April 7, 2002 A review from www.inverse-music.com CD Reviewed : Tommy Lee - "Never A Dull Moment" (MCA, May 2002) Reviewer : Andrew Hill Date Reviewed : April 07th, 2002 Tommy Lee, former Motley Crue drummer, decided to go it alone on this record after amicably parting ways with Methods of Mayhem's rapper, Tilo, in 2000. The result of this is an amazing album that comes straight from the heart of Lee himself. "Never A Dull Moment" takes a totally new direction for Lee, sounding nothing like what he brought to the table with Methods of Mayhem or other past works. Vocally and lyrically, Tommy Lee has poured out his heart and soul on this effort, with energetic melodic rhymes and throaty yells. Lee handles all the vocal duties, drumming duties and a great deal of the guitar duties on this album while Marty O'Brien, who also played with Methods of Mayhem, takes hold of the bass duties. The true talent and magic of Lee as a song writer, singer and all-round musician is shown perfectly on this album. The album kicks off with an edgy, melodic track called "Afterglow", which grabs your attention from the beginning and makes you want to listen to what else Lee has to offer. "Higher" is another powerful track that deserves a mention. With the chorus, "All my peoples in the pit, let me see you jump; Never ever gonna quit, let me see you jump; Let's bring this motherfucker down, don't give a shit; All me peoples in the pit, let me see you jump", it is sure to be a crowd favorite when the band hit the road. We also see a couple of guest appearances throughout the album. Deftones frontman, Chino, shares a verse with Lee in "Ashamed", a soft track with soaring strings. While Brandon Boyd, Incubus frontman, also makes an appearance doing back-up vocals on a beatiful melodic song called "Blue". A magneficent cover of David Bowie's "Fame" also appears on the album under the name "Fame 02". Tommy Lee's passion and drive for music is what makes this album such a joy to listen to. In my opinion, this album is going to be one of the major releases of 2002. The diversity of this album is what sets it apart from other recent releases that have plagued us with the same sounding shit. Make sure you pick up this album when it is released and check out Tommy Lee, with his new live band behind him, on tour. April 4, 2002 From mtv.com: Tommy Lee went all out for his video for "Hold Me Down," the first single off his solo album, Never a Dull Moment, due May 21. The clip, directed by Dean Karr (3 Doors Down, Dave Matthews Band), features Lee frolicking among members of Cirque Du Soleil. ... April 1, 2002 Can't Hold Tommy Down from www.accesshollywood.com: Access Hollywood's Pat O'Brien was with Tommy Lee on the set of his music video for "Hold Me Down," the first single off his new album, Never a Dull Moment. It's an appropriate title for the rocker who is in the center of a bitter child custody battle with his ex-wife, Pamela Anderson. For legal reasons, the court case was off-limits when Pat hit the set, but Tommy was candid about how it has influenced his new album. Pat: Does it speak to anything in your life? Should this have been named No More Drama like Mary J. Blige? Tommy: I think Never a Dull Moment is really appropriate for this record. Pat: Is this record about you or about somebody else? Tommy: No, it's just appropriately titled. It's just the way my life is. There is always something going on, good, bad or whatever. Indeed, Never a Dull Moment is an appropriate title for Tommy Lee's new record, but for a change the latest news on Tommy is good. Thanks to radio play, the new CD is already getting high marks from fans. "People are calling up saying 'Whoa, that track is amazing.' It's just real positive feedback, " said Lee. In the video, Tommy is flying sky-high. He takes to the air with a troop of floaters from Cirque de Soleil. "To watch bodies in motion and they're floaters flying around -- I'm mesmerized. I'm sitting there trying to sing the song and I'm like, 'It's hard to concentrate.'" When not on the set, Tommy told Access that he enjoys watching old pal Ozzy Osbourne on his hit MTV reality series. When asked if the show was a true depiction of Ozzy, Tommy said: "Yeah, it's pretty real. It's the guy I know. That's definitely Ozzy.. can't get anything to work, shaking. That's him man, that's him." This summer, Tommy will be going on tour the same time as Ozzy's "Ozzfest" hits the road. Tommy joked about the dueling concerts saying: "Hey Ozzy, I've got two words for you bro...Tommy Fest." BACK TO ARCHIVE
