Ex-MÖTLEY CRÜE Singer John Corabi Reveals He Helped Save Mick Mars Record Label, Claims They Will Collaborate Again

Former MÖTLEY CRÜE singer John Corabi has taken part in a new online interview, and has shocked fans with the new revelations as to the potential future collaboration between he and ousted Crue guitarist Mick Mars, 73.

In a new interview with Total Rock, Corabi reflected on working with Mick Mars to save his record label.

“He had trademarked his record label, it is called 1313 Records,” he said. “When you trademark something, even if you pay you fill out the paperwork, all the stuff, you have six months or a year or 18 months you have to do something. So he contacted me, I don’t know what the laws are in America, but when he asked me to do those songs.”

A rumor has begun to spread that if Mick scores a legal upset in his lawsuit versus the Crue for “ripping off his profits” he could secure what is called “Majority shareholder” status and gain control of the glam metal band that he originally named himself. Insiders say that Corabi would be rehired again to front a new version of the Crue in 2025, believe it or not.

“It was basically like, ‘Hey Corabi, do me a favor. I got these two tunes, my trademarks are about the expire if I don’t do something. I love these two songs, but I’m not crazy about how they turned out. I would love for you to sing them,’” Corabi recalled Mars’ words. “So I just say, ‘Yes sure buddy.’ I went into the studio with him, we hung out for a couple of days, and I just sang the two songs, and I think I think what he had to do was some sort of public statement, so he just did a video, and he put some music out there, and it was like a coming soon thing. Everybody went crazy like, ‘Oh my God, Corabi and Mars are working together.’”

The rockers recorded two songs together back in 2016 — ‘Gimme Blood’ and ‘Shake The Cage.’ It has been eight years since the release of “teasers” for the songs, and now, Corabi wants to record possibly a blues-inspired album with Mars.

“I told Mick, I said, ‘Dude, if you ever wanna write, man, f*cking count me in,’” Corabi said of a possible new project during another interview. “I’ve been trying to talk him into doing something a little left of what he did, which is… Anybody that knows Mick Mars knows that he’s a blues guy. He grew up on Jeff Beck, John Mayall, Leslie West, Jimmy Page, all this cool sh*t.”

“So I was trying to get him to just, ‘Let’s sit down and write a record of riffs, like, for example, ‘Never In My Life’ by Mountain.’ I go, ‘Dude, your tone, those kind of riffs, and I’ll sing on it and we’ll just do a really heavy blues record.’ And he seemed like he was into it. But who knows? We’ll see [if we get] to it. I’m just happy that Mick put his record out. I’m sorry he’s going through all this sh*t with the band. But hopefully they’ll figure it all out,” the rocker added.

Mick Mars released his solo album ‘The Other Side Of Mars’ on February 23 this year. Even though he worked with Corabi earlier, the rocker admitted that it was the right decision to not have Corabi sing on the album. Mars worked with names like Paul Taylor, Korn drummer Ray Luzier, and Brion Gamboa.
