1. Thomas Lee Bass (b… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists with this name:
1. Thomas Lee Bass (born October 3, 1962 in Athens, Greece), better known as Tommy Lee, is a Greek-born American rock and roll musician, best known as the drummer for the hard Rock band Mötley Crüe.
Early Life and Career
Lee was born in Athens, Greece. His mother, Vassilikki "Voula" Papadimitriou, was Miss Greece in 1957, and his father was David Lee Thomas Bass, a Welsh Army sergeant. His family moved to California a year after his birth. Lee received his first drum set when he was four. However he received his first real drum kit when he was a teenager. At that time, he was listening to Deep Purple, KISS, and Led Zeppelin. He joined the marching band at Royal Oak High School in Covina, CA, but dropped out of school in his senior year to focus on his musical career.
His first successful band was called Suite 19. With a fast guitarist named Greg Leon from La Cresenta, California, the group played the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles during the early '80s. At this time he met future band mate, Nikki Sixx. Casually, Sixx was forming a theatrical band that would specialize in anthemic heavy metal, and was impressed by Lee's playing. Sixx convinced Lee to leave Suite 19 and started playing together in what would end up being Mötley Crüe. At this time, he changed his name to Tommy Lee and earned the nickname "T-Bone" from Sixx. Shortly afterwards, guitarist Mick Mars joined the band. Mars recommended a singer Tommy met at high school, Vince Neil, who soon joined the group.
Mötley Crüe and stardom
Mötley Crüe quickly built a strong fan base and they released their debut album, Too Fast for Love in 1981, on their own independent label (Leathür Records). Elektra Records decided to sign the band shortly thereafter, reissuing their debut in 1982. The band then began a string of hit releases throughout the decade -- 1983's Shout at the Devil, 1985's Theater of Pain, 1987's Girls, Girls, Girls, and 1989's Dr. Feelgood -- establishing the quartet as one of the biggest hard rock/metal bands of the '80s. During this time, Lee used several memorable gimmicks during his drum solo at concerts, such as having his entire kit revolving and spinning, or having the entire kit float above the crowd while he continued to play.
As the popularity of the band rose, Lee also made the headlines with his numerous romantic involvements. He married stripper Elaine Irwin Bergen in 1984, but they divorced within a month. He married actress Heather Locklear in 1986, but they divorced in 1993 after he Lee's tryst with porn actress Debi Diamond.
Pam & Tommy Lee: Hardcore & Uncensored in 1995, he married actress Pam Anderson; they would have two children (Brandon Thomas, born July 5, 1996, and Dylan Jagger, born December 29, 1997). It was with Anderson that one of Lee's most famous incidents arose when one of their private videos was stolen in 1997. The couple had videotaped themselves on vacation, recording their sexual activities. The tape was widely circulated, and was one of the first examples of nude celebrities on the Internet. Anderson and Lee divorced in 1998, and he served four months in prison after pleading no contest to kicking Anderson in the back. While he was serving sentence, the couple officially divorced, although they reunited briefly upon his release.
Solo career
Lee also decided to leave Mötley Crüe during his stay in prison, and stuck to his promise after the completion of the Crüe's Greatest Hits tour in 1999. With the popularity of rap metal, Lee formed a band called Methods of Mayhem. The band released a self-titled album the same year and toured for it.
Although Lee distanced himself from Mötley Crüe after splitting, he agreed to take part in their 2001 autobiography, The Dirt. In addition to Mötley Crüe and Methods of Mayhem, Lee has made guest appearances on albums by other artists, such as Stuart Hamm, Nine Inch Nails and Rob Zombie. He also contributed a solo song, "Welcome to Planet Boom" to the soundtrack of then-wife Pamela Anderson's 1996 movie, Barb Wire, and produced an album for the pre-Goldfinger project from John Feldmann and Simon Williams, the Electric Love Hogs.
Also in 2001, four-year-old Daniel Karven-Veres drowned at Lee's Malibu, California, home during a birthday party for Lee's son Brandon. On April 17, 2003, a Superior Court jury took less than three hours to reject a wrongful death claim made by Daniel's parents, German actress Ursula Karven and TV producer James Veres. The suit accused Lee of negligence for failing to have a lifeguard or someone trained in CPR present during the birthday party.
Lee parted ways with Methods of Mayhem partner Tilo and began recording with members of Incubus. Shortly after, he started recording songs featuring himself almost exclusively, and he ended up releasing his first solo album. The album, 2002's Never a Dull Moment, had tones of rap metal and electronica, and featured little of the Mötley Crüe sound he was famous for.
