And actually everything that we did on that stadium tour was on tape, because if we didn’t, if we missed a part, the tape would keep rolling and you’d miss it.” The song started, and there’s no drummer.” Stuff like that. I can’t say he did all of it recorded, but there were some reports from people in the audience that said, “Oh, I heard the drums playing, but there’s no Tommy on there. Tommy’s drums, to the best of my knowledge, there was a lot. When I walked into this rehearsal for the stadium tour and I said, “Pick a song, I know them all,” (the response was) “Uh, we aren’t gonna do it that way,” to quote Nikki Sixx.Īnd yes, on this particular tour, Nikki’s bass was 100% recorded. I rehearsed all of these songs for three months, every day, solid, twice a day. And I’ll play the song correct.” And prior to this particular stadium tour, when we rehearsed, the first thing that happened when I walked in was, Nikki Sixx was like, “Hey, Mick, how did that part go? I can’t remember it.” So that’s how our rehearsals went. I’ve even said to those guys - when we were on the phone, when they were all gonna fire me - I go, “You take your drums and play this song.

I don’t have a problem with any of that stuff. I don’t have a problem remembering the songs. So, no, the truth is: I want to retire from touring because of my AS. They had all the 10th Street people there - probably about five or six people - (versus) all my doctors going: “There’s nothing wrong with him.” And now they’re still playing that game with me.
Around 2012, when they first started saying that my memory was bad and I didn’t remember the songs, I came home and saw all my doctors, because I keep myself together, because I’m an old bastard. And that’s full-blown, out-of-proportion crap. The thing that they keep pushing, for many years, is that I have a bad memory. It’s my name I came up with, my ideas, my money that I had from a backer to start this band. They haven’t been able to do that, because I’m the guitar player. “I don’t really know if I should say this, but… Those guys have been hammering on me since ’87, trying to replace me. Now, during a new interview with Variety, the guitarist further commented on the situation, saying that he carried the band for years. Earlier today (April 6), Mick Mars made headlines after suing Mötley Crüe over tour profits and accusing them of using pre-recorded tracks at live shows.
