Sometimes interviewing the most discreet member of a band might be an interesting move. “He doesn’t talk much, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t think a lot”, you might tell yourself, hoping to deal with a lively character who will show you another side of their band. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work every time.
In the present case, Mick Mars, Mötley Crüe’s guitarist, is neither the most talkative, nor the most committed of musicians when it comes to interviews. When we ask him the meaning or the reason behind the sudden re-release of the band’s albums, his answer is a terse: “I don’t know”. He couldn’t even tell us what the atmosphere’s like during his own band’s tours, since, on his own admission: “When I’m on tour, what I do is, I come in, I play, I leave”. In this instance, we wanted to know more about the atmosphere during the shared Mötley Crüe/Poison tour, given that the relationships between the various members of the band were a little tense. Most notably, Nikki Sixx, bassist for the former, and Bret Michaels, vocalist for the latter, had violently bashed one another on Internet in the months leading up to the announcement of this shared tour.
But we’ll forgive his answer to the next question, regarding Vince Neil’s (the Crüe’s singer) strong presence in the media in the past year, due to his legal setbacks and sometimes violent love affairs. “How are the other members of the band living this situation? Do they talk together about that? Aren’t they a little upset about being associated with all those problems?” Mick Mars’ answer: “No comment”.
Nevertheless, we did manage to learn a few things regarding the band’s future, as well as his own current affairs.
