There’s Tommy, Tommy Lee the rock star, and Tommy the dad. I’m wearing several hats these days.
It sounds kind of strange, but Jail time was almost a good experience for me.
I don’t listen to anybody’s full record anymore and when I did, I don’t think I listened to the whole record. I’m sorry, and I don’t care who it is, if it’s the Beatles, I can’t listen to an hour and a half of anybody straight so I guess that’s just my personal preference.
Just because we are wearing lipstick doesn’t mean we can’t kick your ass!
I start my own frat, and try out for the women’s swim team.
I’m happy doing what I’m doing, and if you have that kind of attitude then everything else from there on is a bonus.
I was just reading some poetry, and it talked about how things start as one thing and change into another, and I just thought, what a great concept for a song.
I think that when I did the Methods Of Mayhem record, some of the hip-hop stuff probably freaked a lot of Motley Crue fans out.
I don’t have a problem with my temper.
I don’t think anybody should ever touch anybody in anger, ever.
I’m really a cool, mellow guy. I’m not as crazy as everybody thinks.
When I’m single, I’m one guy, and when I’m in a relationship I’m totally another. They’re both a good time.
You know what’s weird, I just write to write, with no intention, I just write.
At 17, I signed a recording contract right out of high school, so I started touring and traveling the world. I sort of missed out on the college experience.
Being married to two extremely high profile, you know, actresses, and being sort of chased by, you know, paparazzi and people, it’s a whole different dynamic happens to a relationship when that happens. All of a sudden, things get a little crazy, a little crazy.
I’ve always loved the mixture of crushing live drums with a programmed groove, that really cool blend, like in the verse there’s a really funky drum beat that is programmed then it comes in to the chorus; you’ve got that enormous human feel where the band kicks in.
I don’t really put too much emphasis on what somebody else might think of it. Otherwise your putting limits on yourself.
Single’s fun – you don’t have to check in with your girl, but it’s not easy. I do get lonely.
I lived up on Kanan and Mulholland. It’s a bit of a drive, but once you get there, the horses, vineyards, it’s just so peaceful.
I still play but for some reason, I am having so much fun playing guitar and singing that I don’t really miss it because I’ve done it for so long like twenty-something years with Motley.
Whenever I write, I only write about what I know or what I have experienced or feeling.
