When Tommy Lee strapped himself, half-nude, into his rotating drum kit to solo for 10 minutes before a crowd of thousands at the Sprint Center Tuesday night, he did it because he's crippled with shyness. As he hung, suspended high above the masses, the nearly 50-year-old percussionist thought, Ah, how I despise being the center of attention! Thank God I became a rocker! while his exposed nipple piercings glistened in the spotlight.
So you can imagine his shock after the show when he appeared for a DJ gig at Mosaic, only to find that people were more interested in seeing him than listening to his brand of inoffensive techno music.
"" tweeted Lee at 2:33 a.m. immediately upon finishing the gig.
I sent Mosaic a message through their Facebook page and tried to reach
someone from the club on the phone to talk about what happened, but
haven't gotten a response. However, it seems safe to say the club booked Lee -- whose last solo album of funk and techno failed to chart in the U.S. -- because management knew the crowd would enjoy the blips and noises that Lee made while hiding from the public in a restroom stall, and in no way was he likely paid a large appearance fee because people would want to see or interact with him.
Several of Lee's Facebook fans were alternately confused and supportive.
David Lee Floss tommyi dont care if this is you --or the blue haired old lady in a diaper
that runs this page ---but wtf is the drummer of motley crue doing in a
dance club in the first place
Christina Lovell thought that was a gay bar?!!
Jerry Prater Tommytoo bad your success is not all about the love and not about the
money...your annoyance with the fans on this tour is old and boring
bro...Apparently your unhappiness of being in Motley Crue is causing you
to lash out at the very people who made you who you are. And to support
what others are saying, your solo and dj gigs really do suck...lol

Joke 1: I hope that Tommy Lee's actions don't besmirch the good name that Motley Crue has taken such care to cultivate over the years.
Joke 2: I heard the same thing happened at Nicky Sixx's home gardening class at the Soil Service Garden Center. WTF?
Joke 3: The DJ set would have lasted past 2:30 but those 1st generation iPods don't really hold a charge that well anymore.
Chill everyone, Tommy is just waiting on his social security check to come in and needs something to do. Dude needs to stop hanging out with Deadmau5 and other people half his age. All this proves is that any jackass can be a DJ. LiLo would have opened for him but she was on house arrest at the time.
Seriously though, stop while you're ahead ... your geritol is showing & it is so very sad.
Umm -- after viewing this video------I felt embarrassed for both Mr Lee--and Kansas City. Nice dance moves dude!! What are you 50??
So....you really love Mosaic but just didn't know how to express it? Oh jesus, if you really are Tommy Lee and you took time to make a comment here, I totally win! Kickstart My Heart is tits, by the way.
