Mick Mars (born Robert (Bob) Alan Deal, May 4, 1951 in Terre Haute, Indiana) is the guitar player for hair metal band Mötley Crüe.

Mars played in several unsuccessful blues based rock bands throughout the seventies. In April of 1981 he composed a want-ad in the Los Angeles "Recycler" newspaper that read, "Loud, rude, and aggressive guitar player available". Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee contacted him and the three decided to form a band together. They were joined later that month by local singer/frontman Vince Neil. It was Mick's suggestion that the band's name be Mötley Crüe.
