Bob Daisley Convinced MÖTLEY CRÜE Not to Fire Mick Mars: “Do not try to fix something that is not broken!”

Jimmy Kay and Alan Dixon of The Metal Voice interviewed legendary songwriter and bassist Bob Daisley (Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath) about his Book ‘For Facts Sake’.

In this interview, Bob talks about convincing MÖTLEY CRÜE not to fire guitarist Mick Mars after Shout at The Devil album released. Check it out HERE.

When asked how he convinced Motley Crue not to fire Mick Mars:

“That night after the show Mick Mars went on our Bus (with Ozzy on the Bark at the Moon tour) and I went on their bus, so I was the only one from Ozzy that went on their bus. And they were having a meeting. What they were planning on doing was getting rid of Mick and getting another guitarist in and they asked me for my opinion. So, I said if you want my opinion for what it’s worth, I would say do not try to fix something that is not broken. I said I have seen it before with Lee Kerslake in the Blizzard of Ozz. I said you got a chemistry there; you got a functioning unit, Mick Mars is part of that don’t Fuc*k it up. Don’t do it. I think I saved Mick that night because they were serious about getting someone else. Mick was good for the band; he was part of the sound of the delivery of what they did.”
