You know, Mick Mars doesn't get enough recognition as it is, this guy is one of the most creative guitarists that the 80's had to offer. And being that Jeff Beck was his primary influence its not surprise that this guy plays straight from the heart. I know with the whole over excessive lifestyle of the 80's alot of people refuse to take this guy seriously, but theres more than meets the eye. Whatever happens during the day, at the end of the day during practice sessions I always find myself throwing in a few Motley riffs here and there...What an awesome band...
