In 2016, he released samples of&nbsp;two songs&nbsp;featuring short-lived Motley Crue singer&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/john-corabi\/\" target=\"_blank\">John Corabi<\/a>, though Mars later said that the collaboration \u201cwent away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MickMarscrue.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"534\" height=\"356\"  data-gnlv=\"hey\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MickMarscrue.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106171\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5;width:617px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MickMarscrue.jpg 534w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MickMarscrue-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In 2019, Mars&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/mick-mars-solo-album-harder-than-motley-crue\/\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a>&nbsp;he was in the early stages of recording his solo project but was still searching for a singer. He also name-dropped a surprising influence. \u201cI would like to have a few different singers \u2014 different sounds, but musician singers. This is gonna sound crazy \u2014 like with the&nbsp;Beatles. The three guys sang all these harmonies, and you could have&nbsp;John [Lennon]&nbsp;sing on a song, or&nbsp;Ringo [Starr], or whoever. But that kind of a thing is kind of what I\u2019m going for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Mars\u2019 solo debut finally seemed to be nearing completion in 2023. In June, Mars revealed that the album would be called\u00a0The O<em>ther Side of Mars<\/em>\u00a0(with Jacob Bunton on vocals) and named a handful of tracks, including \u201cBroken on the Inside,\u201d \u201cAlone,\u201d \u201cLonely in Your Grave,\u201d \u201cLoyal to the Lie,\u201d \u201cDecay,\u201d \u201cFear,\u201d \u201cMemories\u201d and \u201cErased.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also slyly suggested that one song was about his Motley Crue bandmates. \u201cThis is a song I wrote called \u2018Killing Breed,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about narcissists that keep you pinned down and make you feel crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MickMarsguitaricon-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"568\"  data-gnlv=\"hey\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MickMarsguitaricon-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106177\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.5633802816901409;width:329px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MickMarsguitaricon-2.jpg 320w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MickMarsguitaricon-2-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/center><center>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTheMetalDen%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02SN5eo5TGG1o1sJ1xQbUgRKPPD3PKpWS2c78rym1J1eo4gL3x7wwvVjNmBHYj66XMl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n<p><\/p><\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE&nbsp;guitarist&nbsp;Mick Mars&nbsp;will drop his long-awaited first single off his forthcoming debut solo album&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106176,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=106169"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106358,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106169\/revisions\/106358"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/106176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=106169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=106169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=106169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
