.

its pretty funny... in most parts.  but some are... deep.

very revealing tho...

[AxSxHxAxLxExY]

yeah lol slash pees the bed all the time.

that was hilarious!

my uncle told me that r.a.d met

Rock Against Drugs lol.

[guyverunit1]

heroin diaries sucks ass compared to the dirt.

[AxSxHxAxLxExY]

oh i will have to get that.

[guyverunit1]

[Maaverick45]

Mick Mars story rules!

[linasantos]

Mick rules man!!, he`s the man.

But what happened, why is this so short, i`d like to see more. how can i get this video of vh1. it`s so interesting.

[lemoine1972]

mick is fuckin god

[ratedrsuperstar81]

Hmmm. I thought it was Bob ALAN Deal? Not Anthony.

[rolltider17]

That's what I thought too! :(

[motleykidd666]

mick was way different back then, nothing like you would ever see in motley...but he is fuckin bad ass.

[Grazydine]

Mick Mars has A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E. on the guitar, and i love it

[gunsnmotley]

his real name is Bob Deal

[liwewired]

lol. hes real name isnt robert 0:20

[esterlingo]

Yes it was. Bob is short for Robert.

[liwewired]

I know, but his real name is bob. Read the dirt

[stinktank]

thats true, his given name is Bob..says in his wiki entry as well

[rhoadsrules88]

When the hell did this come out? I haven't seen on VH1 yet.

[mrv1967]

it's been years - it only aired a couple times. This was about the time Red, White, and Crue tour was going on.

[leroman]

Mick proved that you can come out of the shit and still be fucking # 1 if you put your eyes on the prize and work hard!!!
