Last month, M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong>‘s former guitarist Mick Mars<\/strong>, 71, got everyone’s attention when the iconic shredder filed a lawsuit against his ex-bandmates, alleging widespread use of backing tracks during live performances and accusing bassist Nikki Sixx<\/strong> of manipulating him into thinking he had lost cognitive abilities and guitar skills. All of this was predicted and exposed ultimately to the world by legendary rock journalist Randy “Rocket” Cody<\/strong> of TheMetalDen.com<\/strong> far before it was ever admitted to or confirmed by Nikki Sixx<\/strong> and the Crue’s shady manager or the fake mainstream news media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong> has gone into damage control mode as fans begin to unleash their wrath against the glam metal band for betraying them, and telling non stop lies over and over again, in attempt to cover up the shady antics of Sixx and Allen Kovac<\/strong>, the band’s unscrupulous manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans will recall the big blow up for the glam metal rockers came when drummer Carmine Appice revealed that Mick Mars was not happy with how The Stadium Tour concerts were executed for the fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his lawsuit<\/a>, Mick<\/strong> alleges that M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong> reduced his share of earnings from 25 percent to a mere 5 percent after revealing his decision to withdraw from touring. Additionally, he states that the group\u2019s attorneys made him feel as if he should appreciate this minimal portion, as they believed they had no obligation to provide him with anything. Mick<\/strong> also asserts that a complete band gathering took place where they chose to \u201cunilaterally\u201d exclude him from M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mick<\/strong>\u00a0consistently alleged that bassist\u00a0Nikki Sixx<\/strong>\u00a0was \u201cgaslighting\u201d him by suggesting his guitar abilities were declining due to Mars being “too old” in Sixx’s eyes, even though\u00a0Sixx<\/strong>\u00a0didn\u2019t \u201cplay a single note on bass\u201d throughout a recent tour, as stated by the guitarist.\u00a0Mick<\/strong>\u00a0stated in the lawsuit that all of\u00a0Nikki<\/strong>\u2018s segments were pre-recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong> responded to accusations of utilizing pre-recorded backing tracks during live performances in the comments area of a Facebook post<\/a> shared yesterday (May 1). The post showcased a brief clip of Tommy Lee<\/strong> playing the drums at a concert held at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA on August 27, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band responded to a comment from a fan, who wrote: \u201cSaw the backing tracks tour last yr and paid dearly to see it. It\u2019s a hard NO for me this time around\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Band then responded: \u201cTHIS IS THE SUMMER TOUR FOOTAGE FOR F*CKS SAKE. THERE WERE NO BACKING TRACKS FOR BAND MEMBERS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the screen shot below for the ‘blow by blow’ of the brutal interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixx is just telling more lies to cover up the ugly truth. The fact is TMD broke the shocking news to the world last year when Rocket of TMD caught Tommy Lee fake drumming <\/a>and the news story was picked up by all the iHeart radio stations across America, as well as a hundred plus rock\/metal webzines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
