MÖTLEY CRÜE's Mick Mars - "I Have At Least 50 Ideas For New Songs"
January 23, 2010, 14 years ago
Darryl Sterdan of The Toronto Sun recently conducted a Q&A; session with MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars. An excerpt follows below:
Have you started working on new material to follow up Saints of Los Angeles?
"I have at least 50 ideas for some new songs for Mötley. Everybody in the band writes on their own and has their own thing. Tommy’s doing his solo album, Nikki is doing SIXX:AM again and Vince is touring. And I’m writing songs for a solo album as well. But we’ve got a bunch of ideas we can collaborate on some time."Would you rather have it happen sooner than later?
"I’d rather have it happen before we tour in 2011, so we not only have a new tour but a new album to go with it. But we’ll have to see what happens."How are you guys getting along? The usual ups and downs?
"Yep. It’s just like family feud. One week, it’s like, ‘Hey, you’re the best!’ And the next week, it’s like, ‘Hey, go f--- yourself!’"Are they never going to respect you for being their elder?
"Who, those guys? Guess what? They’ve all caught up! They’re all like, ‘Oh man, this is getting rough to get up and do every night.’ So now they can relate."To read the full feature, click here.
