Guitarist Mick Mars, who cofounded Mötley Crüe in 1981, has filed a lawsuit against the band, claiming they ousted him from the group and cut him out of profits.
Mars accuses Sixx of “gaslighting” him in the suit, alleging that Sixx would tell him he “had some sort of cognitive dysfunction, and that his guitar playing was subpar, claiming that Mars forgot chords, and sometimes started playing the wrong songs.”
After the band decided to embark on the Stadium Tour, which was originally 12 dates, Mars told the group it would be his last tour, but that he would be open to performing at concerts that didn’t require much travel. He claims the band’s management told him the proposed arrangement would work. Then the 12 dates became 36, and Mars nevertheless continued.
Throughout the tour, Sixx allegedly continued gaslighting Mars about his playing, all while Sixx himself wasn’t playing the bass. “Astonishingly, Sixx made these claims about Mars’ playing while he did not play a single note on bass during the entire U.S. tour,” the lawsuit states. “Ironically, 100% of Sixx’s bass parts were nothing but recordings. Sixx was seen fist pumping in the air with his strumming hand, while the bass part was playing.
“In fact, a significant portion of Neil’s vocals were also pre-recorded,” it continues. “Even some of Lee’s drum parts were recordings. Some fans actually noticed that Lee was walking toward his drum set as they heard his drum part begin.”The guitarist played his last gig with the band on September 9, 2022. He alleges that a little over a month later, an attorney gave him paperwork that effectively cut him out of the group and its businesses.
