Tommy Lee On Nick Carter Collaboration
RollingStone.com caught up with Tommy Lee for a Q&A and asked the Motley Crue drummer how long he debated having Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter on his new album ‘Tommyland: The Ride’. “I knew that was coming,” Lee laughed. “Nick wanted me to write for him on his solo record. He wanted something edgier, and I was like, ‘Hmm, I don’t know’. But I took a meeting with him, and much to my surprise he was a huge rock fan. I popped out his CD player in his car and it was filled with Physical Graffiti and AC/DC and Sabbath. It kinda blew my mind. We did these two killer tracks together, so I said, ‘Can I use one of those?’ Let me tell you something: That motherfu**er came into the studio and out-partied people like Slash. [Nick’s] a fu**ing maniac. And that’s coming from me. I mean, I’m serious.”

His new reality show is pretty funny. I’m a huge fan of old school Motley Crue, saw them perform in Vancouver about a month ago, awesome old school rock show! Tommy put on a good show of his own with playing all kinds of different drums, it was great!
Oh please we all know the real reason Tommy “worked” with Nick. It was because Nick has bigger tits than Pamela! haha
That’s cool. I like the song Tommy did with Nick on his album. I’d like to hear the other song they did. If/when Nick does another solo album, I hope he puts that song on it.
Why are people so confused that Tommy and Nick would hang out. It’s only the fans that label and categorize, artist themselves don’t do that. I bet people would be shocked to know that Tommy even attended a BSB concert…ohhhhhh nooooooooooooo……lol Just because Nick sings in a vocal group and not a rock group doesn’t mean he doesn’t rock.
