Your Curated Tumblr Experience Awaits!
Mick Mars - Blog Posts
I did my best to try and find the rest of this interview, and I did find some information, but not the whole thing.
This interview was conducted by Lonn M. Friend, RIP Magazine's Editor In Chief, supposedly in August of 1991 when Crue was in England for Monsters of Rock. I found this out by sourcing the origin of the photo you posted, which was by this fan blog online. (While the name is correct due to cross referencing, I'm not entirely sure about the dates. It's an unreliable source.)
I tried to go through RIP Magazine's website to see if they have a historical catalog of their old releases like Creem or Rock Scene does, but all they have on their page is merch. You can find that here.
I'd likely have to locate a copy for sale on something like Ebay.
Which I did.
It's the February 1992 release featuring Skid Row, Nirvana, Metallica, Crue and more. You can see the title "Mick Mars: The Most Popular Unpopular Guy In Rock." on the index page, on the third row on the third page photographed in the listing.
You can find that Ebay listing here. It's $21.99 + shipping.
Another Mick Interview??
Found this the other day, unfortunately i don’t have the rest of this interview (which i so desperately want!!), but take what i have as consolation!
just a couple of observations, i like how the interviewer was like “micks such a chill guy, so nonviolent and just cool,” and then it cuts to mick threatening to beat up a frisbee player. plus, micks hotel room being the cleanest out of all of theirs just makes sense to me. like that’s so on brand for him!
oh! and… stinky trousers?? what’s that supposed to mean?? (also peep mick once again trashing rehabs just like he did in the book. if i can guess what else he was going to say, after it cuts off ofc, he was probably gonna get a hit in at therapists as well! he’s so averse to the whole rehab and therapy thing.) finally, bonus points for mick casually over exaggerating how his body looked in the mid-eighties.
I think this could be solved if we all mutually agree, as a community (because that's what we are) that everyone has different tastes and objectively, everyone is simultaneously hot and ugly.
Say Nikki Sixx is the hottest in Motley Crue and no one bats an eye
Say mick mars is the hottest in motley Crüe and SOCIETY!!
Helping Nikki After his OD
(Reader been besties with Nikki since 1975 and goes to his house after the news of his death)
- once you got into the house you felt his presence but he wasn’t here no more
- you wondered around looking at phots of his from Vince egging him on to do something stupid to you and him when y’all was 14 and 17.
- You wondered from room to room trying to feel something only to have tears go down your face again.
- finally you get to his room and see Nikki laying on the bed with tears in his eyes.
- You are shocked beyond anything on this earth. Your best friend isn’t dead but he looks like he’s been through hell.
- You immediately hug him while he gently hugs back.
- You started to ask questions then realize he wasn’t up for it. You gently got into his arms and he shifted so he’s on top of you and you’re holding him
- it was Christmas Eve the next morning and Nikki still asleep on you. Trying not to wake him up climb out of bed down to the kitchen to make him something.
- you decided Nikki’s favorite breakfast item.
- you took it up to him and the smell of it woke him up. He looked at you like you are Godsend which you are.
- you bring him presents back from your moms house. Your mom got him lots and so did you.
- he loved every gift.
- he kept hugging you over and over with excitement.
- little did you know he would make you his girlfriend next year.
