Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, Mars dropped out of high school and began playing guitar in a series of unsuccessful blues-based rock bands throughout the 1970s, sometimes using the name Zorky Charlemagne and occasionally taking on menial day jobs.

After nearly a decade of frustration with the California music scene, he reinvented himself, changing his name from Robert Deal to Mick Mars.

Although Mars used the wah sparing in the 1980s, he used a wah pedal to great effect on Motley Crue’s most recent album, Saints of Los Angeles, particularly on the song “Mutherfucker of the Year”.

What gauge strings does Mick Mars use?

Mars used the 10 through 48 for quite a while and then went up to 11.

He used the 11 through 50.

When he drops tune, he often uses 52-54 so as to generate just the right amount of that ballsy sound.

Mars announced through a rep on Oct. 28, 2022 that he will be unable to tour with the band he co-founded due to his struggle with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), an autoimmune disease.
