Tommy Lee julkaisee ”Andro”-sooloalbuminsa lokakuussa: kirjoittanut seuraavankin albumin lähes valmiiksi karanteenissa

Yhdysvaltalaisen rock-jätti Mötley Cruen rumpali Tommy Lee on julkaisemassa ”Andro”-sooloalbuminsa 16. päivä lokakuuta. Kesäkuussa Lee julkaisi kaksi uutta kappaletta ”Knock Me Down” ja ”Tops”, joilla kuultiin vierailijoina Killveiniä sekä eteläafrikkalaista Push Pushia. Rumpali kertoi iHeart Radion haastattelussa olleensa ahkera karanteenin aikana, sillä hän on viimeistelemässä jo seuraavaakin sooloalbumiaan. Lee kertoi:

”I hate to say this, because it’s weird to say, but it’s sort of just… I mean, yes, a lot of bad stuff happened, but for a guy who doesn’t really leave his house that much and is often in my studios here, I guess it hasn’t changed much for me. Some things have, obviously, but for the most part, dude, I’ve just been here… It’s kind of fucked up, ’cause I called my manager a couple of weeks ago and I’m, like, ’Dude, I almost have another record done.’ And he’s, like, ’Woah! Hold up. This one’s not even out yet.’ I’ve been in my studio just [creating] more shit, which, that’s been great. It’s, like, ’Hey, what are are we gonna do here?’ Well, we can’t do this and can’t do that, so [go back] in the studio.

Also, and I tell this to people, because I think this is important. I think another thing that has happened that’s fucking really cool that I’ve noticed for me is that, and this is probably true for many people, our daily lives are fucking hauling ass, pretty much, for the most part — whether you’re working, whatever you’re doing, you’re pretty much flying. And the pandemic has, for me, slowed me down and almost stopped to do some really cool introspection — whether it’s your family life or a relationship or how you are as a person, it’s really gotten me to slow down, almost stop and really dial certain things in that I’ve been avoiding, or doing things more that I should be doing more. It’s cool, man. There’s been a lot of pluses about it. Unfortunately, a lot of negatives, but that’s with everything.”
