I used to drink more than a normal person can and use so many different drugs at a time that it would kill anybody else. I can tell you that it would actually make it easier doing this upside down solo on a bunch of stuff rather than sober.
I just woke up a hour ago and I saw an emty bottle of vodka 🥃 and a bottle of jack I just saw this in my watch history and rember nothing but a dream of fucking tommy lee
and also, to all of the people talking shit, of course it's not that exciting watching this video in 2013. see him play a solo live and you'll completely change. seeing his drum rollarcoaster was the absolute coolest thing i've ever seen in my life.
I wish I could’ve been there to see it. It’s a shame I was born when I was. I think I should’ve been born 50 years before I was. So 1956. I would’ve been able to live through the greatest eras of music in history. The 70s and 80s with the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. And the 90s with the birth of grunge. I could’ve seen my favorite bands perform. But I’m stuck here listening to a bunch of grown men scream the n word into a microphone that gets jacked up on autotune and has electronic music in the background. Today’s music doesn’t take skill, it takes a decent voice and a computer and you have an entire band. Hopefully bands like Greta Van Fleet bring real music back. They might be the second coming of rock. One can only hope.
My 13 year old son had to watch a drum solo for his music homework and I thought this would probably be the most inappropriate yet still fit all of the parameters of the assignment. We are still waiting for a comment or a grade on said homework but dad got an A for coolness.😆😆😆
I'm Randall from Dallas, Texas USA. I'm 61 years old now, but when I was younger I could play seven different instruments - and one of them were the drums. I have heard for the last 20+ years about Tommy Lee being lifted up and twirled around while playing the drums. At 5:45 pm, on Saturday April 30, 2022, I had a cell phone, and I remembered being told about Tommy's adventure. Well, to say the least, I looked it up - connected him with Motley Crew - and there he was. I had thought he was playing with the band but evidently, he was doing a drum solo. Yes, 33 years has passed since Tommy did that solo, and honestly, I can only say that my detainement, procrastination, tardiness or whatever you'd like to call it - was because I was in prison for 25 flat calendar years. Tommy Lee done a fabulous job by his performance as well as him talking to the multitude of people. I'm unsure now if he's still alive, but if he is, let me say, Tommy, you've done something so different - that I know the "Whole" world knew it happened whether they saw it or not.
Lol so fast 😂😂😂 very mediocre...he’s a kickass dude and not a bad drummer but any drummer will tell you this is nothing special...literally routine triplets...at a pretty manageable speed
Saw this tour, floor seat, he went right over me. Pretty cool stuff. I played the drums at the time. Can't imagine the challenges of playing while spinning. Another thing which made this cool was that people weren't used to seeing the drummer play from above or behind. No internet, cell phones, no "drum cams" for all to see. I used to have a giant mirror above my kit in the practice room, people would spend time staring in that mirror to see all my limbs moving separately, they had never seen the drums played like that.
"And in this fucking dream I had, man, I thought, 'Fuck, wouldn't it be cool to go just a little bit to the right!'" Words that will live with me till the day I die. I want that on my tombstone!
Agree! Wish the video was synced in time with the audio. But fucking WOW! He is a fucking insane drummer! I'd have loved to see this live in '87! I wasn't even born then though. Music is horrible now. Tommy Lee is a fucking legend!
I know I read somewhere that this whole idea came from the fact that when Tommy was younger and could only afford a cheap seat at a concert he could never see what the drummer was doing. He decided that wouldn't happen to other drummer fans once Motley Crue could afford something like this crazy contraption. Now they can see what he's doing behind the drums and besides, it's fun. No wireless either, just mic cords winding up each direction.
You can really see he is influenced by Bonzo with the triplets and stick twirling. Both drummers are rad but Bonzo is a god. Good job tommy sorry about your son knocking you out.
Let's just say that Tommy Lee did not get to the level that he did by 'sucking', he is a solid musician and better than 99.9% of the people on here talking shit!
I love to think somewhere out there are two parents listening to motley crue on the radio while taking care of their 1 year old daughter who, unbeknownst to them, will go on to date Tommy Lee
Andrew I got see Tommy at a Drum clinic some years back and I have to say the man had some ass kicking Snare drum chops to say the least and what even ceases to amaze me is players ( or those who claim to be) who says that Tommy has no groove or pocket presence. Really ? Well when I hear Dr. Feel Good the 1st thing jumps out is the groove and definitely his pocket
I saw this tour too. Whitesnake opened for the Crue. And Tommy Aldridge's drum solo kicked Lee's ass. He used his bare hands and was a real talent. Oh....and he didn't talk alot or need a spinning drum kit.
He came up with this Idea in a dream on May 22. Just a fun fact. He went to Nikki Sixx's house and they called management and got it done. Just read it in Nikki's book 'The Heroin Diaries'
Wow...I can't believe all the haters on here. Tommy is a fantastic drummer, not the best, but not the worst....He does a great job for HIS BAND! He's not in YOUR band...What would be great is if all you haters out there could come show us the millions and millions of dollars you have made as a drummer....I thought not...STFU!!!
EXACTLY! And as a drummer, Tommy is actually very good. He is a human metronome, and his long arms give his playing a very unique ‘time’. He’s ambidextrous and hits his skins so hard that all of his drums explode with sound. I don’t understand HOW you could hate on Tommy Lee. Motley Crue was the LAST true Rock Stars. Centerfolds, Car Crashes, Substance Abuse, Arrests, etc. those guys did it right!

honestly.. that's pretty badass.. gotta give it up for trying to pull the audience into the performance.. thumbs up to this.
It helps if he doesn’t call out the wrong city
I just started watching the Netflix movie, I said there's no way he would do that.
Here I stand corrected...
All the shit they show them doing in the movie and THIS is the thing you couldn’t believe?
They did everything that happened in the movie hence it being a biography
The film is a biography, he do that in every concert...he plays in roller coaster too in drum solo
Just check out the wild side video
