    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?

      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.
