Mick Mars was so underrated and clearly under appreciated by his former band. I would argue without his guitar riffs and tone - Motley Crue would not be who they r today
Usually I'd agree 100%...I've been a fan of them for like 43 years. But John 5 is amazing and does FULL JUSTICE to all Mick Mars parts...he's just too damn good!!! So I'm actually super excited to see the new version of The Crüe but still very sad at how the whole Mick Mars situation went down.
@@Perro73how it “went down”???? Mick Mars has debilitating ankylosing spondylitis!!! The guy can’t stand straight anymore, much less stand on stage for 2 hours!!! No one’s fault. As soon as he heard it was John 5, he congratulated him publicly and wish him luck and fun on the tour.
What a phenomenal guitarist, I haven’t seen him live with crue but seen enough videos and I appreciate how he shows respect to Mick by playing his parts for the most part just like the records. Much respect to John.
John 5 is amazing......and his respect for Mars is evident....listening to these riffs, almost mostly the same, sounds like a fresh take. Mad respect to both John and Mick. I saw this same show at the Arcada theater in St. Charles IL, mind blowing show.....as most John 5 shows are.
I really hope that Mick Mars is flattered on how big of a fan that John 5 is and what an honor it is to have such a talented guitar player dedicated to replicating his songs!
What I will say is that, the only member worth their weight is Mick Mars. Tommy is ok Nicky Sixx - root note zombie Vince Neil - karaoke castaway at best
The way that John makes everything look so effortless is scary lol, it’s insane the way this guy looks like he’s using zero effort to do any of this 😂, such an underrated guitar player in rock music. He’s a beast
It’s a whole new experience hearing Mick’s riffs without Vince Neil’s sloppy live vocals on top of it. Mick is a great and very original but underrated guitar player. But John 5 plays Motley the way it should be played - with respect for the originals and Mick’s playing.
@@JeremyWest0405 In my humble opinion they WERE legendary until they began not playing their instruments.. backing tracks i dont really care many do it, but to not play a note? thats Fraud, and Vince is DONE.. yet he continues to accept the fans money.. Id like to think I wouldnt but thats a tough one, but then Id be a hack too.
@@wcreview8227 They use backing tracks for backing vocals and keyboard parts mostly, they are actually playing their instruments on stage. If Vince wasn't actually singing live, why would he sound so bad?
@@FrozenByFire No youre right i wasnt saying Vince wasnt singing , thats clear as its humiliating, no I said or at least I meant that Nikki and even Tommy were not even playing their instruments... Mick Mars said that Nikki did not Play ONE NOTE... Thats what I was referrinng to..
@@wcreview8227 That's what Mick Mars SAYS, but he's trying to defame them and sue them, so it's not like he's trustworthy on this. The only "proof" people have of Tommy not playing, is there is a high hat count in on a song live that he wasn't playing, but that is most likely just part of the backing track. Do you really think Tommy Lee would go on stage and not even play his drums? Come on. And Nikki's bass lines are super simple, as if he can't play that live.
@@yeahsure9759 Yes he does play live he always has. He loves being on stage and playing for fans. I've known him over 30 years and he's played live on every tour and every show. Its silly that some think otherwise. They have no idea what they're talking about. Sad.
Saw John 5 w Zombie... his solo was just stupid good. I recorded it. I still watch it. I'm still mesmerized by it. SOOOO many "Goat's" out there but John has to be king GOAT.
It simply shows us how great composer was Mick Mars.
Dude did compose some bangers
He's still making good tunes
@@comfortablynumb9342 no doubt.
@@fabienlamour3644 Mick's new stuff sounds modern and heavy, he's still relevant and badass
Mick was a great composer but an average guitar player
Tribute to Mick! They are played true and with a high level of respect. Thank you John.
"Home Sweet Home" is *so* clean. It's intimidating. John's always been a machine, but still....it's scary...
Man he nailed that solo
I think he's too good to be in Motley Crue. Not to bash Mick or anything. Besides I thought they had a funeral a few years ago. 🤔
Mick Mars was so underrated and clearly under appreciated by his former band. I would argue without his guitar riffs and tone - Motley Crue would not be who they r today
Exacto
Agreed
John 5 is also a legend and is also very underrated and doesn’t get the recognition he deserves
Mick Mars has been totally underrated for years ! When Mick stop touring the band should have too !

John 5 is the bomb.. very thick!
This man is an ARTIST...also a VIRTUOSO guitarist....
a true master at his art. 🤘
That drummer rock to.. yes sir!!
Great medley, but I would have loved to hear John include "Ten Seconds to Love". One of my favorite chunky riffs!!!
Agreed.
John 5 is killing it
I was at this show and holy crap, dude is an absolute monster but it's waaayy cooler seeing it live😮
5 and Mars….two of the very best!
John5 is one thing (great) but the spot on drum and bass section!
Replication spot on. Incredibly awesome. Hail to Mick Mars and all but John 5 You are 1!

Every single one of my favourite Crue tunes covered. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤
I am 63 years old and being an original Motley Crew fan John 5 has made me one of his fans also. He really is spot on with whatever he plays.
That's because of his respect for Mars
I really hope that Mick Mars is flattered on how big of a fan that John 5 is and what an honor it is to have such a talented guitar player dedicated to replicating his songs!
Wow! I know all the songs,you are one of a kind John5!!!
Say what you will about Mötley Crüe, but we all knew all those songs!
What I will say is that, the only member worth their weight is Mick Mars.
Tommy is ok
Nicky Sixx - root note zombie
Vince Neil - karaoke castaway at best
What can you say, other than MC were awesome?
JOHN 5 rips it up, seen him few times w the MM show,and his youtubes are incredible, what a rock star🤙👍
Makes you realized just how many good songs they had
John is one of the most impressive new guitarists.
new? ))))))
Yea , this dude is old by comparison. He is in his 50’s
Not bad!
Total respect for john.
Up there with the very best.
Im' still mindblowed by his talent after more than 20 years of following him and how this guy never gets old
The way that John makes everything look so effortless is scary lol, it’s insane the way this guy looks like he’s using zero effort to do any of this 😂, such an underrated guitar player in rock music. He’s a beast
great riffs thankyou john
What an honor to Mick to have John carry the torch. Mick is clearly one of the Mozart's of hard rock!
Just hit after hit after hit!!! Fantastic!!!
❤ You John 5... Hell Yeah...Mr Dilly.. Approved !!! 👍🎸😎
Fucking Rock and Roll !!! Greetings from Venezuela... I follow you. You are the BEST!!!
He's one of the best
Mick Mars was a beast!!! Love his style. John 5 is a beast too. Love them both.
John 5 is the most talented in Crue right now
MIck Mars created some great riffs, You know immediatly those are his!!! Great job John 5 reproducing those
I’m hooked on the outfit!
John 5 Phenomenal. Like.No.Other.
The transitions are amazing
A +
Thanks for posting ! ⚡
John is so bad ass. Underrated for sure!!
He’s rated exactly where he belongs.
Was at this show 🎉🎉 amazing 👏
I saw him do this medley at The Observatory in Santa Ana, California on Friday, January 26th.
I didn’t know the first album was still in play. J5 FTW, Triple Threat !
Mick created some killer riffs over the years, and J5 plays them perfectly
I look forward to their new material with John.
Brillant

Your tripping bro , mick mars plays his music better than any one else does , John does a great job still !!
What a machine …. His turn to carry Motley Crue.
But who steps to the mic?
That was cool as heck!
great stuff john 5 loved it when the crowd sang a long
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!!
So awesome..Thanks for this post..!!
Love John 5. Only he could make MC sound cool again.
great🔥🎸
Jesus.
It seems so effortless when he plays.
I was there!
His dress is super adorable 🙃
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen
This band should get a singer and do the Motley tribute
Dude is a monster
As always , attention to those little details. Wowzer Bro , Your whammy bar actions are badd azz , ha , Kudo's ! Rock On , for all of Our's sake !
Fucking epic! Love John 5 he is the perfect addition to Motley Fucking Crue!!
Sounds good
John 5 is soooooo fuckin good!!!
Now I'm questioning this, after hearing the new song!!!
Not if John 5 is good but the whole replacement thing. Didn't like what I heard
Motley doesnt deserve him! he is a Future GOAT!
Motley Crue is legendary. Perfect for him to continue on his journey!

John 5 and Phil X has risen to today modern guitar giants,, technical yet tasteful playing n hey a six string guitars no Stoopid cookie Munster tuning
While John 5 is ... the best there was, the best there is, the best that ever will be, Mick made all of that. So underrated
He’s rated exactly where he belongs.
saw him with Manson back in the day. His playing on Sweet Dreams of unbelievable.
Dude can RIP ! Brings back memories of the 80's , great times for us metal heads !
Somewhere Mick Mars is wondering..."Was I really that good?"
He moves through the riffs in chronological order !
This is really fun.
One of the best this is why sixx hired him
Now Sixx needs to hire an actual bass player
You can’t be that ignorant. Sixx is an exceptional bass player. Very well accomplished. He is Motley Crue.
@@floridapielady delusional much? He doesn’t even play it in concert…
@@yeahsure9759 Yes he does play live he always has. He loves being on stage and playing for fans. I've known him over 30 years and he's played live on every tour and every show. Its silly that some think otherwise. They have no idea what they're talking about. Sad.
@@floridapielady He Does NOT play live as of recent it has already been proven and he is a horrible bass player
Nice.
Nice Dress John!!! You look good in white 😅😅😂😂
Love what you do. How do you feel about filling Micks’ shoes?
Vinces son niell sang home sweethome at the O 2-27 and was awesome!
this ones for you Mic.
Too awesome
A Mick Medley !
Saw John 5 w Zombie... his solo was just stupid good. I recorded it. I still watch it. I'm still mesmerized by it. SOOOO many "Goat's" out there but John has to be king GOAT.
rock!
Mick Mars Karaoke CONGRATS
John 5 is so good, it plays everything EXACTLY how it was recorded. He plays Mick Mars music better than Mick Mars!! INCREDIBLE
Crazy hearing it with that bass thumping back there.
Pretty dress
Monster Player.
Love John 5!! BTW is that Tommy on the drums?
It’s not
Hey John. how do you feel doing micks’ vibes?
The guy plays them better than the original guitarist but there is still no substitute for the real deal and original writer
Is he going through the green channel on that evh? Damn sounds killer
His new signature axe sounds incredible. Debating buying one.
🤘
Let's hear it for the crowd
I wish John 5 and GE Smith would stop being so awesome because it's taking too much time watching these videos when I need to do other stuff.
So true and I’m watching at the same damn time. That and I’ve finally discovered Bobbie Brown’s autobiography!!! Talk about dirt!!!!
