Mick Mars Is Suing Motley Crue and Accusing Them of Faking It Onstage
Motley Crue IMPLODED yesterday when Mick Mars sued the band and accused them of FAKING IT onstage. Here's the deal:
After their stadium tour wrapped up, Mick announced that he was retiring from touring because of his ankylosing spondylitis . . . a form of arthritis he's been dealing with for years. The Crue is back on the road now with another guitarist.
Mick never planned on QUITTING the band. He figured he could still record with them and play limited dates. But instead, he says they booted him from the band and reduced his cut of the profits from 25% to 5%.
He also says that during his last tour with the band, Nikki Sixx was gaslighting him by constantly telling him he was playing the wrong notes.
In his lawsuit, Mick claims he played live the entire tour... . but he was THE ONLY ONE. He says Nikki, quote, "did not play a single note on bass during the entire U.S. tour . . . [his] bass parts were nothing but recordings."
He also said a "significant portion" of Vince Neil's vocals were pre-recorded . . . and so were some of Tommy Lee's drum parts.
Mick isn't asking for money right now. He's suing to get the band to open the books, so he can see if he's getting screwed out of what he deserves.
A lawyer for the band called his lawsuit, quote, "unfortunate and completely off-base."
