When asked about the delay in releasing \u201cThe Other Side Of Mars,\u201d he explained, \u201cThere were a lot of stumbling blocks! [laughs]\u2026 I started writing this stuff during The Final Tour [2014-2015] with M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE. Then that TV show [The Dirt] came out, so we went back to playing. I had a lot of stuff written at that time but I couldn\u2019t get it finished. Then there was another stumbling block because I gave the record to a distribution company who didn\u2019t distribute, so I had to get it back, and it took me a little while to do that, but it\u2019s okay!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Mars also mentioned that he\u2019s all about new ideas now and stated, \u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to do this solo thing for a very long time. First thing\u2019s first, there are always priorities, I had to do stuff with M\u00d6TLEY\u2026 now it\u2019s my time! In fact, I\u2019m already working on my next album. Why stop the momentum, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">When asked if his project is a band or a project with revolving members, Mars clarified, \u201cIt isn\u2019t really a band. I\u2019ve hired some singers \u2013 Jacob Bunton did a lot of stuff, Brion Gamboa is also on the record\u2026 They have pretty different voices. Brion had a little more angst for those two particular songs. I hired in Paul Taylor [WINGER, Alice Cooper, Steve Perry] to do keyboards and also write with me. He knew Brion and brought him in, and the best part is Brion did those songs in just one take, which was unreal! I had to say \u2018Please don\u2019t do it again!\u2019 I knew we could correct any off-notes if needed, though there weren\u2019t any. Those first takes made me go, \u2018Oh, man!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTheMetalDen%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0Dxcb3pxCPBuuc39gv7JFJDMqVRMiUuJmMudcru5ZghkH419GqtmPbDeNTHDrDLMbl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"463\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n<\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mick Mars, the renowned ex-M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE guitarist, recently unleashed the first single from his upcoming&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106615,"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-106613","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\/106613","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=106613"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106613\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106623,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106613\/revisions\/106623"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/106615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=106613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=106613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=106613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
