The drama between Mötley Crüe and guitarist Mick Mars continues with bassist Nikki Sixx taking a verbal jab against Mars’s legal team.

When asked in a new interview what was one of the funniest things he’s heard about the Crue, Sixx said, “I mean, the silliest thing I’ve ever read about ourselves was from Mick Mars’s attorneys…They put out that the band doesn’t play live. We’re, like, who is playing the bass then? It’s literally one of the funniest things.”

Mars retired from touring with Mötley Crüe in October 2022. Since then, he’s filed a lawsuit against the band accusing them of removing him as a stakeholder in the band’s business dealings.

In the lawsuit, Mars claimed he was the only member of Mötley Crüe to play live during his last tour with the band. Meanwhile, the band says backing tracks were needed for Mars, whose playing they say has deteriorated.
