In the last few months, some sources suggested that the release of Mick Mars’ new album, ‘Another Side Of Mars,’ faced some setbacks from Mötley Crüe with the effect of their ongoing dispute. The guitarist recently hinted at being ready to break his silence about these speculations by starting a countdown for the record on X.
Through the platform, Mars pointed out a Halloween release for ‘Another Side Of Mars’ by posting a video showing a sentence that read ‘Counting down 13 days.’ He avoided offering additional details, but his past interviews revealed the record’s track list, as he told Rolling Stone:
“This is a song I wrote called ‘Killing Breed.’ It’s about narcissists that keep you pinned down and make you feel crazy.”
Other titles in Mars’ new record read ‘Broken on the Inside,’ ‘Alone,’ ‘Lonely in Your Grave,’ ‘Loyal to the Lie,’ ‘Decay,’ ‘Fear,’ ‘Memories,’ and ‘Erased.’
The guitarist’s fans expected to hear these tracks live after the release, but he made it clear that he wouldn’t go on a tour to support ‘Another Side Of Mars’ due to his health problems by saying:
“I’m done touring. If somebody really, really wants a one-off or a couple of nights, I would probably do it. But all that travel stuff and planes, I’m way over it.”
That’s why, as they reacted to the new post about the album, one of Mars’ followers wrote on X:
“When I saw the announcement at the show at Comerica Park in Detroit, I was pumped, hoping you’d do a solo tour. Sorry to hear that isn’t happening, but still looking forward to hearing the music.”
