In a recent interview with ARTISTdirect.com, Lee was asked how the upcoming MÖTLEY CRÜE and POISON tour came together. "For awhile, it's something that the fans have been asking for," he said. "When promoters and enough people start asking you to do something, you're like, 'Ah, okay, cool! Let's go do it!' [Laughs] That's definitely how the ball started getting rolling. Then, we started kicking around some band names. The NEW YORK DOLLS came up first, and it was like, 'Yeah, that sounds awesome!' That's how it all started."

Regarding the first time he heard POISON, Tommy said, "I think the first time I had seen or heard of them was a video. It was 'Talk Dirty To Me'. I remember seeing them, and I was tripping out, going, "Wow, these guys are kind of like us!" [Laughs] There was something a little different musically, which I remember liking. It was less metal or rock; it was more pop. It was more like CHEAP TRICK. Even in the riffs, you could hear it. I thought the riff in 'Talk Dirty To Me' was a bit like a CHEAP TRICK riff. I was a big CHEAP TRICK fan growing up, and that's my first experience of POISON."
