MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars posted the following brief update yesterday (Thursday, September 8th) via his Twitter account:
"In the studio today writing with (bassist) Twiggy Ramirez of MARILYN MANSON!"Mars has been working in his studio on a new solo album since early 2010. Earlier this summer, Laura Mann of The Dallas Observer reported that even though his band were on tour across North America with POISON, Mars is working on some new things, too.
He recently jammed with legendary jazz guitarist GEORGE BENSON, and the two found that they had a lot in common - namely that they're both fans of Wes Montgomery. The session so affected Mars, he's now considering releasing a solo effort of R&B;, soul, and blues songs. No rush, though - it will happen "if and when I find the right people," he says.
"I found the right drummer, and I've asked MACY GRAY if she'd like to guest on it," he says. "It's not going to be anything like Mötley Crüe, but a lot of different cultural beats.""I call it 'pure music,'" he says, citing the work of CARLOS SANTANA as an example of what might come.
