I alway liked Mick Mars, thought he was vastly under-rated.
During the early 80's when many bands had multiple guitar players,
he was one of the few who did both rhythm and leads,
so live performances could really bring out their talent.
Timing, going back and forth between rhythm and lead is an art form.



His unique sound sort of formed the metal genre sounds of the early 1980's.
It was good to hear that the Crüe were finally recognized forever
as a metal force of the 80's by gaining the exclusive and elusive Sony
contract to be included in Rockstar Games' 2002 release of GTA:Vice City.
Set in early 80's coke-trafficking of Florida, the song "Too Young to Fall in Love"
was featured on the game's playlist for metal station V-Rock.
Their addition was perfect for the soundtrack.
