Tommyland Author:Tommy Lee, Anthony Bozza I am Tommy Lee, born Thomas Lee Bass in Athens, Greece, on October 3, 1962, and raised in a suburb of California by an American father and a Greek mother. At seventeen, I joined Mötley Crüe and we became one of the baddest-ass rock bands in history. We sold over 40 million albums, we wreaked havoc, we scared parents, and we titillated ... more »too many fathers' daughters. I've been married three times: once for just a few days to a Penthouse Pet, for seven years to Heather Locklear, and then for five years to Pamela Anderson, with whom I have two beautiful sons. I've gotten into a lot of fights and I've been to jail a few times. But this book isn't your typical journey in a straight line from day one to day now. I'm more interested in revealing what's most important about my life, like how I cook my steaks; what I think of the tabloids, the truth, my ex-wives, my ex-band, my music; and what an innocent observer might find hanging around my house any given Sunday. You'll get plenty of facts and I'll tell you a story, but my real mission here is to paint you a picture of my life. I want to show you how my memories smell. I'd like to get into it now, so please take your seats. I advise you to keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times. If you have a pacemaker, a heart condition, or if you are pregnant or too damn short to reach the safety bar, I ask that you turn back immediately. Those with weak stomachs, strict morals, or chronic indigestion should put the book down now. For the rest of you, there's one truth that's real across the board: What you send out is what you get back. Send out the good, people, and it will come back to you. There's another thing I've learned over the years, in court, in fights, and in arguments with people I love: There isn't one truth, there are many. This book is my truth.« less
This was a quick read for me,although it was not very detailed. I do respect Tommy Lee for not going into detail about much of his life. He did this very tastefully.(I felt like he may have held back out of respect for his children) Also he did not show any didrespect to any of his ex's.Well written book...I would have loved to have read the real juice,but can feel his total devotion to his family in his words in this book. Everyone should read it,JUST TO GET A FEEL FOR THE REAL PERSON TOMMY LEE HAS GROWN TO BE.
After reading Heroin Diares and since I've always been a Tommy fan...i got this book...it tells mostly about just that~ TOMMY....it's not a book about MOTLEY at all...this is such a good book...not quite an autobiography, and he goes to explain that...it's just about key points in his life and it really shapes him as the cool-down-to-earth guy you might already think him to be!!! I wanna be his friend!!! GREAT BOOK...it's gonna have to be a keeper i think!
This book was entertaining with pics and his anecdotes from his "best buddy". If your a fan of Motley Crue you might already know some of what is in the book, but you really get to know that Tommy is a passionate man who lives life on his terms. This book humanizes the mega-star that is Tommy Lee. I enjoyed it :)
This is probably one of the worst autobiographies I have ever read. I am a big Motely Crue fan esp. of Tommy Lee. The book is not that thick either. For the life he has lived I think he could have written a better story.
