Guitarist Mick Mars, who retired from Mötley Crüe last October due to health issues, will release his debut solo single on Halloween (October 31 at midnight EST) and BraveWords sat down with him on Streaming For Vengeance to discuss his new music, the recently-released 40th anniversary Shout At The Devil box, the Sunset Strip and how they skyrocketed to fame by just sounding different from every other band in Los Angeles. And despite the fact that he's in legal battles with the other members of Mötley Crüe (Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil), he actually owned the name Mötley Crüe first.
When asked about trying to launch a band during the Sunset Strip heyday of the early ‘80s in Los Angeles he says: “That’s kind of an easy question for me. All those other bands, didn’t impress me. They’re all playing the same thing … the same kind of this, the same kind of that. And I was thinking, ‘let’s just sound like me.’ I wasn’t going to share the name until I thought the people that I wanted to work with were the right people. Luckily, I got lucky with the right people. With all those guys. And we took off like a bat out of hell. We did. It didn’t take long. Because we sounded so different. The way that I tuned my guitar and what I use to make my tones and stuff. Tone is the biggest part for me. I played slower, whatever the heck but it was always tone. Did I want to be a shredder? Not really. I wanted to have people humming my solos when they leave a show. And remembering them. So it was the sound of the band. And it was nothing that people had heard on the Sunset Strip. Then it became not the British invasion, but the LA invasion.”
BraveWords Streaming For Vengeance chat with Mick Mars will air tommorrow morning at 9AM EST on the BraveWords Facebook page and on BraveWords Radio which can be heard on the CMS Network APP.

No ego, no headlines, no BS. Just an awesome guitar player and composer. Mick Mars you're the shit dude. 🤘😔
if only the rest of the band was this honest, with themselves. Mick, you are a class act.
So glad we get more Mick Mars!
Finally Mick Mars' first single shows to the world that he is not only a guitar legend but also a great composer
and the only real talent motley crue ever had
Paul Taylor from Winger wrote most of the album
@@mottosierra1372 Tommy Lee doesn't have talent?
Mick is being a traitor to motley Crüe , he should have got permission from Nixki Sixx
@@zachary_attackeryhow do you know this
Mick Mars is the man. Dr. Feelgood was one of the first three cassettes I bought with my own money when I was 12.
Mick Mars=Class Act!! Down to earth and real. It’s all about the music. This man is genuine as they have ever been made!! So cool to see an interview into the mind of this incredible musician!!🤘🏻
It would be awesome to see Mick do a 10 day out of the year kind of deal. That situations would make his shows special and loyal fans would appreciate seeing him live because of the limited times.
I'm so glad Mick Mars is doing his own thing.🇺🇲👍 That's Awesome.!
Mick is doing his thing this is awesome!
Mick’s going to release his debut solo album early next year and now he’s saying early in the interview that he’s working on a second solo album?! I couldn’t be happier! Gotta love Mick!🤘🏻
Absolutely 10000%
Great interview, thank you for it!
One thing struck me, he doesn't like his looks? He is such an amazingly beautiful man, he looks great, no reason to be ashamed!
Mick is just a real simple guy cause the real rockstars are regular guys Mick is just badass best guitarplayer and composer ever 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️❤️❤️
I realize it's hard for Mick to do a tour with his condition, but I would totally love to see him do a live concert and record it for us to buy. That would satisfy my Live experience. Much respect Mick.
@BraveWords Thank you for this interview Great To see Mick Mars Again #Cheers
I'll support anything Mick does he's a killer blues rock guitarist and writes some really memorable songs and riffs.
I love Mick and can’t wait to hear the whole album. Great interview
It is good to see Mick Mars making new music and doing a great interview. ROCK ON Mick Mars. Thanks for the new music and interview.
I was 12 years old in 1983 when Shout at the Devil came out. I saw the album in a record store with my dad and he bought it for me. I was blown away sitting in the living room blaring it on my dad's stereo. I lived, breathed, and existed everything Motley Crue to this day at 52 years old. I feel like you are a brother Mick. Keep being bad ass!
Same here man but my grandma got me the cassette lol
My buddy Dan Spitz from Anthrax always said he loves Mick Mars, his feel and tone is the best in the business. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a full interview with Mick… Awesome!
The more I find out about Mr Mick Mars the more I adore him as a musician and songwriter.
Mick is my hero. I have been a fan since 15. I'm now 40 and have been playing since then too. I have seen him live 6 times. I can't for this album.
Mick I heard your song loyal lies!!! It blows crue right outta the water honestly. It's hard edged right in your face!!! I love it❤❤
My favorite guitar player, killer new song! Great mars riff. Mick is awsome, I got to meet him many years ago and he was very cool, humble, just a real guy. I cant say the same for the others.
U said it all agree 1000%
I wish I could personally thank Mick for his kick ass efforts over the years and glad he is still killing it. True talent.
sounds like he's really blossoming creatively now that he's free of MC. how awesome is that??? i'm so happy for him.
Guitar Legend. Thank you MM 🤘🏻🇺🇸🎸🔥
THANK YOU FOR THIS INTERVIEW!!!!!!!! MICK's NEW SINGLE IS EPIC!!! #TeamMick
Mick is the reason I picked up the guitar. So happy that he is back in front showing off his immense talent! Go Mick!
Fantastic interview. Mick Mars! ❤
This man has been one of my top two childhood heroes on guitar. Ace Frehley being the other. So good to see Mick’s music finally coming out, been seriously waiting on this for a long time! Awesome interview, thank you 🙏
Ace and Mick are my two as well.
@@goobiecaro8135Well then, this requires a virtual fist bump 👊 😂
My brother from another mother! I feel the same as a kid growing up in the late 60s early 70s! Ace was the man and yes Mick and the Crue were my thang in the 80s! I was on the strip in those glory days!! What a great time to be alive in LA and a late teen, young adult..
The 4h fair where he seen Skeeter Bonn was in Huntington indiana. My mom micks aunt Annie then bought mick his first guitar and was the one that pushed him to chase his dream. Thanks to mick I got to meet a lot famous bands and people. He's inspired me so much pushing through the pain. I owe him a million thank yous. Congratulations on your new album Mick
I would drive anywhere anytime to see my idol on stage! I adore you Mick. Have my whole life.
I am so happy for Mick that he is doing well as he can do. I like that the important thing he is free from the sinking ship MC now and have the opportunity to create what he wants. It is a joy to listen to micks thoughts, insights and reflections...he is a great hero to me and a man of honest respect, gratitude for what he created and creates. You rock MIck 🤘🤘
Thank you so much for posting this. The first NEW interview with Mick where we can see him talk about the album
its good to hear micks voice, what a legend !!!
Mick, such a class act. I remember the first time I saw Motley opening for Kiss on Creatures tour, and Motley blew Kiss off the stage, in large part due to Mick's amazing playing and attitude. Stay classy, stay awesome Mick.
Thankyou mick for doin this..we love it!!
Love Mick. His solo just shows everyone that he's not what Nikki says. Mick is awesome ❤❤❤❤
Awesome interview. Mick is so laid back!
Mick is the greatest!! Bless him always.😊🤘😎
YES! Mick Mars!! Thank you for doing this!! #TeamMick
The new single is amazing! Super heavy and the video is cool as hell. Mick was always a huge influence to me as a guitarist and so glad to hear new music. Can't wait for the rest of the album!
Mick doing it his way and with balls!❤
Amazing Mick, keep them coming 👏🏻 🖤
Awesome, finally getting a Mick solo project!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
MICK!! You are one of my most favorite people in the world. I'm thrilled to see/hear you doing interviews for your album. Had a smile on my face throughout this interview....but I wanted to step into BraveWords' booth and take over the questions! I have many great questions to ask you about your music, creative process, specific songs, the progression of your career (going back to Pre-Motley). Adding to your list of songs w/riffs you are (should be!) proud of, gotta have "Primal Scream", "City Boy Blues", and "The Dirt". Please do some small club shows. Stand, sit, lay down or whatever is fine....get comfortable and just play! I'll be there!!
Motley did him dirty.
We Love you Mick ,been a fan since the early 80’s
Just a great 'Riff Meister' and no doubt he is a more than capable Lead guitarist! No Rockstar nonsense or boasting here ,he seems a regular and humble lad! I wish Mick the Best with his health and new albums which I'm very impressed with!
You're great Mick ❤❤❤❤❤
You are loved by me , I'm cra,zy about your voice Mick. Thank you for being so amazing.!!
Yo Mick, You have my full support. So glad you have the opportunity to do this. Behind what was Motley Crue is so much that couldn't get out. This is a golden opportunity for you and I am proud of your personal victory over so many obstacles, and especially your pain. Awesome man. Much love and respect.
P.S. Hope you are still taking to Oz Fox. You two would make a bad ass collaboration. Peace brother. 🤟🎭

great interview!
Mick has had quite the journey. Through it all, his playing has always had a certain tone and sound to it. It’s highly addictive to the ears! He is truly a gifted musician with a style all his own. So stoked about this album! Go Mick go!!!
RE: Riffs that Mick is most proud of - "Sticky Sweet", absolutely. My favorite pre-Corabi riff is "Slice Of Your Pie". With Corabi... probably Uncle Jack.
This is a amazing interview with Mick Mars and the new song is amazing so excited for Mick Mars New Album always love Mick Mars
Can't Wait to hear the whole Album!!🤘🤘
Mick was crue. what they did to him ; is inexcusable. a great telent. 👍 🤘
Dam he is great never thought he was this talented with all due respect he is awesome

Dawm cant wait to hear it
Awesome to see you kicking ass Mick.
I love the solos he did in the Crashdiet and Hinder songs!!!
I love Mick Mars!
We love you Mick.
Motley was nothing without Mick. He's written some of the greatest metal riffs in history.
Been looking forward to his own album for a long time . Anxious to hear the rest .
Love you MICK MARS!!❤
Mick is the man!
Keep going Mick 🙌❤
Mick is a guitarist legend!!
Love Mick!!!! One of the best out there!!!
WE LOVE YOU MICK WERE FAMILY.... LOVE TO SEE YOU HOUSE OF BLUES
Nice to hear a casual, one on one with Mick and how he creates songs.
Mick is a very humble cool cat!!
待ちきれない✨
All My love ♥️🎸👽
Absolute Gem! God Bless you Sir.
SECOND RECORD...fuck yeah!
Mick is the Best.
Fantastic interview, Tim! 🤘
To whom it may give a fuck,
The first song and music aside, this and Trunk's interview is for this Cruehead of 39 years the epitome of the cover of Entertainment or Death (Theatre of Pain). I simultaneously shed a couple of tears while smiling. Mother Fucking Mick Mars is a true gentleman, humble, and just cut from a different cloth. His concern for others and his unnasuming disposition is a dark breath of fresh air. My relationship with The Crue's music since '84 has always made them feel like family to me. Often getting me through the darkest of times. However, this Cruehead stands with The Other Side of Mick Mars! I'm extremely disappointed with the Toxic Twins; T-Bone and Sixx really fucked up this time. I know it sounds strange but, it feels like a true betrayal of a broken family for me. That being said, I'm really looking forward to this album. Mick is truly avant-garde in his artistry and the heart of the band formally known as.....I'll never say their name again. Let's leave Planet Boom, fly right on by The Last Band on the Moon, and all meet up on The Other Side Of Mars.
Good comment
My heart sank for Mick when he said that he doesn't like the way he looks anymore. That's a major statement to make from the guy! I'm surprised that Mick didn't mention Rory Gallagher.
Freaking love you Mr Mars
That was great Tim. 🙏🤘
Can't wait to grab a Vinyl copy of this.
Major support 🤘🏻
Mick is an excellent guitar player! And without his riffs... Motley Crue wouldn't be what we know today! It's extremely unfortunate what Nikki did to Mick. Hard to believe that he's not with Motley anymore.
Mick should have done this years ago
AGREE !!
He’s been working on this album for years
We love you Mick!!!
Mick is such a mellow legend.
Dude u do NOT need your flag to let the world know that u are Canadian. You look Canadian and you definetly talk and sound like a Canadian. Good video. How lucky are u to be one of the first foreign countries to get an interview. Ive heart that he has also done Denmark and Poland too!
What's wrong with being proud to be Canadian. And why would you point that out as your #1 opinion about the interview. Much like Tim, I am a proud Canadian, and we like to tell people we're Canadian as much as we can because we are the best country in the world. And I really don't understand your comment, " You look Canadian and you definitely talk and sound like a Canadian"
I want to see Mick.....come one of those 10 days and do a show in Phoenix.
Mick EFIN Mars rules,
Good music
Good sign 🤘☠️🔥🪿
LOVE MICK MARS!! 1313
He’s so adorable 🥹❤️
Great interview
Rock ON 🖤
Mick glad to see your doing well Brother i just know your albums gonna be better than any motley record and i know your into the blues too so dawm cant hardly wait Brother
What’s really cool. Is just to hear him talk without having the reigns on him. My point is, he didn’t talk much in Motley.
I loved his and Slashs guitar.
