By "removed" you mean replaced with a different guitarist (John 5)?
If somebody can't play/tour, they get replaced - the show must go on and whatnot.
The problem here is that they used an old photo and shopped Mick Mars out and John5 in, because they either can't be bothered to take any new promo photos of the band, or the difference between how much better John 5 looks than the rest of those washed-up has-beens is so stark that they don't want to.
I did not know (or even notice) that was the case. Does it really matter?
I like Mick, and the rest of those guys are like... Legendary douchebags, so who's surprised?
True that. Shit, AC/DC had Axl Rose pop in for Brian Johnson when he had hearing issues. It happens all the time.
By "removed" I mean they clearly photoshopped Mick out of this photo. I have no problem with Motley Crue continuing on without him (other than Vince Neil being fucking awful). But take some new photos with the current band for fucks sake. Shopping a longtime band mate out is disrespectful, shitty, and mildly infuriating. Especially since he retired due to a painful and crippling disease.
That pic is definitely not photoshopped.
It was the first official photo they released after John5's joining was announced.
It is lame what they're doing to Mick in general though.
Well shit, guess I made some assumptions. Kind of kills even the mild fury.
Did Vince lose weight? He looks a lot better in this photo vs their last tour. Good for him if he did.
Indeed he did.
There were lots of articles about him struggling to do it before the stadium tours.
He's still not in great shape and from all accounts not performing very well live but that's what he is looking like now.
And if this is a promo pic for the tour, wouldn't advertising the band with a member that won't be there inaccurate marketing?
These guys aren't writing music anymore. They're going out and (mostly) playing to backing tracks and hamming it up for the crowd. The crowds know what they're getting and don't give a shit. Fools, money, soon to be parted, all that.
For what it's worth, I got this while browsing their catalog in my music app. All the music under the pic was with Mick.
