Loved this Book

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2023

After reading, 'The Dirt', you still feel dirty. So where can you continue to hear about the bad boys of rock? A great start is 'Tommyland.' I work a 9-5, walk in a straight line, pay my bills, and repeat. It makes me happy that I can read about amazing circumstances which propel regular people to the pinnacle of success and how they handle it. All I can say is that each of the Motley Crue band members are soldiers who have continued to do all the things an average man wished he could do. Most men would be dead one year in. These guys did the job for the average man, so we could live vicariously through their exploits. At the end of the day, they were so-so musicians who honed their skills into an incredible blues riffed soundtrack to our lives. I say buy the book.

Hey Dude - Whatever...

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2004

For the most part I liked the book. He and his ghostwriter wrote chapters and then stuck them in a book basically which is OK, but sort of rambly. I will say it was a cute format though and I enjoyed that his "dick" stuck in his two cents all the time. (You will have to read the book to see how he did that.)

Here is what I got out of the book. His 7 year marriage ended to Heather because she didn't want to have kids yet and he did so he went to a porno shoot site and let a porno girl give him a BJ. Heather finds out within a few hours that he did this and the marriage is over. What a waste and who would do that to Heather? I am sure she would have wanted to have kids down the road. Count this as his first time to shoot himself in the foot.

With Pamela, he gets a bit rough with her over nothing really and pushes her in the hiney with his foot while she is holding their 4 month old son and then he proceeds to shove her and the baby hits it's head on a blackboard. Not cool and the second shooting of his foot.

And of course his engagement with Mayte, Prince's ex-wife, ends because he really isn't ready to get married again and she wants a baby and he doesn't because he has 2 kids by Pamela. I don't know whose foot is shot here - Mayte's or Tommy's. She is probably better off that she didn't marry him.

He talks a lot about his jail time and it seems this was his Crying Time as he did a lot of that while in jail. He talks about his parents a lot - he loves them dearly (his father passed away in 2001) and that is nice to know. And last, above all, do NOT disturb him if you see him out in public. There are several pages towards the end of the book that says over and over - don't bother me if I am with my kids or eating or laying on the beach in Bora Bora or wherever. He loves his fans but does not want to deal with them anymore nor listen to their stories of how his music changed their lives. This is one lady that Tommy will not have to worry about because if I saw Tommy drowning or about to fall off a cliff I would just let him because God forbid I say hi to him and that I like his music. I have always thought of Tommy as a good looking, sexy guy and the best of the best of drummers. I just know I don't want to meet him anymore. His book is not bad - it could have had a little more detail on his marriages and he didn't mention Bobbie Brown at all, but it is still a readable book. I liked Dirt better. But again - if you are a Tommy fan you will like the book.

4 Stars and...

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018

This is not quite 5 stars for me, but it was well worth my time and the purchase price. I read it over a three day period and I got tons of enjoyment out of it. I'm really glad that I read this book to get Tommy's personal take on several different things that happened to him, especially being married to Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson. I was also interested in Tommy's account of going to jail, about a young boy that sadly died in his pool, and the passing of his father, being raised by his parents etc. Of course, many other great topics and stories are covered. I think a better rating would be about 4.6 stars, because that represents a percentage of the book that I totally enjoyed. The .4 remaining I sometimes felt was rather dumb, but it's not a big deal. I got many good giggles from the entertaining way Tommy expresses himself. I am familiar with Anthony Bozza and he does an excellent job finding the voice of the person he's writing for. I really felt that the writing style was completely Tommy talking. I can't guarantee someone else will like this, but it was good for me. It's not exactly the self-improvement type of book that I like to read, but I felt that in my own context of life, I identified with Tommy in a certain way. I've been epically misunderstood, and I think Tommy is misunderstood. The man personifies the idea of a rock star. He's wickedly talented. Post Motley Crue, it's probably true to say that he's the most talented of the four in that bunch. A true artist. Seemingly a lovable guy. That is all. :)

I'M TRYING!

I'm certainly no fan of this group, but I really enjoyed their joint biography The Dirt. I figured this one would be just as good so I decided to give it a read, but I'm having a tough time getting started because this guy is just so annoying! I don't even know why he's so popular because I don't find him attractive (Vince Neil was the best looking one in this group before his looks went kaput). I'm trying not to write it off, so I just put it aside; hopefully I'll get back to it and get past how stressful this guy is!

Ein Entertainer

Reviewed in Germany on October 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

Tommy Lee ist ohne Frage immer eines geblieben – ein Entertainer. Sei es bei seiner Zeit als Drummer von Mötley Crüe, bei seinen Solo-Projekten oder bei seinen privaten Eskapaden, Lee hat es immer wieder geschafft, sich ins Rampenlicht zu bringen, zu unterhalten und für Gesprächsstoff zu sorgen – dass er dabei oft genug aneckte und zig Skandale auslöste stand dem ja nie entgegen.

Gleichzeitig gibt es ja mittlerweile eine ansehnliche Sammlung von Mötley Crüe Literatur (sollte man das Genre „Literatür“ nennen?)… denn seit „The Dirt“, die Biographie von Mötley Crüe, mit ihren Sodom & Gomorra artigen Schilderungen weltweit derartigen Kultstatus erlangt hat, erschienen ja noch so einige Bücher von Crüe-Mitgliedern – keine Frage, dass Tommy Lee hier nicht fehlen darf.

Insofern kann man sich fast denken, was in TOMMYLAND den geneigten Leser erwartet – noch mehr Stories über Mädchen, Sex, Drogen, Erfolg, Mädchen, Sex, Skandale, Musik, Mädchen, Sex und schockierende Geschichten. Lee schildert auch seine Jugend und seine Eltern, schreibt über Zeiten hinter Gittern, seine gescheiterten Ehen und den tragischen Tod eines vierjährigen Kindes in seinem Pool. TOMMYLAND hat also auch durchaus ernsthafte und nachdenkliche Passagen, wenn auch ein Großteil des Buches mit den gewohnten Sex, Drugs & Rock N Roll Geschichten bestückt ist… und diese schrägen Stories sind immer wieder mit Kommentare von Tommy Lees Penis versehen, mit dem einleitend auch ein Interview geführt wird.

Ich muss feststellen, dass sich TOMMYLAND wie gewohnt flott liest und durchaus einige Facetten des Menschen Tommy Lee zum Vorschein bringt, die man so nicht erwartet – dass es ihm nicht an Selbstvertrauen mangelt ist klar, aber ich fand, dass Lee trotz aller Eskapaden über weite Strecken des Buches „normaler“ rüberkommt als man es vielleicht beim Anblick seiner durchgeknallten Performance erwarten sollte. Wirklich „umwerfend“ fand ich TOMMYLAND nun nicht, eher eine kurzweilige Lektüre für zwischen durch – aber da man auch nichts anderes erwarten sollte kann ich dies dem Buch nun nicht zum Vorwurf machen. Lee ist ein echter Entertainer, und dies stellt er auch bei TOMMYLAND unter Beweis.

Insgesamt gibt’s von mir vier Sterne.
