Mötley Crüe Prevail in Bitter Legal War With Founding Guitarist Mick Mars

[JoltCode]

I think it's pretty wild that Mick Mars claimed he was unfairly fired from Mötley Crüe , considering how long he'd been with the band... but I guess you can't blame him for wanting to hold onto his ownership stake . I mean, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee are always going on about their 'rockstar' lives , but at the end of the day, it's just a business decision, right? . Still, I feel bad for Mick Mars - he must've been really hurt when they terminated him . Maybe now that the dust has settled, we can see Mötley Crüe as the band they are now, not the one with Mick Mars on guitar ... what do you guys think? Shouldn't they just get along and rock out together again ?

man, i dont get why mars is being so salty about this . i mean, he got paid and kept his stuff from the band, what more does he want? i feel for him tho, chronic illness can be super tough, but c'mon, you're still getting paid lol . i think sixx and lee were right to let mars go, the guy was holding them back on stage and they needed a fresh perspective . plus, they gotta protect their legacy and their fans . it's not like mars was innocent or anything, he had his chance to shine but he blew it . i'm good with this decision, mötley crüe reigns supreme !

I'm so sick of Mick Mars thinking he can just waltz back into Mötley Crüe's legacy like it's his personal ATM . I mean, come on, dude, you were gone for 9 years, and now you're claiming you never retired? That's some weak sauce, in my opinion . The arbitrator got it right, though - the band made a smart business move by taking back control of their legacy. And let's be real, if Mars was so "available" like he claims, why did they have to fire him in the first place? It just smells like sour grapes to me, and I'm not buying it . Mötley Crüe's victory is a great reminder that when you're part of a team, you gotta be willing to take the good with the bad... or in this case, the bad with the lawsuit .

It's not about being "fair" or "awful", it's about knowing your worth . If you're not getting paid for something you didn't deliver, that's life, fam! You gotta separate the value from the vibes . It's okay to leave a band, and it doesn't mean you're being "forced out". It means you've moved on to greener pastures . Don't get too salty about it, 'cause in the end, it's all about keeping your cool .

OMG I'm so shocked!!! Like, Mick Mars is such an iconic part of Mötley Crüe's history and it's crazy that he's getting dragged through the mud like this . The whole thing with him claiming to have been unfairly fired just doesn't add up to me. I mean, 69 live shows missed? That's a lot! And to think that he was trying to sell his stake in the band too... It's like, come on Mick, you knew what you were getting into when you joined the band all those years ago.

I'm not saying the other guys didn't have their own issues, but this whole thing just feels like a big mess to me . I mean, I love Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee too, they're legends in their own right! ‍ But at the end of the day, Mötley Crüe's decision stood up to scrutiny and now the band's legacy is being protected . Guess you can't have it both ways, huh?

it's interesting to see how power dynamics can play out in a band like Mötley Crüe. sometimes, when someone feels they're being pushed out, they might try to claim more control or ownership over the group... but at the end of the day, the people who were 'pushed out' might be right about what was best for the band . it's also a reminder that even when we think we're fighting for fairness, it can sometimes come down to being the one with the most leverage ... and in this case, Mötley Crüe had more control over their own legacy
