Mötley Crüe have declared themselves the victors in their legal battle with former guitarist Mick Mars, following a ruling by an arbitrator. AdvertisementAs for Mars, the guitarist had demanded to continue receiving 25% of touring revenue in perpetuity despite his decision to retire from touring in 2022. That resulted in a net-positive judgment in favor of Mötley Crüe. Furthermore, Mars’ claims that the band played to pre-recorded tracks live was also debased following testimony from Mars’ own retained expert, a New York University professor specializing in music technology. “This dispute was about protecting the integrity and legacy of one of the most successful bands in rock history,” Frid said.
