If not for Mick Mars, they would have never been a thing. He accounted for ALL the musicianship in that band. He was their ENTIRE sound.

I live in Indiana. In 1990 I had a friend who went to jail for 3 years for marijuanna. No one died. No one was harmed. He wasn't famous. Just an average kid who got caught with some pot. 3 YEARS. To think Vince Neil got off with 30 days for killing someone is unthinkable.

[CoberBox]

Mick Mars should have just said; well, fuck off then already. Then just retired with new found dignity. Pretty sure there’s not a musician alive that didn’t already recognize him as the most proficient member of the band.

I will say that regardless of my or anyone else's feelings toward Vince, the passing of his little daughter was an unimaginable tragedy. I'll always extend my compassion for that, no parent should ever have to bury their child. Having to watch your small child dying from stomach cancer in front of you is something I can even fathom the agony of.
Vince definitely should have faced further justice over both Razzle and the girl in the other car who was paralysed for life and still lives with a neurological handicap from brain trauma to this day. But he still has my empathy for the loss of Skylar

I'm going with Mick on this one..He deserves the whole 25% . Maybe they should go after Vince's share since he only attempts 5% of the lyrics. He eats the other 20.

14:59 A person is dead and Sixx talks about the whole thing how horrible it is for him and the band. What an insufferable prick

[RockinExperience]

Nothing tragic about this band, especially since almost everything they did to themselves was self inflicted.

I was diagnosed with AS at 28 after years of severe pain. Since so many doctors have little to no knowledge of AS I was simply told to take Tylenol and use heat. It certainly did lead to substance abuse. It was that or screaming in pain and unable to move. Once I finally found a doctor who listened, and after some tests she knew right away what it was. Started on remicade infusions, and have been great ever since. Still get pain once in awhile, but nothing like before.

Stand tall Mr.Mars! In the end, they did you a favor. You're far too talented and iconic to be associated with this version of MC!

[ninjafotos]

We should put Axel and Vince in the ring now, that would be hilarious 😂😂

[juliegogola]

Mick Mars had been the guy that had his shit together, and he had been the one that had been responsible for the Crue'
s success.
R.I.P. Randy Castillo.

It's just amazing to me how they all have no quams about throwing each other under the bus!! Absolutely ZERO LOYALTY!!!! Look what they're trying to do to Mick now!

[gyges]

Tragedy is Skynyrd’s plane going down - these guys deserve their bad luck (except Mars - he’s a champ for sure )

I think theres a bigger reason why Sixx was kept around.His Uncle was the CEO of Capitol records in L.A. at the time and it makes sense, imo, even tho its never been proven, I will bet anything his uncle made a call for him, because lets be honest here, Nikki Sixx could NOT play bass, I dont even think he played live, I believe they most likely played tape behind him and anither thing, now looking back on the story of him hurtung his shoulder during SATD recordings, makes me think he just couldnt play the songs, but he had to be visually a part of the band because like I said his uncle is probably the one who got them signed, it makes a ton of sense!!And then we have the Matthew Trippe story!!I always wondered about his role if any in this??Now I absolutely would not be surprised if he did do work fir them, because if u think about this, SATD is a 180° turn from TFFL and then Theatre was totally different from SATD and imo it was closer to TFFL then SHOUT so its weird to me, like wtf did Shout come from, in the middle of those two records??And guess what Sixx or the Crue NEVER made another record like Shout until funny enough a new element was added to the band for 1994's self titled with CORABI and once again it was much heavier and Sixx said in an interview from that time period it was SATD 2!?!?lmao, so I may not be far off with this and if he was truly the songwriter for the band hed get the lions share but once again if its to be believed on SM Tommy has earmed almost twice as much as Sixx, wtf would that be, if he was always supposedly the main songwriter??lol, I was a massive Crue fan since mid 80's but now with all thats coming to liggt with the band, espesially the fraudulent shit, I still like the memories and okder stuff, but I think Nikki Sixx is a huge fraud

Nikki Sixx walked into a music store and stole a 6 string guitar thinking it was a Bass, nuff said. 🤘😆🤘

[SufferMeNow]

30 days for homicide by vehicle, which they brought it down to manslaughter, is beyond fucking insane.

[Ash]

Tragic? They brought most of it upon themselves!

[artysanmobile]

The narrator’s deep, serious tone just serves to magnify the cartoon humor that is Motley Crue. Great video!

[margueritemazzeo]

Nikki Sixx prancing around in those high heeled platforms is hilarious! 😅😂🎉

Sad to see the contrast between the epic band that opened for Iron Maiden in 1984 and the caricatures of themselves they are now.
