Just saw MC at Vegas, yes the show was awesome. Here is Mick seemingly frail, but playing his heart out and taking a few sit down breaks when he could. He is a true entertainer & professional. The show must go on!!
Who cares how old he is. He started out as a penny-less father on the streets. He's still rockin harder than and living a better life than any of the nay-sayers on this thread.
@NORDSTRAND83 He suffers with Ankylosing spondylitis (think that is how it's spelt), it's a chronic arthritis, affects the spine and pelvic areas. I believe he's had it most of his life :] Hope that answers your question \m/
It's strange to think Mick was 18 in 1969. Think of all those bands around L.A at that time-The Doors/Beach boys/Byrds/Mamas and papas/ etc etc. Not to mention the whole 'Manson family' thing going on. Man, what a time to be a teenager/20's. Bet he's got some interesting stories to tell about L.A back then.
@bernhardtsen74 it's degenerative bone disease, its amazing how he can still shread better than anyone and put on a hell of a show dispite his condition, i got it see him live back in '09 on the Cruefest 2: Dr. Feelgood 20th Aniversary tour, best concert i've ever been too, MICK MARS IS GOD!!!
Nikki is the only member who still cares about Mick... When he got his hip replaced Nikki was the only one who went to see him. Nikki was the one who went to check on him when he was a leper from the rest of the band, and got him off pain killers..
this is actually Mick Mars too...brother to Mick. One was short...the first Mick was tall about 6 ' or so. Mick one was a mute, thus, there was a need for his brother to fill in for him...right? I know that these guys seem like they are rather, way out, by a Christian's view point. But, Mick Mars gave almost all of his money to the homeless. Jesus must have been watching...right?
man we have quite a few disrespectful pricks upon this comment page huh..... pricks that don't know just how great/cool of a man and guitarist Mick Mars really is..... next time pricks, pull ur damn masterhand away and slap urselves silly upside ur heads
See, Thats why I never wanted to meet him. I would have asked him "How can you handle playing, with these three retards". Or maybe"Hey motherfucker did you know you look like E.T.?"
Hello, I'm Mick Mars, I've never had any real talent. My bones are now fused together and I'm now boning a 18+ year old because I'm stupid and am playing on my success. She will fuck me over in the end because I think with my cock.
Always remember, there is no fool like an old fool.
@therealuptheass Whatever you think about the Crue's lifestyle or music, Mick is a great blues based hard rock guitarist. Memorable solos, great hooks, great tone, and a unique style of playing. Maybe hes not a shredder, maybe hes not "cool" in the eyes of the self appointed taste makers, but the man can play, no question. The fact that he is still playing with his illness shows strength of character too. Frankly, you don't know what you are talking about. What have you achieved exactly?
@CHURCHOFIOMMI amen dude. Mick Mars is one of, if not most, favorite guitarists out there, the guy's the fuckin' master.... and Motley Crue-wise, He and Vince are my favorites
@Rocky54167 damn right buddy.... I mean come on, he puts up with the other 3 retards hey lmao.... no offense to Vince though, he is my next favorite from Motley after Mick
It's sad how immobile Mick is these. I wish nothing but the best to this dude. He was really the glue that held their live performance together all these years. His performances are always spot on holding down both the rhythm and lead guitar section of Crue.
From all the guys in Motley, Mick is my favorite, not because he's the guitarist, he is a great guitarist, but what I love about him is that he has this weird spine disease and still gets up and play the whole night, I find that very admirable! :D
@SanctuaryMusic Yup, he is definetaly the most admirable one in the band, that's why it kind of bothers me that he is the last guy that people notice in Motley Crue, Nikki is probably the most famous because he does so many other thing besides the band, Vince is probably second because no one forgets the singer, and then Tommy, the freakin beast behind the set. Mick is also a big part of the band, just cause he didn't bang chicks like the other guys did doesn't mean he's less important.
@1ballz08 It was inherited and he's been dealing with it since probably his early 20's I think. Very sad. But at least he can still play, unlike guys worse off like Jason Becker.
@CaptainFantastik1 Ah, I see. Well, you're right, he still playz pretty decent. He played a good show last week. Wasn't too mobile, though I can understand why. I'm not familiar with Jason Becker. I'll have to look him up next and see what the deal was with him. Thanx for the response, Captain! :)
mick is deffinently the strongest one in the band and he way underappreciated for that its going to be a very emotinal day when he dies hes one of my biggest role models and he was the one that inspired me to play guitar. if your reading this mick we love you and will always be in our hearts.
You know just yesterday i was thinking man he is not looking good then i watched this interview he's still sharp its just that disease he has that makes him seem really bad if he was really sick he wouldnt be on tour and still hitting every chord or note correctly love you Mick
what is motley going to do when he dies he is sick i was told not in good health and i will be very upset when that day get's here i have been a fan for over 25 year's he is a fucking legend for real.
I dont like motley crue (other then 2 songs) however i have ALOT of respect for Mick Mars, with all his problems he stillgets up stage and gives it his best. fucking good on him!
He looks a lot healthier than I would have thought. That illness apparently makes shit grow in the spaces between bones, but after such a long amount of time, you'd think he'd be almost immobile by now. He doesn't look so bad. Though it probably is painful as fuck.
@Hawkmon15 Ankylosing Spondylitis is what it's called (that's what I got from the internet, anyway) he explained it as shit growing in all the empty spaces between his bones, especially his spine. That's why he can't move much, can't even move his head back and forth anymore. It's a genetic disease he was diagnosed with at 19.
Is that also why his skin is a pale white? I always wondered why his skin was like that. Did it also do something to his head because I don't think I ever saw him with his hat off.
@Hawkmon15 No, I guess he's just pale like that, I've never heard anything about it affecting his skin color. And he doesn't have his hat on a lot of the time...at least, in the past. It shouldn't have done anything to his head.
@lukestur Mick actually does wear a hat all the time nowadays. He wears it because light, especially the lights at the Motley shows, tend to bother his eyes. Its another side effect of his disease. I forget where I heard that, but I know it was a quote from him. Mick is awesome!! 7/20 at Nassau Coliseum...Motley Crue, Poison, and the New York Dolls...so stoked!! Mick and the boys still tear it up live!!
@lukestur He's definitely on medication to prevent it from progressing too rapidly. It is very painful for him, but he's a trooper. The pain is why he only uses strats anymore. Theyre very light guitars which puts less pressure on his back
