MUSICAL GUEST: Tom Keifer
When asked how it feels to be on That Metal Show vs being on David Letterman, Keifer responded… “it feels good to not be in HD tonight.” He is still touring in support of his first solo record The Way Life Goes. He will be continuing the solo tour this year and releasing more singles from the record. Keifer was playing a very cool guitar made out of metal. The only Cinderella performance this year will be on the Monsters Of Rock Cruise. However, half of his solo set consists of Cinderella favorites.

GUEST: Mick Mars
Eddie called Mick the unsung hero of Mötley Crüe. Mars revealed that he has been writing with others, and will be releasing his own material in conjunction with a book when the band’s final tour is completed. Although there is some skepticism on the part of the guys, Mars swears that this will be the end of Mötley Crüe. He said that the band truly wants to go out on top.
Mars revealed that he thought about leaving the band during the Generation Swine days. He had a hard time coming up with guitar parts for the album. Contrary to rumors, he had no issue with John Corabi contributing guitar parts during his time in the band. In fact, it pushed him to be a better guitarist.
Eddie asked Mars about the final show ever for the band. He said that it will be in Los Angeles, and if he had his way, they would just shut down Sunset Strip with no permission or permits, set up on top of the Whiskey a Go Go and just play. While it’s unlikely that this will ever happen, it would be the coolest parting shot ever by a band that has made a living by breaking the rules.
When asked about what it felt like to open for Ozzy on the Shout At Devil Tour, Mars simply stated that he can’t remember much from those days because he was pretty high. He said that one of his favorite tours was with Mötley Crüe, Van Halen and AC/DC.
Mars discussed his health issues (he has been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis). For all of the pain that his condition causes him, Mars is in remarkably high spirits, and has chosen not to use painkillers to help him cope.
