Mars signed with Cherry Lane in early 2007 after spending more than 20 years working with Warner Chappell.

In announcing the signing back in April 2007, Richard Stumpf, SVP of Creative Services & Marketing at Cherry Lane, noted, "It is a rare opportunity to work with someone of Mick Mars' caliber whose legendary hits have literally defined a generation. In talking to Mick, he made clear to me his interest in writing with other songwriters beyond his brothers in MÖTLEY CRÜE and I was extremely impressed by his eclectic songwriting styles. His history and talent will have a profound effect on new up-and-coming songwriters and recording artists. We already have him collaborating with some of our songwriter artists and we have lots of other sessions in the works. Soon Mick will be thought of as not only one of the legends from MÖTLEY CRÜE, but also as one of today's key songwriting collaborators."

The deal was negotiated by Stumpf and Keith Hauprich, VP of Business and Legal Affairs, from Cherry Lane and Dina LaPolt from LaPolt Law, P.C.

"Mick instantly connected with Cherry Lane and their pro-active approach to collaborative songwriting," stated attorney Dina LaPolt, who represents Mars and who was responsible for brokering the deal. Mars' agreement with Warner Chappell terminated on July 1, 2006. Mars added, "What excited me the most about Cherry Lane is that they were really interested in all the other types of songs that I write besides the traditional MÖTLEY CRÜE-type songs. I am really very thrilled with all that they are doing."

MÖTLEY CRÜE manager, Allen Kovac from 10th Street Entertainment, commented, "Mick has written and performed some of the most memorable riffs and solos in rock. He is truly a crown jewel in the world of guitarist."

Mick Mars' signature guitar sound has become a staple of American music and Mars has been deemed one of the world's greatest guitar players from critics around the globe to many recording artists and musicians who credit Mars as an influence, which include such notables as Slash, Joe Perry from AEROSMITH, Carmine Apice, Alice Cooper, BUCKCHERRY, and Marilyn Manson, just to name a few.
