Mick Mars released the official music video for "Undone" this Thursday, the 25th. It's the third single from his upcoming solo album, titled The Other Side Of Mars , which will be released on February 23rd by 1313 LLC – Mick's own label – in partnership with MRI.
The Other Side Of Mars Mötley Crüe guitarist and his first since leaving the band. The album features Jacob Bunton , who has worked with Steven Adler (former Guns N' Roses ) and Tom Keifer Cinderella vocalist ), and who sings on all 12 songs except "Undone" and "Killing Breed," which feature Brion Gamboa . Other guests on the album include keyboardist Paul Taylor ( Winger /ex- Alice Cooper) , drummer Ray Luzier ( Korn ), and bassist Chris Collier —who is also credited with mixing and mastering.
“I know a lot of people were probably expecting something more blues-oriented or some kind of extension of Mötley Crue,” Mars told Chris Akin Presents , “And I wanted to go in a completely different direction, instead of the more well-known way. I wanted to go somewhere with it. I didn’t know if it would work or not. The scariest part about doing this stuff is because the tone of my guitar is associated with the Mötley Crue sound. I was kind of worried about that, so I just played around a bit more. And it worked for me.”

Mick Mars and leaving Mötley Crüe
In 2022, Mick Mars, co-founder of Mötley Crüe, announced his retirement from performing live due to his painful battle with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), but that he would continue with the band in studio recordings.
In 2023, Mars filed a lawsuit against the band , of which he had been a member for the past 41 years, alleging financial losses and claiming that the members of Mötley Crüe expelled him in a "unilateral decision."
