Tommy Lee Wiki Biography

Thomas Lee Bass was born on 3 October 1962, in Athens, Greece, and is an American film score composer, singer, songwriter, film producer, as well as a musician. Tommy Lee rose to prominence in 1981, when he co-founded the heavy metal band called Motley Crue with Nikki Sixx, who plays bass in the band. Sixx and Lee were later joined by guitarist Mick Mars, and Vince Neil who became a vocalist.

A famous musician, how rich is Tommy Lee? According to sources, as of mid-2017, Tommy Lee’s net worth is estimated to be over $80 million, mostly accumulated from his involvement with “Motley Crue”, and other solo projects, during a career which began in the late 1970s.

Shortly after his birth Lee’s family relocated to California, where he later attended South Hills High School and Royal Oak High School. Influenced by such bands as Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Kiss and Eddie Van Halen, Tommy Lee decided to dedicate his life to music. One of the bands that Tommy Lee joined as a teenager was called “Suite 19”, which at the time achieved moderate success. Shortly afterwards, Lee met Nikki Sixx, who encouraged him to create a band, which was later joined by Mick Mars and Vince Neil. Even though Tommy Lee is best known as a drummer for Motley Crue, he has also led a quite successful solo career, plus he went on to create two more bands, namely “Methods of Mayhem” and “Rock Star Supernova”, and began collaborating with such artists as Rob Zombie and Trent Reznor’s “Nine Inch Nails”.

However, considered to be among the best-selling bands of all time, Mötley Crüe has sold more than 100 million albums during their career, and produced such popular singles as “Home Sweet Home”, “Kickstart My Heart”, “Girls, Girls, Girls” and “Wild Side” to name a few. The band debuted in the music industry in 1981, with the release of their first studio album entitled “Too Fast for Love”. The band received more commercial success with the release of “Girls, Girls, Girls”, their fourth studio attempt, which produced such singles as “Wild Side” and “You’re All I Need”. The album was received well by both the critics and the audience, which showed when it peaked shortly after its release at #2 spot on the Billboard charts. The album proved to be so successful that it was later certified four times Platinum by the RIAA.

From 1992 until 2003, the band went through many issues, including conflicts with their record label, as well as changes within the group, which brought them to an artistic halt. Mötley Crüe renewed their success in 2004, when they came out with an anthology album entitled “Red, White & Crue”, which featured such singles as “If I Die Tomorrow” and “Sick Love Song”. The band ultimately released nine studio albums, the last being “Saints of Los Angeles” in 2008, although a “Greatest Hits” album came out in 2009, and the live “The End – Live in Los Angeles” in 2016, after they had disbanded.

In his personal life, Tommy Lee has been married three times. Firstly to Elaine Starchuk (1984-85), then to actress Heather Locklear (1986-93). He thirdly married actress Pamela Anderson in 1995 after a whirlwind romance, and their on-off relationship continued until 2008 – including a divorce in 1998, and Tommy spending time in jail after assaulting her, not the only time he has been involved in physical confrontations. They are the parents of two sons. Controversy over a stolen tape of their sexual activities eventually resulted in the tape being sold, to the mutual benefit of themselves and purchasers Internet Entertainment Group.

In 2014 Tommy Lee announced his engagement to singer Sofia Toufa, but recently it was called off, because he stated to date internet personality Brittany Furlan.

Tommy Lee Quotes

• [on his film, The Homesman (2014)] I don’t even know what a western is. I’m interested in making films about the history of my country. I think ‘western’ means the story has horses and big hats. That’s about as descriptive as the term can be. What I’m trying to indicate is that I don’t think in terms of genre. And yet I will admit that I’ve made three movies that had horses and big hats, so there must be something there.
• [observation, 2014] The quality of one’s emotional life changes over the years, doesn’t it? But the basic instincts and desires, greed and hope, seem to remain constant. In the larger scope of things, there’s a sense of fulfillment to living a creative life. So I guess that’s what keeps me going.
• Harrison [Harrison Ford] is probably the best physical actor working today. I don’t simply mean hanging on to the hood of a Nazi truck as it zooms around the desert. He has a way of running that’s quite articulate. He uses his body very, very well.
• [on Will Smith] Will is more generous than anyone, and he spreads joy. He walks into a studio, walks onto a set, and he makes certain that everybody’s happy. He can’t help himself.
• I bear no resemblance to Douglas MacArthur whatsoever. But a campaign hat, some aviator glasses and a corncob pipe go a long way.
• It’s been said, truthfully, that every actor has a moment in every year, at least, when he knows for sure that he’ll never work again. That’s a more or less humorous way to point to the insecurity that comes with the job. I think that’s why [Laurence Olivier] said, “If you have any choice at all, don’t be an actor”.
• [regarding the furor over the violence in Natural Born Killers (1994)] Those who say that a work of art is an invitation to violent anti-social behavior are not very bright.
• I love cinema, and I love agriculture.
• You just look for good parts and good stories and a good company to work with. Characters with no integrity are just as interesting as characters with lots of integrity.
• [on working with famous movie stars] I feel pretty lucky. Those guys, they know my name. They know who I am. Not bad for a little Indian boy. Not bad.
• I really enjoyed a remark that Howard Hawks once made. He said the most important thing is not to ask an actor to do anything he can’t do. Same thing goes for horses.
• [on how he learned to direct] I’ve worked with more than 50 directors and I’ve paid attention since day one. That’s pretty much been my education, apart from studying art history and shooting with my own cameras. I’ve seen 50 different sets of mistakes and 50 different ways of achieving. You just leave the bad part out.
• I do not have a sense of humor of any recognizable sort.
• My thanks to the Academy for the very finest, greatest award that any actor can ever receive. The only thing a man can say at a time like this is — I am not really bald.
• It’s no mean calling to bring fun into the afternoons of large numbers of people. That too is part of my job, and I’m happy to serve when called on.
• Somebody’s gonna give you some money to perform a job, you do your best to make ’em a good hand…
