Summary

For more than four decades, Tommy Lee has been one of rock music's most recognizable drummers and personalities. As a founding member of Mötley Crüe, he helped define the excess, spectacle, and sound of the Sunset Strip era, earning a reputation as one of hard rock's ultimate hellraisers. Now, 45 years into the band's career, Tommy joins us to talk about the band getting back on the road, their evolving dynamic, and his newly reimagined Atmos-certified release ‘Tommyland Rides Again.’


The conversation also revisits some of the wildest chapters of Tommy's life, from touring with Ozzy Osbourne (and getting into serious trouble with Sharon) to the reality behind rock's most infamous stories and the band's journey with sobriety after Dr. Feelgood. Plus, we discuss his new song with Chad Tepper, "Stupid World," the infamous rotating drum kit setup, the loss of rock mystique, and much more. Tommy also reveals an unexpected part of his upbringing — tap dancing and ballet lessons as a kid — so there's that too!
