Inside the Motley Crue Lawsuit: Dueling Perspectives from Manager and Lawyer

Motley Crue's manager and Mick Mars' lawyer have spoken out about the lawsuit filed by Mars against the band disputing the terms of his exit from the touring lineup. The lawsuit alleges that Mars was "unilaterally" removed from the band to trigger contract language regarding a resignation, meaning he would no longer be entitled to touring revenue. The band denies this and claims that they had to use pre-recorded tracks to patch over Mars' sloppy playing. The lawsuit also demands certain documents from the band, which they claim have already been provided. The band's world tour continues with John 5 filling in for Mars.
