Adam ReaderHOST
Dr. Feelgood, I mean, it's pure Motley Crue, right? Adrenaline, big, thick, and relentlessly driving.
Adam ReaderHOST
But what's the real story behind that incredible Mick Mars riff? Well, The answer gets a little murky.
Adam ReaderHOST
People have argued for years about where it all came from.
Adam ReaderHOST
Some folks claim there's a Guns N' Roses connection.
Adam ReaderHOST
Kind of sad.
Adam ReaderHOST
The interesting part of Dr. Feelgood's original is that the song didn't begin with lyrics at all.
Adam ReaderHOST
Nikki said it started with that unforgettable riff that Mick Mars came up with.
Adam ReaderHOST
Nicky heard it and yelled out to Mick, what the freak was that? According to the story, he made Mick play it a couple more times.
Vincent La RussaGUEST
No, no.
Vincent La RussaGUEST
And you could just see the way I mean, I saw a recent interview with Mick Mars and, you know, he was just talking about how much pain he's in from day to day.
Vincent La RussaGUEST
And, you know, you see him like hunched over and, you know, it's just it's it's just hard watching this stuff as you as you get older.
Vincent La RussaGUEST
You're obviously you're happy when these these heroes can still participate.
MarkHOST
All right.
MarkHOST
Will Mick Mars' new music be any good? I
TopherHOST
think so.
MarkHOST
I think so too.
MarkHOST
Yeah, they thought they could.
MarkHOST
They didn't, though.
MarkHOST
So, yeah, I think Mick Mars is probably like, you know what, I made a mistake on that.
MarkHOST
I'm going to correct it, and I'm going to go out with a great album, and I look for good things.
Roy HoneybrookHOST
He was Marilyn Manson's guitarist for a while.
Roy HoneybrookHOST
He does his own thing, too, and now he replaced Mick Mars in Motley Crue after a controversial decision by that band.
KevinHOST
Did you follow that drama? That band's made a lot of controversial decisions.
Roy HoneybrookHOST
Like when Vince Neil killed his buddy and injured a bunch of people in a drunk driving wreck?
Arroe CollinsHOST
John 5, he has a history well before Motley Crue.
Arroe CollinsHOST
He's the dude that took over Mick Mars and Motley Crue.
Arroe CollinsHOST
And so, of course, the radio guy in me has to go and do the research and get real snoopy ass on him and try to figure out where he's come from.
Arroe CollinsHOST
And all he really promotes is that if you're in your bedroom, learn how to do it master it do it make it happen do what you feel have to have that emotion come out of you and use that guitar as your language if that's exactly what you got to do and it's like isn't that what we all do in our bedrooms with that damn guitar before somebody finally sees us
BrettHOST
That's all you need.
BrettHOST
That could be Mick Mars for all I know.
BrettHOST
Andy's
GregHOST
rock star pic.
Chris HawkeyHOST
Oh, of course.
Chris HawkeyHOST
They got John 5 playing guitar now instead of Mick Mars.
Chris HawkeyHOST
So technically...
Chris HawkeyHOST
The
ZeusHOST
And Vince could never sing, you know? And, and the backup singers are doing all the singing.
ZeusHOST
Vince is like, "Baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah, pump fuel, yeah, ow." You know, and then they fired Mick Mars afterwards.
ZeusHOST
I'm not a big Mötley Crüe fan.
ZeusHOST
I mean, my friends wanted to go, and they paid for it, and I drove.
MarkHOST
I think, yeah, probably.
MarkHOST
Remember Mick Mars?
TopherHOST
Oh, yeah.
TopherHOST
I think he was, like, a guitar player for Mötley Crüe at some point.
MarkHOST
He'll never get credit for it.
TopherHOST
Yeah.
MarkHOST
Um, yeah, Mick Mars has always been one of my favorites.
MarkHOST
Well, he did that Other Side of Mars, not that good of an album.
Iain MaloneyGUEST
They break the fa- fourth wall.
Iain MaloneyGUEST
There's at least two places I can think of where, I'm pretty sure it's Mick Mars both times, turns to the camera and says, "This never happened.
Iain MaloneyGUEST
This is bullshit."
NeilHOST
Yeah.
Iain MaloneyGUEST
"Like, that guy wasn't here.
Iain MaloneyGUEST
This was in a different place." Like, they, they conflate their two managers into one manager, and Mick Mars says to the screen, like, "It's shitty that this guy got cut out the movie, but what are you gonna do?" And they go on.
Iain MaloneyGUEST
And I love that.
Iain MaloneyGUEST
So they just embrace it, you know.
