April Is International Guitar Month- Mick Mars

When I Think “Motley” I Think “Mars”

Mick Mars shaped the sound of 80’s metal as the guitar player for Motley Crue.

Silent, Mysterious and somewhat SCARY , he is the sound of The Crue.

Born Robert Alan Deal, Mick’s innovative sound was influenced by Jeff Beck and Dick Dale and in this Carr Stereo Short clip he discusses expanding during his solo release “The Other Side of Mars” which was released in 2024.

Mick has struggled with a chronic, inflammatory arthritis called “Ankylosing Spondylitis” since his teens, and left touring with Motley Crue in 2022.

I’ve always been a Motley Girl and Mick has always been a really kind guy to speak with. And I LOVE picking his brain on sound!
