Carmine Appice let the cat out of the bag a few weeks ago. I can't believe they dumped Mick for the personality and riff-vacuum that is John 5.

No interest in the has-been crue but still John 5 has been a dirty word since the late 90s

I don't listen to Crue or Manson or Rob Zombie, but I find a lot of John 5's solo stuff to be quite enjoyable.

Time for Mick and Corabi to get something going

Think John 5 is a terrible guitarist. Plus he tries to play up this badass, kind of evil image, when even a cursory YouTube search reveals he the most bland human being on the planet.

Loved Mick's raw playing. Not much skill, but I don't entirely disagree with his carrying Motley Crue sentiment, in terms of their sound at least.

QuoteL.A. GUNS frontman Phil Lewis weighed in on Mick Mars's recent lawsuit against MÖTLEY CRÜE in which the 71-year-old musician claimed that he was the only bandmember to play 100 percent live on CRÜE's 2022 tour, alleging that bassist Nikki Sixx "did not play a single note on bass during the entire U.S. tour." Phil said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "It's incorrigible, isn't it? It really is. It's such a swindle. But it's probably a lot better. I mean, they'd probably sound like utter shit if they were live, with the big stadium and the big lights and Vince [Neil] singing in the way that we've come to know and love.

"They really are a fucking atrocious band; they always have been," Phil continued. "And the only good player, the only good one in the band, has been very unceremoniously dismissed.

"I never liked them. I never did. I never bought one of their records. I loathed 'Girls, Girls, Girls'; I hated all of it. Occasionally I caught the attention of Nikki, and he doesn't like me. I'm a sad little pumpkin as to what he thinks about me. I just find him to be a big fraud.

"It's a punishment of luxury — somebody that became a millionaire at such an early age that they never really developed social skills," Lewis added. "It's like taking a bird out of a nest when it's not ready to fly; it won't develop. And I don't think, really, that any of them... The three of them aren't very well socially developed. They're not very good. And Mick's a different category entirely because he was so much older before success.

"Success can be a punishment quite often. And in their case it must just be so painful right now having been idolized for so long and now to called out as frauds, essentially as instrument-holding MILLI VANILLI, as a disgrace. They've gotta be hurting real bad."

You know you've reached a low ebb when a cunt from LA Guns thinks they can have a go at you.

I would 100% believe that about Nikki Sixx not playing a single note, he's always been a massive fraud and bullshitter. Kind of Gene Simmons-lite. But hey, these guys' priority is the money and they know how to make it.

Hey, hey- that's unfair! They are also motivated by pussy and drugs.

Having read The Dirt (which I doubt any of the band have - or can) I can confirm that to be the case. They're all idiots, and arsholes with it.

Vince doesn't sing a single fucking word of English  :laugh:

This is fucking terrible
