By far the most talented person in the band Mötley Crue might be calling it quits soon, but guitarist Mick Mars has no plans of slowing his roll musically. Mars appeared on the March 3 episode of the Eddie Trunk show Trunk Nation where he spilled the beans about the project, according to Blabbermouth.
Mars talks about how he's really trying to hone his music down to the best stuff he can muster and then find a vocalist to work their magic over top of it. I'm actually fairly stoked on the idea of Mars doing a solo thing because the dude has some serious talent on guitar and as a songwriter in general. It's nice that he's actually taking his time on the music too and not just throwing something out there knowing it'll sell because of who he is.
"I can honestly say that I am going to release at least an EP. As far as a whole album right now, I won't release a whole album 'till I think every single one of my songs is an 'A' song. And I've got a shitload of songs, and they're all 'B' songs, 'C' songs… I'll give them to, like, baby bands coming up, TV commercials, movies, soundtracks, whatever the heck, but I will not put them on my record until I believe in my heart that they're 'A' songs, that when you hear them, you have to have all of them. You know what I mean? No fillers. If I hear a filler in there or anything I think is a filler? No. But then, who am I to judge? Then you release singles.
"I have about six songs… I mean, I have way, way more than that, but they're all, like… to me, they don't matter. They're laying there. I mean, stacks. And I have a studio in my house, of course, and I go down there almost every day. And just in the past week or so, I've written six new songs which I believe are pretty much on their way to being 'A' songs. But I just need someone to come in and help me, not arrange, by any means… I know what I'm hearing and I know what I wanna hear. It's, like, [I need] a guy to help me [lay vocals on top of it]… 'cause I'm not a singer."
