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.
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.
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.
I'm really a cool, mellow guy. I'm not as crazy as everybody thinks.
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.
The quad toms are a completely different animal than the standard drum set/trap kit. Playing wise and stylistically, they are two different beasts.
I find that doing the drums last, coming from a drum history, really works well for me.
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.
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.
I just write... if it's really good, it's going on the record. If it's average, it's going in the trash.
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.
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.
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.
Single's fun - you don't have to check in with your girl, but it's not easy. I do get lonely.
That's the good part of having my past follow me, is that sometimes some of that stuff can help.
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.
Getting married in four days was the biggest... mistake I've ever made. I have two beautiful kids, but... how can you know somebody in four days? Bonehead.
Aerosmith's 'Rocks' is on the list of my top favorite albums of all time.
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.
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.
