  • Met him in Vegas... He appreciated me telling him he is the reason I picked up the guitar 20+ yrs ago... Mick fucking rules

  • damn hes old

  • @SlipknotBoi11 well he was born in '51

  • @CJLewis20 gasp

  • @CJLewis20 Mick Mars was born in 51? That means he is the same age as my dad. With that said though, Mick looks like he is in way worse shape. Does he have any health problems?

  • @NORDSTRAND83 actually, yes he does. not sure of the exact term but he has a major problem with his spine and pelvis. he's actually 3 inches shorter than he was in high school.

  • whats the song called in the beginning?

  • @ghostbusters938 White Trash Circus

  • @MissPikklz Thanks!

  • this is the same animation in that video as ghostflowers by otep..

  • Comment removed

  • The crypt keeper is still at it. My God, he makes Rick Ocasak look like Brad Pitt

  • i love this guy

  • One of my Rock Idols

  • Didn't Mick write with Andy Sixx in that time?

  • He is what ROCK N ROLL is all about! The man is truly an inspiration and one of the GREAT guitarists of rock! His stuff is clean,dirty and cuts to the bone...Motley would not survive if he was to leave...

  • Mars has one foot in the grave. i was there since day 1 with the crue. but go away and deal with your life.

  • dude, when he says 'Do as i Please...' he sounds like my history teacher XD

  • "DO AS I PLEEZ!" :P lolz XD

  • all prayerz 2 u mick, long live

  • My last request when I am on my deathbed, is to meet this man! I love you Mick!

  • whats the song they play throughout the video?

  • @ddavis2354 White Trash Circus

    

  • to keep band with riffs-real talant

  • dude mick is an amazing guitarist why do people have to hate on him. motley crue rocks!! some people just dont know good music when they hear it mick puts his heart and soul into playing for all us even tho he's sick show some respect!

  • holy shit mick mars is an actual human being, firat time i've heard him talk

  • Just saw the Crue at the Hollywood Bowl the other night. They kicked ass!! And as for Mick... I have a whole new level of respect for the dude.  Some of the coolest riffs/licks and some wicked screamin harmonics.

    The dude is talented without a doubt!

  • @misterlaff dude you are extremely "fluent in the genre of Suck"

  • @jodonte1 - Go fuck yourself u piece of shit.

  • @mtlsixshooter old people love your money too...

  • @jodonte1 fuck off asshole!!!!!!!!!!! not everyone is having a laugh!! Complete Crueheads aren't laughing, if anything, we gained so much respect for Mick!!!! COMPLETE ASSES LIKE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES LAUGHING!! Plus, probably people who aren't complete Crueheads aren't laughing, they probably are feeling sad for Mick, also!!!! so fuck off!

  • @monkeyblue13 so i guess you are a "cruehead".. that sounds like you are 10 yrs. old, and don't like the truth... old people go away.....and you can fuck off too....

  • @jodonte1 --Not all Crueheads are old. My 17-year-old son has some guitar skills of his own, but he won't touch Crue music, because he says Mick Mars is just too good. He'll play Metallica, Bullet for my Valentine, Between the Buried and Me, among others. I heard him singing Bohemian Rhapsody the other day and I swear, even though I'm his mother, I think Freddy Mercury would be pleased. I've never heard anyone else come even close to hitting notes like that! Mick Mars is one of the best ever

  • Wtf he's sixty/.?

  • hes awesome but he kinda looks like et here !! yeah yeah i know all about his condition.

  • One of the most underrated guitarists. He is certainly a legend and deserves lots of recognition. His guitar tone still gives me chills.

  • @TemperDove Mick gets some tones out of those Fenders that are truly from the "other side." Mick is soooooooo underrated it's fucking sickening.

  • Yeah, everybody says how much Mick sucks but I've been playing for years and have more trouble with some of his stuff than even John Petrucci's or Steve Vai's work. He can play that slop so close to the edge and yet never sound off. I don't know man.. guy's a genius if you ask me.. and him and Nikki really know what people want to hear.

  • 26,46,56,..or 126,...will always be a LOUD,RUDE,AGGRESSIVE GUITAR PLAYER!!!.....love u mr mars,baddass

  • one of the most underated guitarists thats for sure

  • @nickjack28 why he is just an average guitar player

  • I was going to watch until the damned advertisement came on. F.

  • man he's incredible. he deals with a ton of pain and just keeps on rockin for us. he's awesome

  • Mick Mars is one of the greatest players of our day and one of the strongest willed people ever. He deals with pain most of us can't imagine and can still rock the house down.

  • i heard in an interview, andy six of black veil brides is collaborating with mick mars

  • what montley song is playing during the video?

  • @angusyoungdude2 White trash circus

  • I could have seen that man live at sonisphere (europas biggest touring metal festival)in finland but may an hour before the should go on stage a terrible storm started (took a mans life...) and that storm tracht mötleys hole stuff so thet they couldn´t play there set. that pissed me offff! coz mötley crue is a band woth to see!!

  • @darlamilf47 like it is that u in ur vid u uploaded cause if it is id split u in half gorgeous lol and think of the amount of women that mick mars has had its good to see women still into mick mars hes been one of my heros since a kid

  • Respect!

  • he's like a statue... it's so sad, how such a brilliant person could have so many odds against him, but yet he still kicks ass! he grew up poor, had no job, a kid when he was 20, and all the bands he was in leading up to motley crue we're so crappy, but he came out of all that with, and blew the roof off the house. he is with no doubt one of my favorite guitar players. the day he dies will be a sad day for people with an ear for music and good taste in guitar playing every where

  • Mick is one of the worlds best guitar players and everytime I see Mötley play live and Mick solo part takes place ,I just freeze and become hypnotized from his playing. And Im glad he still does what he loves doing inspite of his illness, cus I love this man!

    Mötley Rülez!

  • mick mars is the perfect grandfather

  • Mick Mars' bones are all fucked up yet he's one of if not the best guitarist out there. I take off my hat and bow down to you Mick

  • I just realized that Mick Mars kinda looks like Joe Satriani, but with long black hair.

  • Mick went to the crossroads to get his blues riffs maybe his A S is a payment for that.Seriously Mick is one of the greatest performers and guitar players that deserves the fame and respect he has.Mick come back to Australia and teach some of the young guns how to play.

  • wats the song at the begining?

  • @MCRThreeDaysGraceFan i think it's "white trash circus", isn't it?

    but it's definitely from the 2008 "saints of los angeles" album!

  • @MCRThreeDaysGraceFan I'ts called "Whie Trash Circus" off "The Saints of Los Angeles C.D.

  • mick looks like a combination of michael jackson and ozzy osbourne.

    he fuckin rules

  • I have the same disease Mick has (Ankylosing Spondylitis) and it's not rare. It affects 1 in 10 people to some degree. Unfortunately for Mick it's quite severe. Mine is manageable with anti inflammatory drugs that have to administered via infusion. Go Mick your an inspiration to all of us AS sufferers.

  • what is the name of the song at the beginning of the video when it starts???

  • i went to a motley crue concert recently in the summer, and mick mars...wow...no matter how sick or frail he may looks, he's pure rock n roll when he plays, i bow down to mick mars :)

  • @bellaqueen16 he also probably was very druged lol!

  • @Mastouril LOL probably! but he could still school these "new younger" rock n rollers anytime!! ;-)

  • he looks just like MAB

  • He has Ankylosing Spondylitis which is a degenerative bone disease, and it's inherited. It affects joints and ligaments that allow the spine to move, they then become stiff, inflamed and hard to move. Its very rare and there's no cure for it... That's what i read in the motley crue book anyway!

  • @Harmonflea aww that sucks for Mick Mars, but hey he still kicks ass, and likes to rock hard that all we care about :)

  • Mick is currently 59. Ahhh I might be weird, but I think he is soo sexy! =)

  • How old is he?

  • LOVE YOU MICK FOREVER AND ALWAYS BROTHER! THANKS FOR MOVING MY SOUL, AND GENERATION X,s!!! u,r the greatest

  • Aguante mick !!! aguante Motley!!!!

  • Thanks for the hope & inspiration Mick.~From a recently disabled CrueHead.

  • one of the all time greats, shame he is so underated but we know....

  • that dude sat to his left couldn't give less of a sh*t about what he was saying. that's so annoying.

  • Mick's Hands Are Always On Fire.

  • mick mars is the man !

  • For most of his professional career, Mars has openly struggled with ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic, inflammatory form of arthritis that mainly affects the spine and pelvis. It was initially diagnosed when he was 19 years old, and has increasingly impaired his movement and has caused him a great deal of pain. This led to hip-replacement surgery at the end of 2004.[8]

  • mick mars is a genius

  • i love him but he looks like e.t

  • Mick is a warrior. Has come so much adversary and persevered beyond a normal persons thresholds. Plus he's talented as hell

  • I know he has arthritis something chronic but he's just so pale. He just looks sick.

  • Mick was a guitarist folling a local band around with a blown amp, broken guitar and one pair of cloths, They got a record deal and it soon feel through the floor, back to being the poorest of poor, he stuck a deal with Motley Crew after showing them his talents, become one of the most infuential, and best players ever to pick up a guitar!

    And on top of it all he has a Bone Disease, and still manages to get up and play for his fans. He has enough money to stop, but he DOESN'T!

    Thats loyal!

  • Is it just me or Mick Mars looks really like Alice Cooper?

  • @beefcake0354 yeah didnt you know they are brothers !!!! ... haha not.

  • @beefcake0354 he does man!

  • i hate the stupid retarded people say mick isnt an influence or he sucks. do you know how much pain he is in all the time. yet he plays guitar every night in fornt of a lot of loyal fans. i

  • @TheMotley6661 - Well said dude.. Not an influence? Motley Crue lead a whole wave of music out of LA... Love them or hate them (personally my all time fav band).. they deserve alot more credit than they get. Each member of Crue has had alot of painful times, Vince with alcohol and his daughter, Sixx obviously with drugs, Mick with his back... and yet they still play and give it 100%. Most "rock" fans now are blinded by mainstream music. Before it was a "scene" it was a way of life!

  • @panterahead667 I agree dude.. Mick Mars is definitely one of the best guitarists ever.. I'm only 19, but I realize how awesome motley crue's music is.. In my opinion all the best bands still end up playing years down the road, no matter what.. that is proof that the crue still has passion for their music, alot of bands aren't like that.. and not to mention they have still made good songs.. you gotta give 'em credit for rocking!!

  • @649alex same here..love the crue

  • flat out faggot

  • man if mick isnt a influence then idk who is look at him this guy in the 80's was a average guy well average rock n roll guy but still not he's like a 100pounds skinnier and cant move his neck sideways but he is still living a decently normal life and u have some people that sit there and complain ohh i worked for a hour my back hurts well FUCK THOSE PEOPLE!

  • does mick still have back problems

  • probaly does and probaly always will

  • @weathered79 its not just back problems, its a degenerative bone disease that causes him nonstop pain. he can't move his neck horizontally and needed a hip replacement from this disease in like 2005. if that's what you're referring to, then yea, he still has it

  • mick mars is the most underrated guitarist in metal...i always thought that he wasnt that good cause most of crue's music sounds the same...but then i saw him live and wow was my mind changed he is a wicked guitarist!

  • Stop talk about Slash or GNR? MICK MARS IS A KING

  • i agree mick mars is king but slash ... you got to give him credit even though he cant match up

  • what is the name of the song at the begining

  • white trash circus

  • White trash circus

  • mick is my hero

  • Mick is Simply amazing,he is 58 years old and have a Degenerative disease ,but Still Rocks !

  • @tthwrthwrhthwrth what disease does he have?

  • Ankylosing spondylitis

  • oh are you saying mental or physical ... if you meen mental well he is a demented troll/rock god

  • awesome guitarist! shup!

  • "Do What I Please!"

    LOL

  • Hes got a bone disease, he cant move his neck horizontally.

  • @karcus0 Can you tell me more about it? I never heard this?

  • I hate all those bands kissing Motley Crue's ass, Papa Roach, Theory of a Deadman, etc. Fuck them.

  • mick has really big hands

  • Those newfag bands he's playing with are all gay.

  • Shut the fuck up, Crashdïet kicks ass

  • You're a new fag.

  • Shut the fuck up motherfucker

  • Haha you're angry. Ha-ha.

  • Mick deserves more repect...has he ever missed a note?

  • haha, i have honestly never heard mick talk before : / cool guy though, lol awesome guitarist

  • haha yea Mick has the cutest voice now and way back i was watching old interviews of him in the 80's and 90's his voice is soo hot lol he seems like a nice guy

  • Mick is so awesome and I have the upmost respect for him. I also share his love of blues!

  • He is 58 years old. Give the man a break. A cousin of mine has Ankylosing Spondylitis as well. It can fuse the discs of the spine together eventually.

  • Yep and He totally can Kick Slashes ASS!

  • Slash really sucks, I don't know why people say that he's a guitar hero

  • @GregHM81 i know right they need to look at mick mars more he is an inspiration to me and many others.

  • im guessing your better then slash

  • @GregHM81 slash doesn't suck, he's not overrated. It's just people give him way more exposure for whatever reason. Just because you see slash everywheres doesn't mean he' sucks.

  • The point is, if Slash is so great like people claim him to be, why the hell he didn't succeed when he left GNR?? He released two solo albums with Slash's Snakepit which weren't so great. He is only known for playing with GNR, outside GNR Slash is nothing

  • thats why both velvet revolver albums are double platinum or something like that. Both those solo albums were excelent blues/rock albums if you ever actually listened to them and he has played with pretty much everybody since. What exactly do you describe as success?

  • I said Slash's Snakepit, not VR, read carefully

  • @GregHM81 i'm saying he is known for velvet revolver. There is no point in saying Slash isn't good, cause he is. If you are a musician or play an instrument, you begin to respect all artists. If you do play and don't, then you are stubborn.

  • @GregHM81 you also said outside gnr slash is nothing, to which Jeremy brought up velvet revolver's success. I think you ought to read your own posts more carefully.

  • Uhm, GnR hasn't done so red hot without Slash either.

  • he has a disease which makes him look very very old :( but he still plays the electric guitar like a thunderstorm :)

    he's awesome

  • Mick is super talented.

  • this guy as a bad ass sound live

  • "Do What I Please" ha ha ha

  • thanks Mic for all of your hard work brother. you have helped many lives understand what Rock and roll realy is.

  • I LOVE MICK

    he was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitus so he hunches over and is so little, his bones are deteriorating or something

  • its not really deteriorating his bones, it just compresses the spine

  • i'm a Mick freak. . . i googled ankylosing spondylitis X3

  • actually its the disease that consumes his life that makes him look old...

  • How old is he? He looks ancient now. That's what orgies, drugs and very little sleep will do to you.

  • @rickdafrog Mick never took drugs in his life...he is like 55...1313

  • @MrGuitargod01 yess he did a ton of drugs!! when motley was new of course if he did them now he would die...1313 is MM mick mars. m is the 13th letter

  • @CrueFestatSixxAM True,but Mick's main drug of choice was booze to numb the pain due to his fused bones in his spine and neck.Mick was older and more mature than the other band members and it's a miracle he's still even alive his disease Ankylosing Spondylitis used to be fatal and it's so bad he can't move his head from left to right,so no drivers license.Mick never did it for the money or fame it was his passion for the music,something that is sadly lacking in alot of todays music.

  • @MrGuitargod01: He did speed as twentysomething, and lots of cocaine in Crüe. In his own words, he quit coke "when it became a problem".

  • Mick is a great overall guitar player. Monster tone, great riffs, great musicianship, I love his solos too and I like his vibrato, and I don't mean just the whammy. To me, he's as good as Ace and Billy Gibbons and Joe Perry, who are my favorites, along with Zakk Wylde and even Slash, Slash's no fool at all. What the heck, they're all good at their own thing!!!

  • Mick mars is where it's at, better than fucking slash.

    go watch slash videos if you disagree.

  • @riiukun your a mick mars fanboy, and love to jerk off to him.

  • slash is a cock sucker, MICK MARS is a god

  • That's totally true. Hey, did you know Chris Rock is really cool? And that Pope's getting married? I'm so happy Paris Hilton won a Mensa award.... Yeah, and Mick's a shitty guitar player. Oh, and Kate Winslet's ugly.
