Now, the Crüe are far from the only band to have been said to use backing tracks live. “He was playing live, and his in-ear monitors were constantly malfunctioning, causing Mars to be unable to hear his own instrument.” “Mars, at times on the tour, did play the wrong chords, but not due to any cognitive dysfunction,” the 28-page petition says. Interestingly, as if to blunt pushback from the filing, the now Nashville-based Mars does admit he wasn’t always on the right power chord during his last few months with the band. Some fans actually noticed that Lee was walking toward his drum set as they heard his drum part begin. Even some of Lee’s drum parts were recordings. In fact, a significant portion of Neil’s vocals were also pre-recorded. Sixx was seen fist pumping in the air with his strumming hand, while the bass part was playing. Ironically, 100% of Sixx’s bass parts were nothing but recordings.

Sixx’s gaslighting came to a crescendo during the stadium tour, when he, knowing that this was Mars’s last tour as a result of his increasingly painful and debilitating AS, and apparently already plotting to force him out of the band and take his shares, repeatedly told Mars that he was playing the wrong chords, and that fans were complaining about his playing.Īstonishingly, Sixx made these claims about Mars’s playing while he (Sixx) did not play a single note on bass during the entire U.S. stadium dates would be his last shows while touring, the 12 anticipated shows ultimately expanded to 36 shows, and Mars performed at every single one of them, in constant pain. The bad blood that led to today’s pulling back of the rock veil on the rest of the Crüe seems to have started last year, when Mars, who suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, told the boys and management that he wouldn’t be going on the road with them anymore:Īlthough Mars had indicated that the 12 U.S. Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer Regrets Buying Tumblr Instead Of Netflix Or Hulu As It "Would Have Been A Better Acquisition"
