| | Also when I write, I try to write about stuff that everyone gets. |
| | At least for me, everything I need is right inside here. I don't need anything. |
| | 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. |
| | Everyone's having a blast on tour. I think we're actually having more fun now than we ever had. |
| | I also did some jail time a few years ago. Spent a whole summer in jail reading books. I pumped a ton of new knowledge and new thinking into myself. |
| | I always try to play what the song needs. |
| | I can't wait for everyone to see the show. The show's out of control. |
| | I check into hotels under my alias, Mr. Happy. |
| | I don't really put too much emphasis on what somebody else might think of it. Otherwise your putting limits on yourself. |
| | I find that doing the drums last, coming from a drum history, really works well for me. |
| | I got it: stay away from cocaine and heroin. |
| | I guess I got my feet wet, doing this with Methods Of Mayhem, which was kind of cool. |
| | I have done some things in my past that I have been ashamed of... that's pretty much what that is about. |
| | 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 read about 35, 40 books on spiritual stuff, relationship stuff and parenting books. |
| | I start my own frat, and try out for the women's swim team. |
| | I think in the last year or so I've gotten good at not letting it bother me, just doing what I do, and not thinking about everybody else so much. |
| | I want to hear melody I want people to sing to my music. |
| | 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. |
| | I wrote it about a friend of mine who married his high school sweet heart. They had a baby together and one day, when the baby was about four months old, my friends wife was driving down the road by herself, pulled over to the side and she just died in her car. |
| | I'm happy doing what I'm doing, and if you have that kind of attitude then everything else from there on is a bonus. |
| | 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. |
| | 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. |
| | In the back of my mind, I know I have to pick up my boys in the morning. |
| | It sounds kind of strange, but Jail time was almost a good experience for me. |
| | It's all about the music. For me, that's truly what I live for. Just music constantly. Always listening to, writing, or playing music. That's definitely me. |
| | Nikki lives around the corner from me and I see him all the time. We talk a lot, and of course we're still friends. That was our baby, Motley Crue, we put that band together. |
| | Obviously, I'm a little more responsible these days. |
| | 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. |
| | That's the good part of having my past follow me, is that sometimes some of that stuff can help. |
| | The main thing, I guess, is to be really very compassionate with everyone. |
| | The Methods record went gold in America, Japan, Canada. |
| | 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. |
| | The record is definitely a musical journey. It's kind of all over the place, which I like. |
| | The sound's getting more and more developed. |
| | There's no new news. |
| | There's Tommy, Tommy Lee the rock star, and Tommy the dad. I'm wearing several hats these days. |
| | We had toga parties. You name it we did it. |
| | Well, some people die and then they sell more records, go figure. |
| | When I was a little kid, I took tap and ballet. I've always loved to dance. I'm a rhythm machine. |
| | When they're at the concert, very few of those people are going to be standing there, sober, watching your show. |
| | Whenever I write, I only write about what I know or what I have experienced or feeling. |
| | Whether it's crazy, fun stuff or bad- my life has been really fun and really exciting definitely never been dull. |
| | You know what, I just write what I feel. |
| | You never know what's going to happen sometimes, or what you think's going to happen never happens, or when you least expect it, the Santana record comes along and just blows up. |
