Methods of Mayhem

小简介
这是一个TOMMY LEE组建的新金乐队。这种将重金属音乐和rap、techno相混合的乐风令TOMMY LEE兴奋不已，便萌生了组建METHOD OF MAYHEM的想法。再加上他的伙伴，Tilo、Snoop Dogg、limp bizkit等人的帮助，迅速促成了他们的首场演出。 在METHOD OF MAYHEM 的首场演出上，LEE全方位担任主唱、rap、鼓手、键盘手合吉他手。展现出他多年来为自己积累的财富。 METHODS OF MAYHEM 在1999年，由SCOTT HUMPHREY制作并发行了首张以他们自己名字命名的专辑。这张专辑展现了他们作为RAP 和重金属表演者最杰出的一面。
甚至有人说他们是RAP METAL的首创
Rap-metal combo Methods of Mayhem was formed by frontman Tommy Lee after quitting his drumming duties in Mötley Crüe. Born Thomas Lee Bass on October 3, 1962, in Athens, Greece, he grew up in Los Angeles, co-founding the band Christmas with bassist Nikki Sixx in 1981; with the subsequent additions of guitarist Mick Mars and singer Vince Neil, the group was renamed Mötley Crüe and immediately became a top attraction on the local hard rock scene. Signing to Elektra in 1983, the Crüe emerged as one of the best-selling and most notorious metal bands of the era, scoring a series of hit albums including 1985's Theatre of Pain, 1987's Girls, Girls, Girls, and 1989's Dr. Feelgood; famed for their glamorously excessive offstage antics as much as their music itself, Lee in particular became steady tabloid fodder in 1986 with his marriage to Dynasty vixen Heather Locklear, a tumultuous relationship which ended in divorce eight years later.
Even as Mötley Crüe's fortunes waned, Lee remained in the limelight thanks to his 1995 marriage to pin-up Pamela Anderson, a union which produced two children as well as an infamous homemade sex video which became a bestseller. Run-ins with the law were also common: in 1997, he and Sixx were arrested after encouraging fans to rush the stage during a concert stop in Phoenix, and a year later Lee was arraigned for assaulting a photographer. Most scandalously, in May 1998, he was sentenced to six months in jail for assaulting Anderson, although the two later reunited. He left Mötley Crüe in 1999, collaborating with rapper TiLo on Methods of Mayhem, an all-star project featuring from Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, the Crystal Method, Kid Rock, Snoop Dogg, and Mix Master Mike. Signing to MCA, Methods of Mayhem issued their self-titled debut LP in late 1999.
