During a recent interview with Riff X’s “Metal XS“, Mick Mars further commented on his legal battle with Mötley Crüe. The guitarist says he “can’t say it’s the end of [his] association or even being in the band.”
Mars said the following:
“I’m not upset or any kind of thing like that. It’s normal. It just happens. It just happens.”
He continued:
“I can’t say it’s the end of my association or even being in the band. When I retired, I still made myself available for new songs, short tours, one-offs or residencies and stuff like that. But I had this ankylosing spondylitis, and that intense touring, at my age, just got to be pretty rough. And that’s about it. It’s gonna be what it is, and I have to leave it at that. But you’ll follow it and know what’s going on.”
He also added the following about his legacy:
“Being a musician was the most important thing for me. There’s a lot of bands that do that all jumping, theatrical stuff all over the stage. But I wasn’t that guy. I was the guy that goes, like, ‘I wanna play music. I really wanna play music. I really wanna write some serious stuff. I wanna do this. I wanna hear myself.’ This is when I’m a teenager, right? ‘I wanna hear myself on the radio. I wanna see my music in commercials,’ or whatever. And that’s what I wanted to do forever and ever and ever, and still do. And if I get a little bit upstaged or overlooked, because MÖTLEY was very theatrical, that’s okay, that’s okay. I’m about the music.”
