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.
What I wanna do with Methods is keep that around as sorta my freak out, creative free for all- anything goes project.
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.
If it's successful and it sounds awesome, and looks killer live, then I guess I can pat myself on the back and take all the credit too.
The only thing that's changed for me is that I've figured out a new way to do this; when I go to record, I like to do the drums last, if that makes any sense to you.
The Radiohead record, 'The Bends' is my all-time favorite record on the planet.
Imagine how frustrating it is, being completely locked up and watching your family leave, your wife and children, and not being able to do anything about it.
I don't think anybody should ever touch anybody in anger, ever.
That's the good part of having my past follow me, is that sometimes some of that stuff can help.
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.
But you know what I'm trying to say, it's that there's a couple of really dangerous drugs out there and I've lost some friends to them.
Once the song is done and recorded, I like to go back and then cut the drums, because then I know exactly what the song needs, and what it doesn't need.
I just write... if it's really good, it's going on the record. If it's average, it's going in the trash.
I find that doing the drums last, coming from a drum history, really works well for me.
The quad toms are a completely different animal than the standard drum set/trap kit. Playing wise and stylistically, they are two different beasts.
It's always interesting to me that we all hear music differently. It's an awesome experience to hear what other people hear.
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.
There's Tommy, Tommy Lee the rock star, and Tommy the dad. I'm wearing several hats these days.
One day I would love to do rock a gig on the moon - how rad would that be? Isn't Richard Branson flying planes to outer space? Mötley Crüe could be the first band to play on the moon.
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.
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.
Sometimes when you cut your bed tracks right off the bat, you don't really know where the vocal is landing and where the background vocals are, and other loops and stuff that are going on.
Aerosmith's 'Rocks' is on the list of my top favorite albums of all time.
You know what, I just write what I feel.
Single's fun - you don't have to check in with your girl, but it's not easy. I do get lonely.
