MÖTLEY CRÜE's TOMMY LEE To Choose Best Corporate Band In America

September 22, 2009

Legendary drummer Tommy Lee of rock band MÖTLEY CRÜE is one of three judges chosen to pick the best corporate rock band in the upcoming Fortune Battle of the Corporate Bands presented by NAMM, the trade association of the international music products industry, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Lee will be joined by noted musician and author Jeff Carlisi and Making Music magazine editor-in-chief Antoinette Follett as judges at the ninth annual event, taking place on Saturday, October 3, 2009, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

The first music competition of its kind, the battle provides amateur, company-sponsored bands with the opportunity to step out of the conference room and celebrate their passion for making music. Eight qualifying bands from across the U.S. will take the stage at the Rock Hall, with the chance to earn the title of best corporate band. The event is also generously supported by Gibson Guitar.

"I'm happy to be part of this year's Fortune Battle of the Corporate Bands," said Lee. "An amazing amount of talent exists across the country, and for people to come together in the workplace and express themselves in a different way proves what kind of power music has in elevating morale and bringing people together."

In addition to Lee's role as a judge at this year's Battle of the Bands, the Tommy Lee-fronted ensemble METHODS OF MAYHEM is inviting fans to make music of their own and help record their upcoming album. Starting on October 5, isolated instrument tracks, or stems, will be posted on the web site ThePublicRecord.com. Fans can download the stems and add their own musical ideas, including original recordings, song mixes, arrangements and more.
