One of Motley Crue‘s co-founders, Mick Mars has released a solo single, titled “Loyal To The Lie.”

About that, he laughed and said, “I wanted to do something that was just big and mean. I am what I am. Nobody else can do it. And like everyone, I’ve got a limited number of years. So, I’m gonna do all I can to do a lot of stuff.”

After touring for more than 40 years, Mars stepped back from the road, but is still a member of the Crue.

His debut solo album, The Other Side Of Mars, will be out on February 23.
