Mötley Crüe Lose Battle in Ongoing War With Mick Mars

A judge sided with Mick Mars Tuesday, ruling he had no choice but to sue his Motley Crue bandmates and is therefore entitled to attorney fees

Mick Mars scored a victory in his ongoing legal battle with Mötley Crüe Tuesday when a Los Angeles judge agreed that the rock veterans had unjustly “refused” to cough up the dirt on its wide-ranging business dealings as it simultaneously sought to oust its founding guitarist early last year. That “proved to be wrong,” Judge Chalfant wrote, pointing to articles of incorporation and income tax returns that only arrived among 1,372 pages of records delivered in early December. In his public lawsuit filed last April, Mars made it clear he felt betrayed by Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil and Tommy Lee, who each are 25 percent shareholders in most of the band’s entities.
