Mick Mars was raised in several places before his parents settled in Garden Grove, California. Mick was not much of an academic, so was a bit rebellious and dropped out of school to concentrate on music, and initially was involved in several unsuccessful heavy metal, glam metal, and hard rock bands, while also doing various menial jobs to earn a living.
After ten years of this life, Mick adopted his stage name, changed his appearance by dyeing the hair black and moved to Los Angeles. He was noticed by Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx who had founded the band Mötley Crüe. In 1981 the band announced themselves, including Mick Mars as the guitarist, Tommy Lee the drummer, Nikki Sixx the bassist and Vince Neil the vocalist of the band. This was certainly the start of Mick Mars’ net worth rising. Up to 1983 the band successfully introduced themselves to the world of entertainment. Their first album “Too Fast for Love” (1981) was certified platinum in the United States of America. The second album entitled “Shout at the Devil” (1983) was certified four times platinum in the USA, gold in Australia and three times platinum in Canada. The years from 1984 to 1991 might be called the rise to international fame of the band. After showing up in various festivals and on television the band became famous quickly as they stood out from the crowd with their disgraceful clothing, high heeled boots and shocking make up. This bad side was worse, as the members got hooked on alcohol and drugs, but still, their albums “Theatre of Pain” (1985), “Girls, Girls, Girls” (1987), and “Dr. Freegood” (1989) received certificates for sales and achieved high positions on charts all over the world.
From 1992 to 2003, the band experienced lots of changes, as well as ups and downs in popularity. However, in 2004 the band managed to reunite and renew their success.
