Mick Mars Sues Mötley Crüe for Tour Profits and Pre-Recorded Bass Tracks.
Mötley Crüe guitarist Mick Mars has filed a profits participation lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that bandmates Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, and Tommy Lee have been fake-playing and pre-recording some of their vocals for the tour. Mars also claims that Sixx repeatedly told him he was playing the wrong chords during the tour, while Sixx himself did not play a single note on bass, and Neil's vocals were also pre-recorded. The lawsuit aims to provide Mars with access to documents related to the band's various holdings, of which he is a 25% owner/participant.
