TOMMY LEE Has The Respect Of His Musical Peers

August 9, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee releases his third solo project, "Tommyland: The Ride", today (Tuesday, August 9). Lee told Launch that he's happier with "Tommyland" than with either of its predecessors. "It's the best work I've ever done to date," he said. "I can tell. You've always got your friends. They always say, 'Oh, that sounds great.' But when it comes from your musical peers, they're honest. You know, other musicians, they're like 'That's pretty cool, but that's killer right there.'"

Lee's previous solo outings were 1999's "Methods of Mayhem" and 2002's "Never A Dull Moment".

Lee is releasing "Tommyland" on his own label, through a unique distribution agreement directly with retail supplier the Handleman Company. 604 Records, the label founded by NICKELBACK frontman Chad Kroeger, is issuing the album in Canada.

"Tommyland" features guest appearances by Kroeger, GOOD CHARLOTTE's Joel and Benji Madden, SUM 41's Deryck Whibley, BACKSTREET BOYS' Nick Carter, Dave Navarro of JANE'S ADDICTION, Andrew McMahon of SOMETHING CORPORATE and FUEL's Carl Bell.

Lee's reality show, "Tommy Lee Goes to College", begins airing on August 16 on NBC.

MÖTLEY CRÜE performs tonight (Tuesday, August 9) in Maryland Heights, Missouri.
