Mick Mars

John 5 opens up about leaving Rob Zombie and joining Motley Crue.

Former Judas Priest guitarist says he's "going through exactly the same thing."

He did an interview a few hours after filing the lawsuit.

"I'm not backing down. I'm not gonna fold," guitarist says of looming legal battle with bandmates.

Band blames the guitarist's advisors, who they claim are "driven by greed."

Mars filed the lawsuit earlier today.

He retired from touring in October.

He also accuses his bandmates of onstage fakery during the 2022 Stadium Tour.

Motley Crue bassist dismisses suggestion from “washed up drummer” that guitarist was unhappy about Stadium Tour shows.

The guitarist was recently named Mick Mars' touring replacement.
