Methods Of Mayhem

A colorful character, Tommy Lee is far from content with his role as drummer for Mötley Crüe. After the band split up in 1999, the tattooed man decided to launch a rap metal combo for which he became lead singer and guitarist. His extensive address book enabled him to recruit musicians from the metal, rap and electro worlds. The Methods of Mayhem album was released at the end of 1999, and boasted the presence of Kid Rock, Snoop Dogg, Lil' Kim and George Clinton - an infernal line-up. The album went platinum in the U.S. and was a huge success. The sequel doesn't arrive until 2010, with a largely renewed line-up for A Public Disservice Announcement, billed as a participatory album in which Internet users contributed to the various compositions.
