Mick Mars’ split with Mötley Crüe has had more advantages than disadvantages for him, as he is now ‘out of the Mötley Crüe box.’
In a new interview with FOX17, the rocker talked about his most recent solo record, ‘The Other Side Of Mars.’ While reminiscing about today’s music and its less ‘diversity,’ Mars explained the diversity of his album:
“Diversity is, not always, but is missing nowadays. I purposely wrote this way, in this manner, to take you on a little short journey. Every song you hear, you’re imagining or seeing a different landscape or whatever; it’s a music scape, I guess. But I wanted to put that across to show that I’m not just this [one-dimensional player and songwriter].”
After receiving a comment on being more free after contributing to a world-renowned band for years, the rocker continued:
“I feel more like I’m free to do whatever. […] There’s a billion different things that you can do, and you stay in this little box. I can’t do that.”
The Next Album Is Already On The Way
Despite releasing the album just recently, Mars is already in the works for his second album. In his words, the next album will follow a slightly different direction regarding the sound compared to what he did on ‘The Other Side Of Mars.’
During the same interview, Dahl commented that Mars’s announcement about working on his second solo album was ‘a heck of a pace’ considering his recent solo album release. Mars responded:
“Not really, because things have been floating around for quite a while. I was very dedicated to my band. And so it’s, like, when I’m freed up to do what it is that I can do, ‘The Other Side Of Mars’ comes out of it.”
