Tommy Lee Performs at Guitar Center's Drum-Off 2009

[MrJimi6768]

Id tell tommy he sucks to his face...

[MrJimi6768]

sucks..

[MrJimi6768]

Well it fucking dubstep sucks balls...

[ECUSnare]

Besides the fact that that was absolutely horrible, those kits need to be burned and the person who built them hung.

[AdamRodriguezGamez]

Absolutely FUCKING retarded...

[grubby169]

That fucking sucked! You could teach anyone to do what he was doing in a day.

[JettFox]

One word: Gay.

[yankeeredneck2]

Tommy should stick to making porn videos....

[ctc101BMG]

any one else notice sully fuckin erna? this is amazing, dubstep plus suly plus tommy lee, piss off everyone else, this is very creative

[sampsonite24]

this is the gayest fucking video i've seen in awhile!!! nothing they played the entire time took skill...i was playing harder music my freshman year in high school...and sure as hell stayed in time HAHA

[rhythmjunky80]

Anybody have the balls to tell Tommy he falls off time?

[socaldgafbro]

TIME TO HANG IT UP TOMMY...

[seffer626]

Is that Salih Erna on the congas?

[jamo2006]

I wish kid rock would drop whatever he's doing, fly to wherever tommy lee is, go knock on his door, and when tommy answers the door, kick him in the bag and punch him in the mouth again.

[theotherredguy]

I love this. It's the perfect example of how talent and fame have nothing to do with each other at all.

[pearlhaggard]

Great job keeping in time, fellas! Lol jk fuck you!

[ZackoXannex]

He sucks so bad now. :(

[LoserMcBeaver]

That was horribly done! Fucking awesome looking bass drum to fucking waste.

[scooterdavis2112]

watching him play is almost as annoying as listening...freaking train wreck

[lordxerak]

GAY



[themadtapper]

*thank you tommy lee.... coming up next... gavin harrison*

[kevinmoussavi19]

What.  The. Fuck.

[penguinworks]

been a drummer for 20 years - facepalm here

[120hazz]

tommy lee straight shit.

[HeavyMetalDrumMaster]

This is the EXACT reason why I HATE performing for the Drum Off now.. Which is why I stopped for 2 years now and will forever, because this is all the judges look for is hip hop bullshit instead of REAL drumming. Yes, I do Rock / Metal music 110%, and when I'm done I get a louder 'pop' than others, but it's overlooked by those who do this bullshit. Tommy Lee, I love ya, but I'll only respect you for your music with the Crue. This shit is garbage.. IMHO.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

THIS IS THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF HORSESHIT.WAT IS THIS WIGGER CENTRAL.

[OGTheDemon]

so many fukin tools on that stage it looks like a hardware store... BLOW MY MIND???? rly guitarcenter? yea it makes me wanna blow my mind.... with a godamn bullet...

[arandomcrackerguy]

wow this is fucking stupid.

[ttolmbrftttwtbopat]

dude i think his drums are turned off...

[xDrummingPiex]

Nice attempt Tommy. And by "nice attempt," i mean "that sucked ass."

[nastymonsters2]

looks like he ate his kit and shit it back up...dreadful looking..

[sssocialservice]

Tommy Lee..you should have hung it up after SHOUT AT THE DEVIL

[chewbaca1997]

Fuck this shit... Techno in guitar center? WTF is wrong with generation, SMFH

[Crapgramp]

Well, I've had it wrong all these years. I'm going to stop grooving, go get my dick tattooed, and practice nodding my head while playing completely off beat of a click track. Oh, I guess I'll also have to pick up a fucking four foot bass drum.

[gnrledzep4eva]

I'm not sure Tommy's bass drum is big enough.

[A7Xfan598]

I'm fucking done

[azimuth361]

What the fuck?!?! Drum-off. DRUM-OFF. This wasn't supposed to be a faggy dance off. Who invited C&C factory& I'm out of here. I'm going to watch some Marco Minnemann videos. You know, a REAL drummer.

[55WFL]

So that is what a few drum sets and cymbals sound like falling down an elevator shaft! I never thought Tommy Lee was any good to begin with... this 7:09 just proves it.

[88TENNboy]

..............................­...........?

[dharmaseed]

Tommy Lee...playing the same drum beat since 1984.

[fameasser35]

This was probably the worst 7 minutes of my life. Shouldn't someone like Dennis Chambers or Dave Weckyl be playing at this shit??

[goodnamepending]

So you just need to suck dick at playing drums and have a big ass expensive kit in order to play with guitar center. Ohh wait, i forgot the rockstar image look and being covered in tats. These guys must be so much better than me even with all the time playing with a metronome.

[castown]

I think my ears just threw up a little bit....

[rottenreid]

That was absolutely incredible. I wanted to turn it off but it's like a train wreck, I just couldn't look away. I didn't think it was possible to play drums in 4/4 to an electronic click track. Tommy Lee raises the bar again. Wow.......I'm gonna go hang myself now.

[theforexrookie]

I am now a worse drummer having watched this video.

[JEFFCAMPBELL1234]

What the fuck is this ? What a waste of my time

[butters226]

People are quick to criticize Lars, but the true 80s megaband idiot drummer is Tommy "Cumstain" Lee

[hevylevy1]

Shit.

[tailback43]

Gayest video ever.

[nastymonsters2]

two of the worlds shitest looking kits right there

[supernerf105]

what the fuck is wrong with that base drum

[TheUfomonkys]

@supernerf105 bass drum???

[CthulhuForCocoaPuffs]

@supernerf105 You don't like it? I myself love it. I've always got a kick out of his kits. But hey, different strokes... It could use a cool paint job though. I don't like the plain colors like that.

Anyway, I'm a guitarist myself. But if I was to ever buy a kit, I'd want one like that. Real basic, but cool looking.

[archologyzero]

This is an embarrassment to drummers everywhere, if this is to be any sort of representation of ability, musicality, creativeness... and really? Can tommy Lee NOT even play a single stroke roll?



[archologyzero]

my mind is most distinctly not blown. its four on the floor and they cant even keep TIME with a click here. zero stick control. frank zummo looks way too much like me. but I play a lot closer.

[egarehted]

Garbage! Makes me feel pretty good about my drumming. Anyone else?

[PositivelyBored]

@egarehted Yeah, this makes geniuses out of beginners. I feel like Tommy Lee is a better drummer than represented here, though. lol

[wootonworks1]

I would however like to have that huge ass bass drum for wall decoration. But not to sit infront of another bass drum. That's stupid.



[wootonworks1]

I wish I had all the money that DW wasted on this kit for tommy.

[derbz22]

disgusting



[scrawnylee]

WOW! I was expecting a drum performance...... FUCK THIS BULLSHIT!!!! Get back to drums Tommy!!!!

[7captaintwosheds7]

I love how perfectly locked in everyone is...

[TPAwavelink]

Alrighty then...

[OSSELBORNC]

Tommy plays with passion man thats why he has facial expression

[gitchigoomi]

The drumming is basic and the faces are retarded.

[marineboy8]

Hip-hop has infiltrated guitar center. Grab your weapons and prepare for war.

[jjvoich]

@marineboy8 um....id consider this electronica more than anything...



[snooters]

@marineboy8 That's a joke right? Don't blame this on hip hop, this is just shit music.

[bassharmonica1]

@marineboy8 I got my telebass and my peavey, I ready for action. plug and tune. I am here to fight rap and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum.

[CrushedJustice]

@marineboy8 it's not hip hop its dubstep...

[ragnaroksama]

@marineboy8 hate that, i go to guitar center the drum section fucking suuuuuuuuuucks so i go 2 the bass, but theeres only ppl in the dj watever part and all they do is play some gay as miley cyrus and dance

[billster13]

Now that sucks ass!!

[Daves1world]

what the heck the drums sounds Terrable! The ocdp drums and the DW soundoff. and they way they move just make it more embarassing but the Bongos sound better but others Just look embarassing...

[Jabarichonicles]

those stick heights are atrocious

[skippyskatestuff]

is that big of bass drum necessary.

[Chrissvinnnie]

@skippyskatestuff Why not? I'm only dreamin' of a huge bassdrum

[skippyskatestuff]

@Chrissvinnnie Well to some, it's cool but the biggest bass drum i'd want is like 26 inches.

[dragonrgf]

Heavily stylized noise. Very little talent displayed on this clip; gets annoying really quickly.

[Salvatella1]

Jesus!! how the hell Tommy went there toplay the same beat all the time??? shame on you dude!!!

[Salvatella1]

lame

[PaulDavidScott]

00:10 nah that is a fuckin joke, he can't even do 4 to the floor on time. This is fuckin cringeworthy man

[1234595192]

Bad bad

[MrSoccer2324]

Am I the only one who doesn't see why tommy lee is known as being a good drummer?

[CIDdrums]

Tommy is making faces like this is hard as hell to play... well maybe for him

[sabiankid11]

this is god awful

[MrJosusC]

My dick could hit the kick in better time when I was 11.

[STIXAHOY]

ever wonder ?  These celebrity drummers actually come to judge the contestants of the drum off when.............in actual fact..........most of the contestants can play so much better than these losers........... just goes to show ya.............famous does not = to good

[Legoman19892]

@STIXAHOY I disagree to some point. Sometimes you just know a drummer isn't good, but you don't always know how good they are based off these performances. Tommy could be just doing this because it gets him money. He could be a closet latin jazz specialist for all we know.

[TimeMgtInc]

Were people actually applauding for this?? This is so bad it gives techno a worse name than it already has! Hey Tommy, if I were this unskilled, I certainly wouldn't put it out there for the entire world to confirm it. What were you thinking??

[muszyngr]

all I could think while watching this is MORE COWBELL !!! lol

[TheHighPlainRoller]

This makes me want to quit drums and even music

[ToxicPerductions]

This was an epic fail.......

[ccroxmysox789]

They really couldn't do better than Tommy Lee?

[jtmcneil90]

this is actually worse than i thought it'd be. i guess i shouldn't be suprised

[TheHiggotron]

I personally think I win the 'drum-off' cos I sat through the whole thing...



[BlackWater294]

What's up with that huge ass bass drum? Is he even playing it?

[96drummer96]

@BlackWater294 It's just for looks...he has a 22" kick inside of it..I know it's stupid...

[hardrockbeat]

Tommy.... pleaaassseee... get a new: manager. drum tech. pr guy. guitar center rep. dude who does anything for you. Please come back to us. U are all thats left of that original Motley Crue feeling. And it left 20 years ago. Stop breaking your back for half ass shit. If you don't feel it, don't do it. You look like you hit the drums harder than anyone. Learn some new stuff and challenge yourself and others. Everyone knows you hit hard. Has known. Get current. Come correct. Blow minds.

[footballer652]

its ashame wasting drummers with their talent on crappy ass songs like this

[Adammusicny]

guy cant stay on time...buy a metronome

[Rumessen10]

am I the only one who likes this? :D

[rockdahaus]

@Rumessen10 Looks like... the drumming was bad, the show boring and the "song" sucks... big time. I would prefer Travis Barker, and he is not realy good too.

[mikestaurowsky]

This is terrible

[Ignatious1111]

holy shit, this is terrible.

[quiksilvermbd]

w.t.f..

[jona4151]

The first time that Tommy Lee sucks.

[teasdalea1]

@GuitarCentreTV You guys suck!

[tarikghi]

Amazing! Tommy Lee was falling off the beat, slowing down and speeding up. Amazing he has a career at this.

[johnnylarue1]

shocking how bad this is?!!!

[georgebaggy]

This is pure shit. I've never heard worse sounding music

[SuperLoganjames]

timing seems off in so many places. had higher expectations.

[MrRockylanza]

I just have one thing to say.. why?

[Blink182DudeRanch]

i really hate the look and sound of his drums.

[JonaaaDrums]

how can a guy thats so bad at drums make so much money from playing drums -_-

[MCFLEE77]

What a waste of time......

[kej1958]

I LOVE IT!!!!

[TheTRIPLEHORN]

Classic Guitar Center! They fucked up and only have one out of all the hand-drums miked up!

[ShadeOfHypocrisy]

You know, sometimes when you go downtown, you might see homeless people trying to get that last drop of beer out of their cans by hitting them over and over again. The rhythm they produce while doing this is waaay better, cooler and even more complex than the one that Tommy Lee does in this video

[motleycrue24]

idk why he does all this bs listen to the drum tracks on the album too fast for love he was on fire what happened

[wootonworks1]

I've never understood why Tommy Lee has been so praised by drummers all over. Its funny that it takes stupid amounts of money and gear to make him likeable live.  He uses all that gear as a buffer to hide his skill level.

[xernoff]

sadly, i can do this with 3 hands behind my back...and i only have two, leaving my mouth and feet for the pedals. :P

[borntoball15x]

That was painfully bad.

[xdrummer2010x]

All I can say is that if im a drummer and if I went to a drum off and this shit-heap is what was presented to me, I would be serverly dissapointed and would even be tempted to hurl my shoe.

[DoctorBlissphd]

Tommy has a laughably tiny kit to begin with. Then uses like half of it. Snare high hat, snare high hat, snare high hat, stupid look on face,. snare high hat.

[maxqd3]

Haha Tommy what happend to the CrU

[supplebiscuit]

*FACEPALM* Why can't they keep time? It is MIND BOGGLING.

[Deathblow85]

Tommy Lee Y U SO BAD?

[jackwontknow1]

I made it to 0:58, the third time the drumming went offbeat...

[Synkopath7]

flam-ing like hell...don't know who's worse...

[monkfishstuff]

These. Guys. Sucked. And. The. Dancers.  Cant. Hide. It.

[MrJonboiy]

i made it to 3:33....half evil, not quite evil enough....

[logan2861]

that sucked but thats like the coolest set ever because of the bass drum! I live motley crue but this kinda sucks

[Prettyflyforabassman]

the only decent druming in this is the bongoes

[metrxman00]

I preface this by saying I am NOT a techno/hip-hop/whatever-that-w­as fan...As a drummer, I appreciate talent. While I think it it was definitely weird seeing Tommy and Sully doing this, I still have to give them credit: they've got mad skills. If they ever put out an album of this stuff though, they'd have to turn in their rock badges...cuz it was just weird.

[tmiller3192]

this is fucking embarassing...

[bdj1964beerstoreguy]

@tmiller3192 your right this sucks i know to many drummer that can do this there salf.

[cgldrums]

sooo boring!!!!

[LOUD7]

Tommy Lee sounds good with Motley Crue.But His solo stuff is awful.Dude is in lala land.Don't know what in the world he is thinking coming up with this garbage.

[allcrap10]

this man sucks ... ( drumming )

[ClarkKasheta]

Is this the Guitar Center Jerk-Off?

[Prettyflyforabassman]

there not even in time in some parts....

[Keefedrummer333]

it blows my mind that noone in the immediate comments noticed sully erna on the bongos.

[gottajamm]

It's all about the Primal Rhythms.......Tommy is the Man!

[mahagga]

tommy lee is a very good drummer,but not sure what is up with this soundtrack,must have been a stage he was goin through,lol

[naft69]

i agree this blows. dude,.. wtf? i get doing his own thing, but to demote yourself from the crue to this? its a step down. nothing hard or complicated about reproducing drum machines. damn dude, really??

[JJP551]

terrible

[Jabarichonicles]

Now I have played in house bands and yes has had to play beats like this but this was a drummer crowd...THE FUCK TOMMY??? Get your shit together and start practicing more often, your not as good as buddy Rich yet...

[zihcm]

this got really good at 7:08, because in 1 second it was over

[B3ASTM0DE92]

wtf is this?

[gee645]

What the fuck happened to him?

[DSCRAPRE]

Every time I feel bad about myself for anything, I just watch this and remind myself that no matter how bad I screw up it could never turn out this bad.

[martstyle12]

yes right, a 40'' inch bassdrum.

sounds fucking dumb

[camelwars95]

@martstyle12 hes not even playing the 40" bass theres a regular 22" right in front of it on his side and plus the 40" is sitting too far away from him for him to even hit it

[euan247]

wait.. Tommy Lee as in drummer for one of the most prolific/awesome glam metal bands ever.. playing this shit? :(

[zappa2001]

Wow he is one of the worst famous drummers alive.

[SamPellegrino1]

He doesent even get where the quarter note is

[castrojesus64]

i kinda expected more from tommy lee :\ especially at a guitar center drum off event...

[LAXdart]

why?

[mytimeisapieceofwax]

@LAXdart Exactly. 

[ryallen32]

wow, guitar center sold the fuck out didnt it?

[i002492]

I'll bet this makes Gene Krupa regret that he invented the drum set.

[therocker1596]

I dont even play drums and I think I can do this, :P

[rockdelpesado]

2 min... nothing... ok wait....

3:20... Nothing yet :S

Man... what a waste of time...

what a disappointment.

[TbTReviews]

He should have realized that he wasn't going to play in front of a bunch of Motley Crue fans. He's playing in front of what is probably a bunch of drummers. He never should have shown his face because drummers see him for what he is...a hack.

[fr4nkenstien]

You can doll it up with a DJ and dancers and a big flashy screen and tons of money dropped into equipment, but uh... Doesnt cover up how bad and basic this was, and uh... way to mess up kick timing like 50 times on such a basic beat...

[RutboyNiles]

He's better at making porn movies.

[gurn58]

Zzzzz

[Cleistorme]

man this is so lame, Tommy only has that huge kick for show he doesnt even play it. you can see that there is like a 22' kick behind and the huge kick's only purpose is to hold the set list. what the fuck this is so shit.

[STIXAHOY]

Tommy used to be er..........good ?  Now he's become such an amateur

[davecochran]

the hand drummer was more technical than either of them for gods sake

[rod17409]

this was lame , you are a rock drummer dude.

[irishman75]

An untrained monkey could do this
