This guy is a fucking legend. Amazing riff writer. Great rock guitarist. He is the real reason for Motley Crue's success and the other 3 assholes should be grateful to him. 
@@KylieOlsson When is your hot self gonna come and see my guitar collection? I might have an engagement ring for you, hiding in my guitar collection of 2 guitars.
He's actually smiling when talking about his collections like a father proudly talking about his kids. A side of Mick Mars that we rarely see. Thank you for the video.
Mick was the only great muscian in The Crue and did not have a circus around him like Tommy or Vince. you can see the love for his guitars for me without him they would not have been anything special, his music writing is very underated as a lifelong Crue fan i think what the band has done trying to not pay him royalties is disgusting, to me the only good man in the band and as a muscian the only Crue band member i would be honored to meet!
@@JoaoJPSingerSongwriter83933 true for their recent performances, but you can’t say Tommy doesn’t have good chops, and vince really was a tight singer in his prime. Nikki’s writing is one of a kind too. There’s many reasons the band became so big.
I remember my friend bought TOO FAST FOR LOVE because of the album cover. Saw them a few times in the 80s. I would talk to Mick as a guitarist and i’d love to jam on his guitars.
@willymaykit1482 Please provide a link to a recording of your amazing riffs, since you are obviously a better guitar player than Mick Mars. Or are you just an angry Internet troll still living with his mom, as I suspect.
So much respect for this guy and how he managed to keep touring despite his health problems. He is a great talent and I can only imagine how tough it has been for him all these years.
I suffer from same issues with my spine. Live in pain 24/7 365. I won’t give up. Partially for my family but also because I really love life I do it’s hard on me every day today is really hard tomorrow I have another surgery I trashed all my guitars and 2017 or 18 because that was my passion and I could not play anymore. I could not stand up and play I could not sit down and play it hurt, no matter how I was positioned and I primarily live in a bed but last year when I saw it doing that stadium tour it blew my mind. I mean there are nights that I’ll play for an hour hour and a half but I might not be able to get out of bed for another week afterwards so I can imagine doing what he did for his fans only to have the band that he created with three other guys but nonetheless, he was a driving force And they screwed him over. I have no respect for Nikki Sixx. Tommy Lee, or Vince Neil and I never will again, nor will I listen to their music. And it’s all because of the way they treated me I’ve been extremely disappointed and I don’t want to hear them say it’s a business move F that. I’ve been screwed over in business still as well, and when it hurts to fight because it hurts to get out of van people know that they can abuse you. More than I’d like to think about it especially being that I’ve lost years of my life I struggle with my on a daily on an hourly basis I wish the best for Mick. He’s the reason I liked this band anyways.
@@juniorthe3rdjuniorthe3rd Totally agree with your position and I feel bad for you. But maybe you should rethink your stance on listening to their music because of the way they treated Mick. You should continue to listen because Mick was an essential part of their music and rejecting the music would also be rejecting Mick's work as well.
He just seem's so Happy to share his home and collection and storie's with someone..Thanks for letting us into your home and sharing your collection with us..Love you Mick !!!
Man it is so good to see Mick, talk about his love of his guitars, and his quest for tone. We know he's having health challenges, so keep a rockin' Mick!
exactly, it was his concept, he knew what he heard in his head, he found the kids that make that happen, but they were wastes, they've (Sixx and Tommy) been faking their performances for a long time, they've been bagged on video, he hasn't, porky ought to start faking, he can't sing anymore period
Well Nikki and Mick are the soul of that band but still without Vince and Tommy it would not been the same. They all are needed and were part of the magic.
@oggamer735 they can do without Vince. He's a horrible singer. Lets face it. He never was a good singer like David Lee Roth. The problem is like David Lee Roth they have these larger than life personalities that fans like more than and care about than the actual ability for the singer to sing. Lol.
Heck yeah!!...the guitar sound on Wildside, Save our Souls, Louder than Hell, Shout at the Devil and several others...just absolute rock-n-roll perfection.
Great thing about the internet, social media, etc. is it's kept great and undersung musicians like him in the spotlight. In the big network broadcast/cable days he would have never gotten exposure like this after the 80s heyday.
Hear hear. Never actually heard him talk before… what a small guy… affectionately.. he’s not larger than life..he seemed way more informative than I expected… glad I saw this. Mick is is pretty amazing… dig it. 😊
No words can describe how much true Crue fans feel about Mick. He is the true soul of the band. guitarists can come a dime a dozen but very few have the impact of this mans axe skills. From the horror-esque look of micks early stage look to his scorching solos like on Dr. feelgood, we love u Mick!
I love how Mick is still into the magic of music and knows exactly what each of his guitars sound like. He's not a rock star per se, but he is much more important than the other three band members who would be nowhere without Mick. He has managed to stay humble and out of the spotlight.
Love that Mick is just being Mick and not some "character" that was projected to all the fans during his Motley days. Intellectual, well spoken, and wise. On top of it he never seems awkward or trying to be something he is not during this whole clip. Thanks for this Mick Mars!
What a lovely guy Mick is. His monster riffs, tone and writing made Crue what it is…..I feel he doesn’t get enough credit and praise. What a warrior too carrying that debilitating condition he has for so long. Legend
So cool to see Mick talking about his guitars. I just realized he’s the only member of Motley that didn’t have a bunch of public drama. Yes,I know he’s been dealt with the spine thing and recent bullshit with the rest of the band. Micks a good guy.
No drama. We only know about one of his exes, simply because she toured with him. But none of the drama. Seraina is here for the most authentic period in Mick's life. She has been here for the man he is, not the star he is. I'm so happy he has her in his corner for the lawsuit. Lady hasn't spouted any drama.
Arguably the most underrated guitarist of all time!!! He carried that band forever!!! Vince, Tommy, and Nikki. Every time you realize how blessed you are, understand this old crippled up man got you there. GOD BLESS MICK MARS!!!!
We love you, Mick, pray for you every day, brother. Thank you for holding it together for us. Thank you for passing the torch to the new guy. And I’m glad you got what you deserved monetarily from the band. You are Mötley Crüe, it’s always gonna be that way brother.
Someone made a statement once that "Mick was 70's guitar player in an 80's glam rock band." This really gave them a unique sound IMHO. Mick is a legend.
@@KylieOlssonKylie I’ve been a MC fan since day one in 81. I’ve seen them 26 times in the USA and 6 concerts outside of the USA. Can you do a small video on how your day went with MM and what all do you do and what you have for lunch or dinner anything you want to share….. please
@@KylieOlsson If you see him again, congrats on the favorible court desision, and thx for carrying those loosers all those yrs..... are in order, MC/VH and others were the soundtrack to my youth growin up in the 80s
Mick seems like such a good guy, with all of his medical problems, he still endures and manages to be gracious. I think MC couldn't have made it without him and it's sad how those j-offs are treating him. I saw MC live during the Theatre of Pain tour. Super grateful that I got to see Mick in his heyday and what a show, let me tell you. This man is legend.
He’s a trooper; coping with illness through all these years and still playing and Recording. And so passionate about music. Nikki, Tommy and Vince didn’t treat him well
He's not seen as a virtuoso but I believe he is respected as an accomplished and even legendary rock guitarist. He is definitely more respected than his colleagues.
Mick is the dude! All the riffs that carry the Crue, he was the whole base of everything they did, all the parts that hook you, thats Mars. With heart, thank you bro.
When you think of Motleys biggest hits ..it all starts with Mick Mars iconic riffs. Bought my first Kramer as a teen when I saw the Theater of Pain guitar. His influence as a guitarist is immeasurable. Wonderful interview…you’ve earned a sub!
You hit the nail on the head - Mick’s influence as a guitarist is, indeed, immeasurable because it does not exist. Mick Mars is synonymous with being a bad guitar player. To be honest, Too Fast is one of my favorite metal albums, snd Shout and Dr Feelgood are excellent. The riffs are good, great songwriting and damn good guitar licks finally in Feelgood. But the damage had been done by that fifth album. Micks reputation had already been stamped as a terrible guitar player and he’ll never shred that. No one except Motley Crue fanboys consider Mick a great guitar player. I mean NO ONE, especially guitar players. You want a guitarist who has influence and legendary status from the 80s? I can name 10 or 20 off the bat who are more influential. Heck, CC Deville and Oz Fox would run circles around Mick. BTW, where is the BC Rich Warlock in his collection??
@@DavidMartinez-gs7sb To say Mick is a bad player is a joke . Don Dokken who had Lynch obviously as his guitarist , has said Mick is a great guitar player . He would know . Mick also used to jam on stage with EVH , in their club days . Bob Daisley the guy who co-wrote with Randy Rhoads , for Ozzy's mega hits has said Mick is good guitarist . Enough said .
@@SJ-ty5rwI’ve never heard George Lynch say that Mick Mars is a great guitar player, and I’ve read and heard many of his interviews. In fact, I have never heard any guitar player describe Mars in that manner or even mention his name, unless the conversation was specifically about Motley Crue or Mars in particular. What you fail to grasp is common sense. People throw the term great often as a slap on the back or a term of endearment rather than actually meaning that the person has accomplished something GREAT. I could come up with a million scenarios where that may occur but that would be a waste of time. Even if George Lynch actually said it, and even IF GL actually meant it (not likely at all) doesn’t mean that it’s true or anything unless he explained WHY. Also, what difference does it make IF Mars shared the stage EVH at any single time? Any musician would tell you that sharing a stage with anyone doesn’t make you that person’s equal. It doesn’t mean anything. Me playing basketball on the same court as Lebron doesn’t mean shit. Even if he picked me for his team in a pick up game…. doesn’t make me a great basketball player. Go enjoy Mars masterful, incredibly technical and innovative guitar playing with George lynch.
Mick is such a beautiful soul! It's so unfair that he's had to deal w/ this debilitating disease for so many years. He certainly hasn't let it get him down! Rock on Mick & congrats on winning the court case against MC!!💋 🎸🤘👅🔥
How can people not love Mick ? Such a cool guy. Thousands of people love him !!!Very likeable. Love that guitar collection he has too !!! Thanks for such a great interview and seeing his collection Kylie !!! That was fab !!! Cheers !!!
i know... I totally fell in love with him - he is the sweetest, funiest and kindest guy i've ever met. Him and his wife are so cute and I think its so lovely to see all the comments on here appreciating what a true legend he is and how important he was to creating that Motley sound.
Mick Mars is a rhythm machine. I recall an interview with Bob Rock or Tom Werman mentioning Mick being ultra precise while doubling guitar rhythms. One can hear it on all their analog-recorded albums.
Absolutely ! And just listen to the recording of the guitar track on the last ever tour, it's perfectely played !! The others instruments + voice are studios recordings....
Awesome video of Mick's guitar collection. I remember seeing Mick on stage in his concert with Motley Crue in Vancouver BC Canada....it was a wicked concert...loud as hell... and Alice Cooper was the opening band for them that night. Thanks for the great music Mick.
Being a huge Motley Crue fan since the 1980s, I'm always interested in their guitar player regardless of the crap that has happened during the past year. This guy is vastly underrated and what he has overcome to play the guitar, not many others would. Can't wait for his solo album in about a month. Pre-ordered it right away! 🙂
As a person who suffers greatly from pain it is obvious to me that Mick is battling with pain during this video he longs to rest against the chair or sit on the couch but he wishes to share with people his favourite guitar 🎸 collection a very courageous man ❤😊xxxx🙂
It is impossible to fathom how much heavy music that man has given us. He is light years so much more brilliant and talented than what he gives himself credit for. God I wish I could play like him. Can you post the whole video on here though?
AS is brutal on the body and much respect 🫡 for Mick to keep playing and touring for as long as he did. I got to see him play in 1984 opening for Ozzy and it was a life changing event for me. Stay well , Mick
Mick, is a true artist. Insanely gifted. Criminally overlooked at times. And has great taste to boot! Jeff Beck was right on about the Strat feeling more like an extension of the body vs. The way a Les Paul feels. I love my Les Paul’s, and I LOVE my telecasters. But there’s just something very very special about the right Stratocaster. I suppose there’s good reason it’s one of the most popular guitars in the history of blues, rock, punk, gosh you name it! Also helps that they’re generally quite light. And nearly indestructible 😄. I think it’s important to have at least one of each if you’re a session guitarist or a producer. A decent hollow body (with p-90’s! So good!), a decent solid body, something with a tremolo, a good tele, and a GREAT strat. Loved the video, thanks for interviewing Mick! Would love to see more people pick his brain. Take care!
Thank you for sharing this. That’s the most I’ve ever heard Mick Mars speak. I’m not sure he even realizes just how legendary he is. What a humble soul
Thank you Mike and nice to hear you say that as some of the comments on here have complained about how much I spoke but as you pointed out, Mick is a man of very few words. Such a beautiful soul and so unaware of his immense talent.
Freakin Awesome. Micks Riffs and song writing is Legendary, Would not have been Motley without Him.I am 54 and play lead in my Band,when I was a teen Motley was Huge,It was ALL MIcks Riffs and Playing that made it, Thank you so much for doing this.
Amazing interview Kylie, absolutely loved it. Mick is so mysterious and doesn't give interviews easily. He doesn't talk to just anyone, let alone relax around them. He seemed very comfortable in your presence. So that says a lot about your personality and interview style. You should be proud of yourself. Thanks for this. He is a living legend. Love your new music Mick. Can't wait to hear the full album. And thanks for keeping the flame burning.
Thank you for sending this Andrew and for realising exactly that as you are right, he doesn't give interviews easily and I had a lot of elements against me... shame not all the comments on here realise that! He is a very sweet guy and this is just a snippet of what we talked about.... Kylie x
I’m glad mick is still with us I remember watching a motley crew doc in the early 2000’s speaking about how he might not be with us by this time due to his medical condition (ankylosing spondylitis) Dude seems like a genuinely cool guy
Mick is such a humble, brave and incredibly strong man. Struggling for so many years with ankylosing spondylitis, such a painful and agonizing disease. God bless you Mick🌹🤘🤙
What a powerhouse of talent. Hands down, one of the giants of the 80’s Hard Rock movement. His new record will show all of us, yet again, that MM is a dynamic and innovative Musician, that continues his music Evolution. Cheers to you Mars.
What an awesome interview with a great guitarist. I’m so glad he’s still aware of what he has and I’m glad that that woman knew what he was talking about. Absolute great interview hands-down she knew her guitars, and everything that goes with it! WOW
He seems so genuine and real. Like someone you could have a beer with, visit, be entertained and , lean some stuff. Definitely the “Father of The Band/Team Dad” and a living legend. Would love to meet him.
Love Mick Mars. I was lucky enough to be front row directly below him in a London concert Motley did, and was I mesmerised. Goose bumps the whole set and my favourite guitarist of all time. Proper legend.
Mick Mars and Brad Gillis are my two biggest inspiration's and the reason I picked up my first guitar in 1982 at age 12 and have still never put it down.. Mick is definitely in a class of his own..🎸
This man is a legend. i never took him seriously because of the band he played for. but then i got old...and i realized how creative he was. i also came to realize Micks hooks were the driving force of motley crues success. without his hooks idk how far they go. after interviews like this i appreciate Mick even more. hes a humble, good natured man. im a huge fan of his now. thanks mick :)
This guy is just the coolest. What else can you say. The riffs he has created is unbelievable. If I could meet one of my stars it would be mick. Looks that kill I would think is my favorite.
So cool to see the top musicians become young teenagers again when surrounded by their guitars :) I too could spend all day in that room, what a great collection Mick has. The finish on that 60 Les Paul is gorgeous!
@@KylieOlssonfunny the guitars name was izabelle same as me! I’ve been playing guitar since I was a kid, my dad played and so I had acess to the equipment at least, even though I wasn’t supposed to touch my dads strat! Ha~ eventually he got me my own first guitar.. but I was inspired because it was the early 90s and I was a teen, and I wanted to be like hole and babes in toy land and L7 etc.. so anyway I did end up playing in an all girl hardcore punk band here in Canada for almost 10 years, so I’m proud of myself for accomplishing that.. I’m saying all this to tell you if you are learning just keep at it, your fingers will get callouses and peel, my nails used to get pulled and I’d get these white indents under my nails ugh! And learning to stand and play vs sitting on your bed haha, ahh those were the days ❤
This guy is a fucking legend. Amazing riff writer. Great rock guitarist. He is the real reason for Motley Crue's success and the other 3 assholes should be grateful to him.

2:00 And as a proud father he mentions his son who happens to be a great guitar builder.

Mick seems like such a good guy, with all of his medical problems, he still endures and manages to be gracious. I think MC couldn't have made it without him and it's sad how those j-offs are treating him. I saw MC live during the Theatre of Pain tour. Super grateful that I got to see Mick in his heyday and what a show, let me tell you. This man is legend.
Great to see Mick. Hope they do a full documentary with him.. such a talent!
Mick is a treat to hear exuding his passion for guitars. He will always be the heart and soul of the Crue.
He’s a trooper; coping with illness through all these years and still playing and Recording. And so passionate about music. Nikki, Tommy and Vince didn’t treat him well
Nikki Sixx saved Mick Mars life don't forget when nobody else cared but yes they need Mick Mars
esp nikki because "it was his creation" mick came up w?the name the logo the riffs and all those plantimum gold albums not them or nikki
Mick is a criminally underrated player
Very true
He's not underrated at all.
He's very well rated & respected.
He's not seen as a virtuoso but I believe he is respected as an accomplished and even legendary rock guitarist. He is definitely more respected than his colleagues.
Such a great musician. He alwyas brought a great bluesy feel to the Crue’s music. Nothing but respect for the living legend himself.
Mick was the sound of Motley. That guitar sound🎉 Solo in Home sweet home' will go down as one the most beautiful solo. Thank legend❤
Mick Mars is by far the most interesting of the four original members. He was in it for the music and the guitars and the performance.
How well does Mick come across here? Happy, humble and really knowledgeable.
Mick is the dude!
All the riffs that carry the Crue, he was the whole base of everything they did, all the parts that hook you, thats Mars.
With heart, thank you bro.
Mick's solo album is awesome. love it. Crue aint Crue without Mick.
Huge fan of Mick Mars love his guitar style
When you think of Motleys biggest hits ..it all starts with Mick Mars iconic riffs. Bought my first Kramer as a teen when I saw the Theater of Pain guitar. His influence as a guitarist is immeasurable. Wonderful interview…you’ve earned a sub!
You hit the nail on the head - Mick’s influence as a guitarist is, indeed, immeasurable because it does not exist. Mick Mars is synonymous with being a bad guitar player. To be honest, Too Fast is one of my favorite metal albums, snd Shout and Dr Feelgood are excellent. The riffs are good, great songwriting and damn good guitar licks finally in Feelgood. But the damage had been done by that fifth album. Micks reputation had already been stamped as a terrible guitar player and he’ll never shred that. No one except Motley Crue fanboys consider Mick a great guitar player. I mean NO ONE, especially guitar players. You want a guitarist who has influence and legendary status from the 80s? I can name 10 or 20 off the bat who are more influential. Heck, CC Deville and Oz Fox would run circles around Mick. BTW, where is the BC Rich Warlock in his collection??
What a great studio. Everything you need and nothing you don't.
You damned straight! They can't take it from him either! As far as I'm concerned him and Tommy were the total sound for Motley.
@@DavidMartinez-gs7sb To say Mick is a bad player is a joke . Don Dokken who had Lynch obviously as his guitarist , has said Mick is a great guitar player . He would know . Mick also used to jam on stage with EVH , in their club days . Bob Daisley the guy who co-wrote with Randy Rhoads , for Ozzy's mega hits has said Mick is good guitarist . Enough said .
@@SJ-ty5rwI’ve never heard George Lynch say that Mick Mars is a great guitar player, and I’ve read and heard many of his interviews. In fact, I have never heard any guitar player describe Mars in that manner or even mention his name, unless the conversation was specifically about Motley Crue or Mars in particular. What you fail to grasp is common sense. People throw the term great often as a slap on the back or a term of endearment rather than actually meaning that the person has accomplished something GREAT. I could come up with a million scenarios where that may occur but that would be a waste of time. Even if George Lynch actually said it, and even IF GL actually meant it (not likely at all) doesn’t mean that it’s true or anything unless he explained WHY. Also, what difference does it make IF Mars shared the stage EVH at any single time? Any musician would tell you that sharing a stage with anyone doesn’t make you that person’s equal. It doesn’t mean anything. Me playing basketball on the same court as Lebron doesn’t mean shit. Even if he picked me for his team in a pick up game…. doesn’t make me a great basketball player. Go enjoy Mars masterful, incredibly technical and innovative guitar playing with George lynch.
Mick is such a beautiful soul! It's so unfair that he's had to deal w/ this debilitating disease for so many years. He certainly hasn't let it get him down! Rock on Mick & congrats on winning the court case against MC!!💋 🎸🤘👅🔥
I've got r.a. so I can relate
How can people not love Mick ? Such a cool guy. Thousands of people love him !!!Very likeable. Love that guitar collection he has too !!!
Thanks for such a great interview and seeing his collection Kylie !!! That was fab !!!
Cheers !!!
i know... I totally fell in love with him - he is the sweetest, funiest and kindest guy i've ever met. Him and his wife are so cute and I think its so lovely to see all the comments on here appreciating what a true legend he is and how important he was to creating that Motley sound.
I love this. This is so cute / sweet. What a beautiful collection! Mick Mars is a great rock guitarist.
The way he’s talking to her reminds me of my grandfather, so sweet and happy to show off something he loves.
it really felt like that in the interview... he is a very lovely and kind guy
Mick Mars is a rhythm machine. I recall an interview with Bob Rock or Tom Werman mentioning Mick being ultra precise while doubling guitar rhythms. One can hear it on all their analog-recorded albums.
Absolutely ! And just listen to the recording of the guitar track on the last ever tour, it's perfectely played !! The others instruments + voice are studios recordings....
@@stefmathaxl Mick is awesome. I agree with that. But don’t make me laugh. You people are so eager to eat s*** online
@@caprise-music6722 Yeah...Vince's horrible vocals might as well have been studio recordings.🤣
If I was a band mate of micks I'd rally as much as I could to help him in anyway I could . ❤ Much love for that man
Please take care of yourself Mick your very much loved, God bless you
and thank you for all the riffs.
God bless you. Jesus saves!
Awesome video of Mick's guitar collection. I remember seeing Mick on stage in his concert with Motley Crue in Vancouver BC Canada....it was a wicked concert...loud as hell... and Alice Cooper was the opening band for them that night. Thanks for the great music Mick.
So nice to see Mick smiling & showing his guitars,with a bit of history on each..Total legend!! I sure miss seeing him on stage!!
How adorable is Mick! Must of been amazing to interview him. What a beautiful super talented soul 🖤🤘🏻
Being a huge Motley Crue fan since the 1980s, I'm always interested in their guitar player regardless of the crap that has happened during the past year. This guy is vastly underrated and what he has overcome to play the guitar, not many others would. Can't wait for his solo album in about a month. Pre-ordered it right away! 🙂
This warms my heart
mine too as he is just the sweetest.
Much respect for Mick. My early 80's was all about trying to learn his songs....... My Favorite "Too young to fall in love"
Mick seems like everyones favorite uncle with a ton of really cool stories
Mick always plays in his means. Just the right amount, never overplaying. LEGEND 🤘
Thanks Mick! You. Are. Rock and Roll!!
I've been rocking to your riffs for 42 years man!!!!!
Red Hot!
As a person who suffers greatly from pain it is obvious to me that Mick is battling with pain during this video he longs to rest against the chair or sit on the couch but he wishes to share with people his favourite guitar 🎸 collection a very courageous man ❤😊xxxx🙂
The man that combines the right guitar with the right music, but was in the wrong band..... for me he is golden! 🎯
@@paultruesdale7680 🤔🤪
It is impossible to fathom how much heavy music that man has given us. He is light years so much more brilliant and talented than what he gives himself credit for. God I wish I could play like him. Can you post the whole video on here though?
I wish I could... Its airing in the US right now and am talking to broadcasters in the UK at the moment ... I might know a bit more in a few weeks
heavy? lol
AS is brutal on the body and much respect 🫡 for Mick to keep playing and touring for as long as he did. I got to see him play in 1984 opening for Ozzy and it was a life changing event for me. Stay well , Mick
Whoah, that tour was legendary. Pivotal to the story of the band. So good it changed your life, the vibes were charged!
Mick, is a true artist. Insanely gifted. Criminally overlooked at times. And has great taste to boot! Jeff Beck was right on about the Strat feeling more like an extension of the body vs. The way a Les Paul feels. I love my Les Paul’s, and I LOVE my telecasters. But there’s just something very very special about the right Stratocaster. I suppose there’s good reason it’s one of the most popular guitars in the history of blues, rock, punk, gosh you name it! Also helps that they’re generally quite light. And nearly indestructible 😄. I think it’s important to have at least one of each if you’re a session guitarist or a producer. A decent hollow body (with p-90’s! So good!), a decent solid body, something with a tremolo, a good tele, and a GREAT strat. Loved the video, thanks for interviewing Mick! Would love to see more people pick his brain. Take care!
Thank you for sharing this. That’s the most I’ve ever heard Mick Mars speak. I’m not sure he even realizes just how legendary he is. What a humble soul
Thank you Mike and nice to hear you say that as some of the comments on here have complained about how much I spoke but as you pointed out, Mick is a man of very few words. Such a beautiful soul and so unaware of his immense talent.
Freakin Awesome. Micks Riffs and song writing is Legendary, Would not have been Motley without Him.I am 54 and play lead in my Band,when I was a teen Motley was Huge,It was ALL MIcks Riffs and Playing that made it, Thank you so much for doing this.
thank you! And I totally agree, a killer player
You can really tell that he loves guitars and respects them as art pieces and tools for making art
Amazing interview Kylie, absolutely loved it. Mick is so mysterious and doesn't give interviews easily. He doesn't talk to just anyone, let alone relax around them. He seemed very comfortable in your presence. So that says a lot about your personality and interview style. You should be proud of yourself. Thanks for this. He is a living legend. Love your new music Mick. Can't wait to hear the full album. And thanks for keeping the flame burning.
Thank you for sending this Andrew and for realising exactly that as you are right, he doesn't give interviews easily and I had a lot of elements against me... shame not all the comments on here realise that! He is a very sweet guy and this is just a snippet of what we talked about.... Kylie x
I’m glad mick is still with us
I remember watching a motley crew doc in the early 2000’s speaking about how he might not be with us by this time due to his medical condition (ankylosing spondylitis)
Dude seems like a genuinely cool guy
me too and he really is one of the coolest guys I've met, I love him! Kylie
Mick is such a humble, brave and incredibly strong man. Struggling for so many years with ankylosing spondylitis, such a painful and agonizing disease. God bless you Mick🌹🤘🤙
What a powerhouse of talent. Hands down, one of the giants of the 80’s Hard Rock movement. His new record will show all of us, yet again, that MM is a dynamic and innovative Musician, that continues his music Evolution. Cheers to you Mars.
YOU ROCK MICK , THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC YOU CREATED 🎸 AND STILL ARE 👍
It's simple .... Mick's a total inspiration to all Guitar player's out there !!❤😊. Very Humble Man🎸🙏
What an awesome interview with a great guitarist. I’m so glad he’s still aware of what he has and I’m glad that that woman knew what he was talking about. Absolute great interview hands-down she knew her guitars, and everything that goes with it! WOW
He seems so genuine and real. Like someone you could have a beer with, visit, be entertained and , lean some stuff. Definitely the “Father of The Band/Team Dad” and a living legend. Would love to meet him.
Love Mick Mars. I was lucky enough to be front row directly below him in a London concert Motley did, and was I mesmerised. Goose bumps the whole set and my favourite guitarist of all time. Proper legend.
Mick is so underrated. He wrote alot of great riffs
Mick is the best he has been a hero to me since I was 15 years old. In 41 now still love the dude.
Mick Mars and Brad Gillis are my two biggest inspiration's and the reason I picked up my first guitar in 1982 at age 12 and have still never put it down.. Mick is definitely in a class of his own..🎸
Great interview with a great guy. Kylie you are really doing some impressive interviews. Congratulations on your work and success. 👍🎸😎✌️
Thank you so much, that is really lovely to hear! x
This man is a legend. i never took him seriously because of the band he played for. but then i got old...and i realized how creative he was. i also came to realize Micks hooks were the driving force of motley crues success. without his hooks idk how far they go.
after interviews like this i appreciate Mick even more. hes a humble, good natured man. im a huge fan of his now. thanks mick :)
This guy is just the coolest. What else can you say. The riffs he has created is unbelievable. If I could meet one of my stars it would be mick. Looks that kill I would think is my favorite.
So cool to see the top musicians become young teenagers again when surrounded by their guitars :) I too could spend all day in that room, what a great collection Mick has. The finish on that 60 Les Paul is gorgeous!
Another thing I love is that Mick lets her hold the guitars and get a good look, a lot of musicians wouldn’t let you within 10 ft of them!
he is a great guy... as a new 'player' he was very sweet to help light my fire as far as the guitar is concerned.
@@KylieOlssonfunny the guitars name was izabelle same as me! I’ve been playing guitar since I was a kid, my dad played and so I had acess to the equipment at least, even though I wasn’t supposed to touch my dads strat! Ha~ eventually he got me my own first guitar.. but I was inspired because it was the early 90s and I was a teen, and I wanted to be like hole and babes in toy land and L7 etc.. so anyway I did end up playing in an all girl hardcore punk band here in Canada for almost 10 years, so I’m proud of myself for accomplishing that.. I’m saying all this to tell you if you are learning just keep at it, your fingers will get callouses and peel, my nails used to get pulled and I’d get these white indents under my nails ugh! And learning to stand and play vs sitting on your bed haha, ahh those were the days ❤
Great interview! Mick, keep on truck'n. You're an inspiration for many.
Sweet and talented, Mars!!. He really knows his job. I love his tone, his legendary riffs and solos. Send you a hug, Man!!. I am your big fan.
So cool that Mick did this. I love his studio setup too. Such a good player and rather underrated as well the last 40 years.
a living legend. I'm still remember the unforgettable riffs in looks that kill... long life to mick, his legacy of music will last forever...
