@@gfgranja Nikki didnt have the guitar skills of Mick to feel a track and lay down a dirty heavy sound..... This band was built around that guitar sound and Sixx's clever songwriting skills. But that guitar sound is what draws you into every Crue Song!
One of the most over look and under appreciated guitar players ever. his riffs and solos are so creative and unique, some of them will give your hand a hard time. No mick = no Crue
Been playing guitar for 15 years and have been diving into mick’s playing and I’m kicking myself for never really getting into Motley Crue until now lol
I was about 18 or 19 when this came out and I remember I thought it was f****** awesome Everybody in the neighborhood played guitar or was in some sort of local band and Motley Crue was a breath of fresh air
The riffs of Mick Mars are what carried the Crue for years. If his back is bent it's from carrying the weight of lesser men for 41 years. He is more of a man than the other 3 put together.
Danger is such an underrated song, love the vibe! Other riffs you could have played: Live wire, All in the name of, Dancing on glass, merry go around, Take me to the top, SOS, etc
do Mick Mars solos next, nobody ever talks about how badass the solos are. hella bluesy with hints of harmonic minor and a lot of pinch harmonics. love that man
He was a great guitarist I play drums I've been playing drums for 40 years And I have played a lot of Motley Crue songs for many years Tommy Lee deafly influenced me over the years👍 Keep rockin Tommy
Killer jams. I had just started playing when Shout At The Devil came out. Was a VERY cool time to be a guitar playing teenager. I graduated in '87. I saw the very first video MTV played. MTV sucks now. Motley rocked. Mick is one of the most underrated players of all time.
I love you mick were ever you are ..you was my idol for 53 years .you was the best man your at the top of my Eddie Randy' mick George Jake thats all I ever loved put them all together and you see me.shredd on my friend. God bless you and your family and friends
Amazing video, brother. I have the same taste in their songs and riffs. I'm 45 now, but I got my first Motley Crue cassette for Easter in 1983, at the age of 10, from my Grandparents. Lol.....That is a Killer Burst on that Les Paul. I just subscribed to your channel, assuming that the majority of it is guitar related things. My favorite song from Motley Crue is 10 seconds to love. Hello from New Orleans. Keep rocking.
Hi Sonny, thank you. Your Grandparents seem to be the coolest in the world. That LES PAUL is the Harley Benton Brand from Germany. Great guitars. Great that you enjoyed the video with your favorite riffs.
,👍👍 Love "In the beginning" that Bell sound is so eerie. Great Tribute brother! The white Strat is my favorite. "Danger" is the best album closer ever written.
@@tommykicksass yea, that song is overlooked. Vince's vocals were good on this. SATD was ahead of it's time, considering what was being played on the radio and what was popular back then.
Mick's tone and rhythm work is spectacular. His lead stuff was alright, not technically superior, but still, many his solos were memorable-- especially Take Me to the Top, the outro to Starry Eyes, Too Young to Fall In Love, Fight For Your Rights, Home Sweet Home and Smokin In the Boys Room.
Mick would say that you suck because you're not Jeff Beck. Hahahahaha ! :D Thank you for clearly pointing out how to do these subtle variations in the Looks That Kill riff. Every tab I found was blatantly wrong or just ignoring them.
my fav guitar play will always be Mic. two Richies dont make it right..my name as well. dude..that T is too new. i still have my original T from 1987 girls girls girls tour at joe lewis arena in detroit..kick ass show.
Mick Mars should go down as an innovator and be inducted in RRHOF as a guitar player. Motley Crue is kickass band every guy in that band is a legend in music!!!
Oh my god!!!!! How can a guy who sold millions and millions of albums be underrated!!!!!??? That's all they say about the guy is how underrated he is jesus!!!!! People just say anything they hear!!!!
Dude I've been taking up for mick mars since motley crue became my favorite heavy metal band not anymore since they suck and have become posers except mick. Got into heavy metal in 1983 the was my favorite band until generation swine after that I was done did like some of new tattoo hated the saints of Los Angeles only liked the title track. I live and breathe real metal and mick mars never got the credit he deserves for making the crue awesome so it's cool to see we don't all think mick ain't that great but actually love his style and playing. While others had pics of lynch and demartini I had pics of mick one great heavy metal guitarist playing heavy metal the way it should be played loud,rude and aggressive Mick Mars one word legend. Ain't nobody gonna remember a dream theatre 15 minute song but 20 years from now they're gonna be jamming looks that kill and shout at the devil. Motley Crue 1981 to 1989 great heavy metal shout is the best then theatre of pain. Just listen to mick on those albums. That's for giving mick his credit.
Mick was the most underated pre-youtube guitarist. Now that youtube comments fixed it, you guys can start to stop claiming that he is the most underated guitarist of all time.
I have to say it Mick Mars murderous Riffs that caught my attention with Motley Crue, Also it was Mick Mars Who gave the band the name, Motley Crue! Without Mick Mars murderous Riffs and giving the band it's nane, they wouldn't be where they are now, that's just a fact, When I first heard Livewire in 1985 I was still a kid it was that Riff in the Beginning, then Tommy Lee's just beating the hell out of that drum set it's like John Bonham drumming, then of course Vince Neil's voice comes in then Nikki and Nikki Sixx bass and really great song writing.
Nikki sixx, was for motley crue what steve harris was for maidens (..oviously not about the same instrument played, but as founder, mind and composer. ..Of almost all the songs).
Awesome Bro it's obvious you done your homework your Guitars sounds really good I agree mick Mars was deftly underrated guitarist!! My opinion There were 4 elements that work great together that created the monster Motley Crue!👍
Hey Don. Thank you. I agree, every member of the Crüe had his unique talent. Mick will always be my favorite Guitarman. He always played what the song needed, not more. Keeps it real simple, but powerful. 👍
I think Mick Mars is problably the most underrated and under appreciated guitarist ever
I have always thought it was Joe Walsh. But you are right, Mick is drastically under appreciated vs. others.
the best part is he is so humble he thinks clapton is better than him lol
Because Clapton is.
@@paulmartinezbass7816 i agree !
I mean, he was in Motley Crue, played in front of million people over the years, my whole city is more underrated than Mick
Without Micks riffs this band would be nothing. Great guitarist
Agree. He lifted the band to the top.
Many of these riffs were written by Nikki. But i agree Mick rules!
90% off the riffs are from Nikki, but Mars surely put his talent on it. Make it sound dirtier and heavier
Some of the riffs were even written by Tommy
@@gfgranja Nikki didnt have the guitar skills of Mick to feel a track and lay down a dirty heavy sound..... This band was built around that guitar sound and Sixx's clever songwriting skills. But that guitar sound is what draws you into every Crue Song!
Mick Mars is the definition of suck it up
His back is causing him a shit ton of pain...but hes still willing to go back out on tour.
One of the most over look and under appreciated guitar players ever. his riffs and solos are so creative and unique, some of them will give your hand a hard time.
No mick = no Crue
so true
The Kramer is the most 80's Hair/Glam Metal you can get. Highly underrated guitar, I got one of those '83 reissues because of that sentiment.
I have the 85
Gonna buy baretta/stricker soo as thomann go they on lefty... allready bought pacer its KILLErR
Anything B.C. Rich made isn't far behind
Been playing guitar for 15 years and have been diving into mick’s playing and I’m kicking myself for never really getting into Motley Crue until now lol
Dude me too, I saw the film and loved their music, i just wasnt into their look and misjudged based on that :(
@@Starn3r what if it's a cookbook?
Tony Stanford good point
Captain Starner I was born in 92 my dude, they weren’t popular when I was coming up lol
Christopher Smith i was born in 99 and i was listening to 80’s music when i was 9, my dad taught me well
I was about 18 or 19 when this came out and I remember I thought it was f****** awesome
Everybody in the neighborhood played guitar or was in some sort of local band and Motley Crue was a breath of fresh air

Excellent job man. Mick is so underrated, thanks for posting.
Thanks Metal God. Yes, Mick belongs to the best of the 80's.
Great job
Thank you Tone King!
Danger is such an underrated song, love the vibe! Other riffs you could have played: Live wire, All in the name of, Dancing on glass, merry go around, Take me to the top, SOS, etc
You're playing is very solid. Well done.
THANKS JACOB
do Mick Mars solos next, nobody ever talks about how badass the solos are. hella bluesy with hints of harmonic minor and a lot of pinch harmonics. love that man
Mick would be proud to jam with you dude. Excellent!!!!
He was a great guitarist I play drums I've been playing drums for 40 years And I have played a lot of Motley Crue songs for many years Tommy Lee deafly influenced me over the years👍 Keep rockin Tommy
Check out my Tommy Lee drumcover on my RUclips site.
nice grandpa
@@diegoherrera345 everybody will get old so enjoy your youth while u have it
No mick no crue.
Mick Mars Is a Legend!! Love this. Thanks for sharing Mick's Greatest riffs! He's so underrated it's pathetic!
Mick Mars is an amazing guitarist, I could listen to him play guitar for hours. Great video, I wish I could play this well.
Thanks Frank. You're right, Mick's playing in unique.
Mötley fan since 1989, love that riffs!
great Riffs, great job man and i love Mick Mars.
Off the chart dude,you totally nailed it.I would love to have fingers as long as yours,your first knuckle can reach the low E,amazing.
Thank you.
MICK MARS IS A TOTAL BADASS ON GUITAR
yes, he is. Best Mötley musician for me.
Well done bro playing and tone spot on
Killer jams. I had just started playing when Shout At The Devil came out. Was a VERY cool time to be a guitar playing teenager. I graduated in '87. I saw the very first video MTV played. MTV sucks now. Motley rocked. Mick is one of the most underrated players of all time.
Thank you. You're right. 87-92 was great for music, not only Hard Rock, even Pop music was great back then.
I just learned ten seconds to love with no tutorial. Cool to see you play it exactly like I do. One of my Crue faves
Awesome. Kramer!!! Nice selection!
I love you mick were ever you are ..you was my idol for 53 years .you was the best man your at the top of my Eddie Randy' mick George Jake thats all I ever loved put them all together and you see me.shredd on my friend. God bless you and your family and friends
• Live Wire
• Take me to the top
• Too young to fall in love
• Helter Skelter
Shouldn't do Helter Skelter because that is originally a Beatles song
@@zavier4168 woosh
@@zavier4168 Teaser too. Its a Tommy Bolin song.

Very good I have seen many try to play motley Crue and never get it right but you got it 100% right...
Thank you very much.
Mick Mars is a great guitarrist
I LOVE Motley Crue
Love the tone on the playing for all these songs. You should put up a video on how you got it.
You've got yourself an Isabella-replica. I want one too.
And very nice medley.
Thank you Sami. Have fun building your own Isabella.
Looking at you play this shows that whatever I do will never be good
,👍👍 Love "In the beginning" that Bell sound is so eerie.
Great Tribute brother!
The white Strat is my favorite. "Danger" is the best album closer ever written.
Thank you very much. Danger was always an overlooked classic in my opinion. Such a great song and I love when Vince sings: "This is Hollywood..."
@@tommykicksass yea, that song is overlooked. Vince's vocals were good on this. SATD was ahead of it's time, considering what was being played on the radio and what was popular back then.
Very Cool Guitars.
Killer tone and playing! Nice guitars too! ;)

Man you rock!!!!! great cover on guitar!! Mick Mars The Best
Thank you Jonathan.
Exelentes riffs, nunca me dio por escuchar canciones de motley crue hasta la pelicula la verdad.

100% AGREE. He always played what the song needed. Not more.
Home sweet home is a great solo, even just the clean guitar at the start is awesome
Your'e very talented, good on you sir!
Thank you sir.
Take me to the top?!?!
Wild Side ?

Excellent playing ,equipment and sound,total hair/glam 🤘
Thank you very much Nickolas. There is more glam to come in the next days.
Mick would say that you suck because you're not Jeff Beck. Hahahahaha ! :D
Thank you for clearly pointing out how to do these subtle variations in the Looks That Kill riff. Every tab I found was blatantly wrong or just ignoring them.
Hehehe, yeah that's what Mick would say. 😂
From one player to another, nice playing brother and quite appropriate with the new movie out !!!! Much enjoyed and sub'd
Thank you. 👍
Great video thanks. I enjoyed it a lot. Good job.
Well done!!!
Good combination Nikki writes AND Mick plays
Steve Stevens, Mick Mars, John 5, CC Deville are my favourite guitarists
I love Motley Crue! Parabéns!
Great job man !
Very good, someone know City Boy Blues, one of his best riffs. 👏👏👏
You should also play Sumthin for Nuthin, another excellent riff.
Definitely some of his best riffs in this list. Good job.
nice playing man, very solid and accurate riff there 😎👍
Thank you LY.

Why would someone dislike this video nothing is wrong with it
ĐÝŁØŇ ÖŚWÅĻŤ the dislike button is 40% of the reason why social media is successful. People love to hate, fuck em tho rock on.
ĐÝŁØŇ ÖŚWÅĻŤ it’s motley crue songs ? Perhaps that’s why ?
I sometimes mistakenly click the dislike button. Touch screen phones are hard to use.
Yeahhhhh!
Spot on
Mick sound is so cool
Just an important note: most of these were written by Nikki Sixx. 🤔
Well yea, the thing though is that Nikki made outlines/skeletons of a riff (which would be filled in later).
Arthur Brown The UNCANNY KODIAK I don’t think Vince made many songs Nikki made 75% of em vince 5% tommy 5% mick 15%
Nikki sixx, was for motley crue what steve harris was for maidens (..oviously not about the same instrument played, but as founder, mind and composer. ..Of almost all the songs).
Nikki songs wouldn't have been the same without Mick on guitar
Love the Kramer. Keeping it 80s
no more comments about ''Mick Mars is the most underrated blabla bla'' they are in every f...ng video!!!!
