- Mick Mars has released his first and long-awaited solo album, The Other Side of Mars today, February 23, 2024 via his own label 1313 in partnership with MRI.
The legendary guitarist's riffs, solos, and devastatingly heavy guitar tone have fueled Motley Crue for four decades of world-conquering, multi-platinum sonic mayhem. Micks' prolific and innovative playing style changed the face of music and helped revolutionize a new genre of music in the 80s, forging Motley Crue to become a staple on MTV and the radio.
Taking up from where he left off with Motley Crue, Mick is on a mission to resurrect the sanctity of heavy metal to its purest and most accessible form. Fusing elements of rock and blues from his musical idols such as Jimi Hendrix, Mick has created a potent blend of high-powered melodic rockers and hauntingly moody ballads that will evoke the spirit.
Helping him tap into his methodology and madness is Paul Taylor of Winger fame. They magically and successfully marry it without sacrificing the main objective - making great music! Joining the fold are Ray Luzier [drums], Chris Collier [bass], Jacob Bunton [vocals], and Brion Gamboa [vocals] (who contributed lead vocals to two songs). Together, they are shaking the foundation of their metal roots and breaking all the rules to exceed expectations on these eleven songs.
The Other Side of Mars showcases Mick's ability to hit you in the face with straight-ahead rockers like "Loyal to the Lie," "Broken on the Inside," and "Ain't Going Back," while providing some moody songs of desperation like "Killing Breed" then finishes you off with a celestial instrumental, "LA Nior." Mick continues to demonstrate that he still has something to prove with his playing and songwriting.
The Other Side of Mars can be ordered here: shop.mickmarsofficial.com. Available configurations include a 180G LP and CD, signed and unsigned.
It was an honor to interview one of my biggest musical and theatrical influences, Mick Mars, to discuss the musical experimentation that went into making this album, why he never recorded a solo album when he was in Motley Crue, being forward-thinking he has written four new songs for his next album, why the two songs with former Motley Crue singer John Corabi will never see the light of day, and how he plans to write his autobiography backward while on his death bed!

If you didn't know who Mick was and saw him play you would shit your pants. The most underrated guitar player ever.
Been a Crue fan for years but Mick always seemed to be the quieter one and I've never looked for interviews of him (if there are any). I'm really impressed listening to him now and how personable he is. And the album is great...so heavy!
Mick Mars Is A Living Legend 🎸🎸🎸
what i love about the album is micks guitar tone and the singer he has compliments it so fn good man!, lyrics,guitar, drums everything fits like a puzzle man!
Thank you Mick Mars for this new music!

Thank you. Great interview. I am really happy he is doing his own thing and using his creativity. I would love to see him tour with Winger.

I love the album.
Excellent interview! Mick Mars rules! ❤
Mick is the man!
Motley Crue forever!!!
NM one of my favorite guitarist
Man he needs to write a book
We love you Mick. You are the sound of Motley Crue man undeniably.
He is really looking old these days. Man is still one of the top guitarists in the world and he looks like a hunched over ghost.
And his gf is f'n hot😊
Very cool thank you 🙏 would you like to be a guest on my show Hangin with the Dreamer you have a very nice way of conducting interviews.

NEED A MICK AUTOBIOGRAPHY
YA FUÉ Y SERÁ AHORA JOHN 5 ES EL GUITARRISTA DE MOTLEY CRUE Y PUNTO..
NO ESTABA ENFERMO EL WN..
He looks awful😢
He was born in 1951. I hope to look as awful as him when I'm 73 and been a rock star most my life
@wilbur218 Well sir, to be fair Sammy Hagar was born in 1947 and looks considerably more healthy than Mick Mars. It's either genetics or lifestyle that may contribute to how we all age.
@@Cimmerian415 true. Mars is also still knocking out albums which is impressive
@@wilbur218 Agreed.
You do know he has a degenerative bone disease right...I mean he talks about AS in this interview.
The style or genre of music he chose to do for his new solo album is awful. Very disappointed.
is that Mick Mars or Larry King??
Corabi is great so whatever his animosity is, well just weird. lol.. Much love though
