John 5 seems to be also such a cool person. I watched some interviews, so humble.

Exactly! I don’t get all the hate.

@@shawnstarks1743 The best way I can put it is that John 5 is an insanely talented guitarist, arguably one of the most technical and talented actively performing guitarists out there. I've been following him for years on social media, and he's definitely a "fan's guitarist", you just can't help but root for the guy. He practices nonstop, and he seems like a genuinely pleasant person who is thankful for the opportunities he's been given. Seeing him move up and get these higher profile gigs makes me happy for him, kind of feels like seeing someone I've "known" and rooted for, getting the breaks they've working their whole lives for. Come a long way from getting kicked by Manson in a Mickey outfit.

@@mattskillman To me John 5 now is what Steve Vai was in the 80’s and 90’s (you know, played with everybody who was anybody). It’s almost the exact same path. The only difference is, John 5 doesn’t have a ego. 😂

@@shawnstarks1743 I'd love to see John 5 and Brad Paisley do some kind of Telecaster "chicken pickin" collab. Would be an epic crossover.

Yeah IK..... It's BEEN, LOOOONNNGG OVER for him and there's simply NO "gettin BACK" what basically, the man NEVER really HAD to begin with..... SMH. And now, Sixx sayin he's wantin to go to 2023 with "what's left" 🤨😬 SMH 😒

Why? They are still selling out shows lol. Until they stop selling tickets they will keep touring.

Vince has sucked badly for years but his ego refuses to accept it. He mumbles the lyrics and it's fucking sad

I’m not sure vince has heard his own songs for at least 25 years, and it’s like he’s live remembering bits of lyrics for the first time every night, like he has some sort of head injury. It’s so odd - john 5s playing is so perfectly placed there’s literally no feel or sleaze, while vince is at the other end, as sloppy and loose as his aging ball bags

He sounds way better in this video than he did a year ago.

I fucking love michael Starr lol 😂

I would

They actually do. Search on KZfaq Mick Mars IEM. The whole band is muted except for partial vocal queues by Vince. He played to a metronome. Mick Mars definitely was the soul to Crue, and it’s obvious now. They shouldn’t have said shit to Mick about “forgetting parts” while Vince sings songs in toddler language.

This comment would he hilarious hadn't Mick himself confirmed that Nikki didn't play a single note on his bass during this whole tour and that it's all a backing track. Tommy also has one. One of my favorite bands is now a joke.

@@willowamberfitzgerald IK bro 😞... The INFAMOUS "CRUE", that DOMINATED the 80s (even though from "Theater" and on, their actual M.U.S.I.C. was pretty disappointing 😔) IS NOW...A friggin HORRIBLE bad joke. WHY tha hell they couldn't have just STAYED retired from the "last retirement tour" in 2015, as Nikki Sukks and company have just RUINED ANY and EVERY LAST bit of self respect/ dignity that they once HAD...SMDH 😒

Ah c'mon, Vince is so bad it's funny! What's really tragic is that none of these bands retire, because there's no new acts worthy enough to replace them.

True 👍

Yeah. I like John as a player and person, but the tone is off. Not deep and full enough. Sounds a little tin-ee.

​@@scottgeary6290i was thinking that myself, his sound is not very enough. And don't get me wrong I love john5 but Mick is my all time favorite guitarist

John 5 will never hold a candle to Mick Mars! Motley Crue isn't Motley Crue without Mick Mars.

John 5 es excelente guitarrista sin duda alguna, pero Mick Mars es Mick Mars

Bro, this is prob more accurate than you think

@@MrChuffs -true

That sounds like he has improved from when i last saw him 😂

Lol

Look at the dancers and then look at the ones on the Carnival of Sins tour.

Everyone loves the guy, he just seems like a nice guy besides being amazing..

It's actually a microphone, if you look over to the other side you'll see Nikki's.

Plays nothing like Mick. Not great

John 5 doesn't play like Mick at all. A cheap copy.

Did you hear him sing? I'd let the crowd sing more too if it was me. He sounds horrible which is very sad for me. He has a unique voice but he hasn't taken care of it.

@@Whatthechuckttv the dudes 62 years old, geeze. he's lived a rough life. Cut him some slack

Someone has to sing in time with the song.

@@bradleycrenshaw6778 Bruce Dickinson is 65

@@bradleycrenshaw6778 why? Have you heard others from that same era today? Klaus Mein of Scorpions is in his 70s and still sounds amazing. The point is he didn't take care of his voice and for a singer who wants to have a long career, that's never going to end well. You have to take care of your money maker. So no, I won't give him some slack

Right? John is beyond great. However?

Agree mate

Exactly. John is good, but too sterile. Mick had this fat, sloppy (like Vince 😉) bluesy, full sound. He made you think they had 2 more guitarists playing.

@@programmerm5907 absolutely. I love Mick's trick, using a really short delay. Like on Kickstart My heart. To fatten the sound up, it is excellent. Yes I did notice the sound difference myself. As much as I love John 5. I kind of have to agree. Because I love Mick.

Hell they worried about Mick sueing them.. When Vince don't sound worth a shit..

Count calories

@@kennytesta9312 ha ha classic!!!!

Yeah, that and he's just horrible in general. It's embarrassing

You are correct

I agree with you. John 5 is one of the greatest but it not Mick. Mick is Motley Crue

This is on Tommy and Nikki. They won't do the right thing and get the band in top shape. There are in top shape...but the other two do not fit the Motley Crue brand.

@@ShaneCragun if playing air guitar to a recorded track is 'in shape' then I guess Nikki still has it

Exactly, John 5 can play complex solos and he knows a lot of great techniques, but that's the thing about Mick Mars..his playing is unique. The way he plays guitar makes ordinary simple stuff sound dynamic and twice as difficult to play. Mick's solos moved me and inspired me to play guitar. Great guitar player ⚡🤘⚡

@@kevintheguitarslayer 100% agree! " Bittersuite" is a good example and some excellent guitar work in my opinion from Mick, a different side of him for sure.

I imagine John has known most of these songs as long as they’ve existed

You are lying here. High Five. 😃

100%

I agree, while John 5 didn’t do a bad job, there was clearly something missing, it kinda sounded boring. I went and watched a video of the song with Mick just to double-check, and yeah, it's a whole different song when Mick plays it

Listening to Mick doing this live, then listening to this, back & forth. This just doesn’t quite cut it and at first I thought it was John 5. It wasn’t. Now I think it’s Vince. Oh God I want so badly to love this cuz it’s my favorite Mötley Crüe song. Maybe it’s the recording. Tommy & Nikki sound so great.

@@heidipeterson7662 😶 .............

He is not underrated, I'm thinking you don't know the definition 😂

shitshow isn't it? Still can't believe people to pay to watch this shit. I loved Crue when DrFG came out. I wouldn't waste the money on petrol to go to this even if I got given a ticket. Vince is a joke.

Vince sounds better then a few years ago! Hope it Will still get better

@@jonasnordgren1720he’s still terrible.

@@tma4137 did you not read? ”Hope it Will still get better” did not say he sounds great now ^^

That’s not saying much. Mick was never considered top tier.

@@mitchcarson6309 No, Mick has been/IS constantly bad-mouthed and underrated as a "hot shot GUITARIST" correct. But...The man actually IS a brilliant "player", obviously...A Steve Vai, EVH, Rhoads style "musician"? NO... But again, Mick Mars IS/WAS the SOUND of/for the CRUE, especially when trying to compare his playing SOUND to other ROCK/ Blues guitarists ..... For me? I personally "think" 🤔 Mars IS one of Hard Rock's MOST underrated guitarist 🎸. NTM- HOW LONG that dude HAS, had to soldier ON throughout his physical AFFLICTION. 😔 Playing your instrument is one thing in itself BUT? Playing your chyt WITH PAIN, IS? Another, whole DIFFERENT story (as I can too, relate quite well in fact ). "Here's to your loooong OVERDUE retirement MICK! Mister B.A.D. himself." 😏😎 I'd say THAT, ALL "SAYS ALOT" too, actually. And, so WHERE IS , YOUR "top tier" Hard Rock accomplishments AT, BTW? Lol 😏 ROCK the funk ON!!! 🤘🔥🤘

@@jamescon55 Agreed. Mick's playing is quite unique. While others were focused on 80s-style shredding, he generated this very weird sound no other band had. It sounds creepy, weird and wrong. He plays notes that sound wrong for a millisecond but shortly after made perfect sense. When I heard the Feelgood solo the first time I remember being confused by that double slide he does in the middle. Nobody in the 80s would do that in this way.

@@JamesSmith-ui1iu Yep 👍...I remember seeing 😲 the Looks That Kill video (when it hit) on VHS from my older sister's recording from MTV as she was getting ALL dressed up "groupie lookin lol.) for that night's CRUE SHOUT concert in our town. I remember being 10,11 years old and just LOOKIN 😳 at her get up and laughin, giving her chyt and THEN, she popped on the video....I WAS a CRUE fan IMMEDIATELY , AFTER that Lol 😆. Ohhh yeah.. BACK on track here 🥴 But yeah, Mick's playing on SHOUT is what pulled me in (with Tommy Lee's drumming too, being an aspiring drummer myself, personally). But yeah! Just like that interview with Mick years ago, he says "While EVERYONE (that played guitar 🎸) was ALL ate up with SPEED and the like, I however was on a completely different path and that WAS and STILL IS...TONE....TONE"...and he gave off that creepy "The Emperor from STAR WARS grin" afterwards that, pretty much says it ALL 😏. Lol 😆🤘🔥🤘

I disagree about the sound. John's tone is too thin. Mick's sounded deeper and full. Maybe the Tele? I've never much cared for them outside of country

10000 times better than the wannabe rocker mick!!!!

​@@KristianSivon remember that you are hearing the wannabe rocker songs. And J5 is just his live substitute.

@@KristianSivon The guy who helped make the band what it is you wanna disrespect? Go away jackass.

John 5 been around the block - one of the greats at the moment. Band just isn’t right without Mick though.

@@js1132000 It’s a different band without Mick I agree. But I do like John 5’s addition. They do sound good with him, no question.

Not comparable to Mick. Average at best

​​@@richcampbell6808He's a much better guitarist than mick you're high lol. Mick was good but he's not on John 5's level.

@@Fullcollapse1 Micks made tons of hit songs. John five who?

Fans don’t talk like that

Time for a change. John 5 is a good change

Not when he sees his paychecks

I doubt that. The paychecks are much larger

@@charliehustle1540 he's playing with Motley Crue, I'm sure he isn't regretting his decision. He sounded great and MC is still a great band, theyre just much older. They can't stay in their 20s forever!

giant ass Vince lol

Vince four and Tommy three
