MÖTLEY CRÜE Featuring MORGAN ROSE: Clarkston Footage Posted Online

August 17, 2009

SEVENDUST drummer Morgan Rose filled in for Tommy Lee at MÖTLEY CRÜE's last three shows — August 14 at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio; August 15 at Clarkston, Michigan's DTE Energy Music Theatre; and August 16 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Post-Gazette Pavilion.

Fan-filmed video footage of the Clarkston gig can be viewed below (courtesy of "nancy6293").

According to Billboard.com, Lee will be off his kit for several Crüe Fest 2 shows after burning his left hand last week while playing with a set of sparklers.

Rose "came charging in like a knight in shining armor" according to a note on bassist Nikki Sixx's MySpace page.

Lee, his left thumb and forefinger wrapped in bandages, is still taking part in the shows, coming on first to explain his absence — "First of all, I suck. I was having fun and I burned myself," he told Saturday's crowd at the DTE Energy Music Theatre — then to hand a bottle of Jagermeister to the crowd and, during the encores, play piano on "Home Sweet Home" and thump on a drum with his right hand for "Girls, Girls, Girls", according to Billboard.com.

There's no official word about when Lee will be able to play drums again. Crüe Fest 2 runs through September 2.

The last time Lee was forced to sit out a MÖTLEY CRÜE gig was June 12, 2007 when he was he recovering from another arm ailment. EVANESCENCE/DARK NEW DAY drummer Will Hunt filled in for Lee at that show, although Tommy did manage to take to the kit for one number — the immortal "Kickstart My Heart".
