Written by Mick Mars lawsuit alleges that Sixx “gaslighted” Mars about his guitar performance, telling him that he had “cognitive dysfunction” and that his playing was “sub-par.” It added that Sixx “did not play a single note on bass during the entire U.S. tour,” as all of his parts were apparently pre-recorded, in addition to some of Vince Neil’s vocals and Tommy Lee’s drum parts.
Last month, drummer Carmine Appice told Ultimate Guitar that Mars wasn’t happy with the conditions of Motley Crue’s tour last year, and that he traveled separately from the rest of his bandmates.
“Basically, everything was on tape; it was all planned out and ultimately a lot of crap. And Mick is a pretty good player, and so, to now let him loose and play the way he wants, that was never going to work for him,” Appice said. “The truth is that everything has been weird for a while with Motley Crue, and Mick didn’t like that everything was on tape. Mick told me that people that came to see it could tell that it was all pre-recorded and that everything was on tape.”
Mars’ suit only demands the band hand over documents about their business to settle the dispute. This is a developing story.
Motley Crue did not immediately respond to Loudwire’s request for comment.
