Interviews - Blog Posts

I did my best to try and find the rest of this interview, and I did find some information, but not the whole thing.

This interview was conducted by Lonn M. Friend, RIP Magazine's Editor In Chief, supposedly in August of 1991 when Crue was in England for Monsters of Rock. I found this out by sourcing the origin of the photo you posted, which was by this fan blog online. (While the name is correct due to cross referencing, I'm not entirely sure about the dates. It's an unreliable source.)

I tried to go through RIP Magazine's website to see if they have a historical catalog of their old releases like Creem or Rock Scene does, but all they have on their page is merch. You can find that here.

I'd likely have to locate a copy for sale on something like Ebay.

Which I did.

It's the February 1992 release featuring Skid Row, Nirvana, Metallica, Crue and more. You can see the title "Mick Mars: The Most Popular Unpopular Guy In Rock." on the index page, on the third row on the third page photographed in the listing.

You can find that Ebay listing here. It's $21.99 + shipping.

Another Mick Interview??

Found this the other day, unfortunately i don’t have the rest of this interview (which i so desperately want!!), but take what i have as consolation!

just a couple of observations, i like how the interviewer was like “micks such a chill guy, so nonviolent and just cool,” and then it cuts to mick threatening to beat up a frisbee player. plus, micks hotel room being the cleanest out of all of theirs just makes sense to me. like that’s so on brand for him!

oh! and… stinky trousers?? what’s that supposed to mean?? (also peep mick once again trashing rehabs just like he did in the book. if i can guess what else he was going to say, after it cuts off ofc, he was probably gonna get a hit in at therapists as well! he’s so averse to the whole rehab and therapy thing.) finally, bonus points for mick casually over exaggerating how his body looked in the mid-eighties.
