00:01:22.000Thanks, thanks, which is such a trip, dude.
00:01:26.000You know, like he's 29 and um, he's getting married, and I'm just I've been kind of tripping out on that, like, dude, where the did that time go, right?
00:01:39.000I'm so fucking happy for him that he's been seeing this girl for seven years.
00:01:48.000I'm so proud that he did exactly the opposite of his dad.
00:02:11.000You use some patience and some love and like mix it all around and put some time in there, and you know, shit's like your survival rate is going to be way better, way better.
00:02:25.000And your happiness rate, I think, if you're a kid and your dad is Tommy Lee and you've had such a fucking crazy, chaotic life, he's probably like, slow down, give me a fucking yard and a picket fence, and whoa, totally, totally.
00:02:39.000That's why, like, in you know, in the drift of everything, I'm really surprised and I'm really happy he just like.
00:03:37.000And if you have any sort of shit magnet attached to you, like, you know, the shady friends and the weird circles, you just kind of screw it.
00:06:10.000I always say to people, like, There's a couple of things that are involved with that whole thing.
00:06:15.000There's some luck, some talent, timing of things.
00:06:23.000When those things kind of all line up and it happens for you, and it just happens at fucking supersonic speeds where a lot of it's a fucking blur.
00:06:35.000Like a ton of it's a blur where you have to have somebody else remind you.
00:08:05.000Um, anyway, we play, we play our show back in the dressing room after we're done.
00:08:13.000The Stones tour manager comes into the dressing room and goes, Tommy, I was like, yeah, it goes.
00:08:19.000He goes, Mick and Ronnie Keith would like to see you, and I was like, Brad, I fucking head over there, and dude, this is 20 minutes before they're.
00:08:33.000To go on, I go into their world and they got they bring a bartender around with them, so there's a guy set up just slinging drinks.
00:08:45.000Uh, Mick isn't hammered, but Keith and Ronnie, dude, they were walking on their lips.
00:08:53.000I'm talking shitty, like, hey, falling over with their guitars 20 minutes before they go on stage.
00:13:58.000And I think that research, I don't know if you call it a resurgence, or just that style of like, there's certain things that were really great that have stood the test of time.
00:14:11.000And I And I really think that the way shit is now, man, there is too fucking much.
00:14:34.000And if I can't keep up, how can a fan of music keep up?
00:14:37.000So I just, I think that the excess of.
00:14:43.000It's just static and it's really blown a hole through for, you know, original stuff, you know, really good stuff because a lot of the stuff is all kind of sounding the same now.
00:14:59.000But I just, I think that it's been a cool progression that's sort of fueled that.
00:16:22.000But it's also, look, it's all overall positive because you have more artists and more people that are doing what they want to do.
00:16:29.000Yeah, more people that are making music, which is awesome, but like it's the same thing with movies.
00:16:34.000Can you imagine you had to watch every movie ever made?
00:16:36.000You have to be a million years old, you'd never finish exactly.
00:16:41.000It's not enough hours in the day, yeah.
00:16:43.000It's the same, it's the same musically, uh, what's happening musically that's happening with everything, entertainment, yeah, yeah, films, television shows.
00:16:53.000There's an abundance of like it's just too much.
00:16:58.000How do how do people, I mean, people got these, you know, uh, You know, TV packages where they've got subscriptions at 4,000 different places, and you still can't find anything to watch.
00:17:13.000You're like, what the fuck is happening here, everybody?
00:17:16.000We got to like peel it back a little bit, make it a little easier here.
00:18:13.000And that affects the people who create the stuff because you realize I'm dealing with a bunch of fucking six year olds here.
00:18:22.000And if my shit isn't banging within the first, whether it's a movie or a song or whatever it is, whatever your art is, if it's not fucking ripping your face off and grabbing your attention within three or four seconds, you're next.
00:18:43.000So then that affects people who make the stuff because they really got to put the best shit up front quick or else you're going to lose everybody.
00:20:15.000Well, think about some of the songs from the past that would never pass mustard today that are just amazing classics, like Whole Lot of Love.
00:20:21.000So, Whole Lot of Love, you have a minute and a half fuck sounds with symbols.
00:20:26.000Before it comes back to this insane guitar solo.
00:20:53.000Meanwhile, it's one of the greatest anthems in the history of the world and perhaps the greatest guitar solo in the history of the fucking human race.
00:23:57.000I want to get one of them fucking $2 million cars.
00:24:01.000These cunts, they exist in every walk of life where one person is like a creative type that's not business oriented, and you need a business person.
00:27:57.000Despite its major success, the song is sometimes associated with the end of his career as a singles musician due to the music video, which was described as one of the worst ever in a 2011 book, I Want My MTV The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution.
00:29:35.000Yeah, that one, man, I can't tell you how fun, how rewarding that is to sit back and, like, I don't know, the Super Bowl's on and the fucking kickoff.
00:29:50.000We got to cut it out, but I want to hear it.
00:30:42.000Isn't that fucking wild, the power that music has?
00:30:45.000Like the Reich kind of song, you know, everybody's different, but there's nothing better than like, like I get goosebumps, bro, with something comes along that just, and it gets inside you.
00:32:23.000You, I want to ask you a question because you're into all this fucking crazy shit.
00:32:30.000I saw somewhere recently, and this just goes along with that feeling, that euphoric feeling you get when the right notes or frequencies hit you.
00:32:42.000I saw that through sound, certain frequencies, like some dude in China, some doctor in China, or is it Japan, is this close to healing fucking cancer through.
00:33:03.000I haven't seen it, but I wouldn't be surprised.
00:33:05.000I wouldn't either because, you know, it just fascinates me because there is those frequencies out there that you know about them 432, 432 hertz.
00:33:31.000Our music, like Bach Beethoven, back in those days, was tuned to 432 hertz and and this is the conspiracy part about it at some point and people say, Hitler changed the, the tuning, the pitch of music, and now everything was raised to 440 instead of,
00:34:01.000You know, 432 instead of 432, now it's at 440.
00:34:07.000It's up and it's in the frequency is more aggressive.
00:34:11.000And it was said that it was done to give the soldiers more fucking, you know, angst and you crank this music.
00:34:20.000Well, they were also given a meth, excuse me.
00:34:22.000They were also given the meth between meth and kickstart my heart.
00:34:26.000Fucking so much of the Nazis at kickstart my heart would have been a real problem, dude.
00:34:30.000No, no, kickstart my heart in German, yeah.
00:34:35.000Yeah, that would have been a real problem.
00:34:36.000I'm just curious because I know that you're into that kind of stuff.
00:34:40.000If any sound therapy or healing through frequencies, if you've heard any of that stuff.
00:34:47.000Well, I know people do sound baths where they'll do these meditation experiments where they lie on their back and they have someone that is making sounds.
00:35:26.000That also contributes to it, but the actual sound itself is affecting your body in a very profound way.
00:35:32.000And I wouldn't be surprised that there's ways that sound could provide therapeutic.
00:35:37.000Therapeutic benefits to people that are injured, that are healing, sickness.
00:35:42.000I mean, if you were lying in a hospital bed and you felt like shit because you just had surgery, but you're listening to some dope music, wouldn't that be better than just listening to people moan in the next room?
00:36:10.000You know, when you're in the mood to not really listen to music, but.
00:36:16.000Hear music where it's just playing in the background, and I'll just put there's these YouTube videos of these beautiful Japanese gardens in Kyoto or whatever, and there's like high def shots of these just beautiful, you know, bonsai trees, koi ponds, big Niwaki bonsai, like, and it's just so chill.
00:36:42.000And with that music, and I just put it on, it's kind of on a lot, actually, and I find myself that's where I go to like.
00:37:33.000I was like, I need this in my life somehow.
00:37:36.000I don't know what this is, but let me go down, you know, down the tube here and figure out what that is and how I can get some of this into my life.
00:37:45.000And I found some fucking videos on doing bonsai work on trees and I started and I haven't stopped.
00:37:58.000Man, like I'll be out there for hours every day, like I'll start my day just being with nature and being with the trees that I'm working on, and I got like a workshop dude, it's like a.
00:38:11.000There's like in progress works on the bench, there's other ones I'm bending, there's ones that I'm, you know, treating for pests.
00:38:23.000You know It's a whole world, wiring everything, training it to where you want to go, pruning.
00:38:31.000It lets me escape everything for a couple of hours.
00:39:30.000And you find that other parts of the world, now that you get into it, I mean, there's in Taiwan and China, there are some fucking insane bonsai.
00:39:39.000And I think it actually originated in China.
00:39:42.000And the Japanese took it and altered it in ways and did it sort of their version.
00:39:47.000But I think it originated in China, if I'm not mistaken.
00:40:08.000I have two of them that are over 300 years old.
00:40:11.000So, someone was working on them over 300 years ago.
00:40:16.000Well, either that or it was collected maybe 100 years ago, and then over that time, it's just constantly been, you know, cut back and cut back.
00:42:07.000It's interesting because a lot of, you know, my peers, musical buddies, like, they're all of them are super interested.
00:42:16.000They're like, dude, what's up with the bonsai?
00:42:18.000Like, I. Like they're curious, they want to know, yeah, because maybe they've seen me, you know, maybe change a little bit over the years, or they've seen how much joy it brings me, and they're like, Yeah, I think I want some of that.
00:42:31.000I'm not sure where there's something about like a Zen garden that you associate with like bonsai and peacefulness and clarity, yes, you know, just peace of mind, yeah, just clean mind, like your mind is pure, you're like, you're really in the moment rather than just.
00:42:49.000Being a fucking mess ordering Uber Eats.
00:43:02.000It really has a lot to do with sort of the culture of all of it.
00:43:07.000Like when you start going down that hole about design and all that stuff, you start to realize that everything that at least the Japanese do is with such fucking purpose.
00:43:21.000Like you'll notice in And I didn't notice this stuff until later.
00:45:22.000I mean, there's something about those zen gardens that's so attractive to people, yeah.
00:45:26.000It's obvious there's something going on with that design, with that flow of nature and the way it's artistically pieced together.
00:45:33.000It's very exciting to people, and you see it, man.
00:45:37.000I don't know if you've noticed, I'm you had to notice, you see it in a lot of the like newer architecture, a lot of the designs and homes are being built with that.
00:45:47.000Sort of very minimal Japanese flavor that is just meant to have your home be a peaceful place and not like a fucking museum or this or that.
00:46:02.000Yeah, it's more peaceful in the actual design itself versus like some house with big giant ass fucking windows overlooking the big city and fucking rocks everywhere and like, oh, slow down.
00:46:48.000Whenever I go to New York City and I'm staying in a hotel and I'm in the middle and you'll see all the buildings, like, wow, this is crazy in the center of it.
00:49:45.000But we're not really protecting parks.
00:49:47.000We're just getting drunk and talking shit.
00:49:49.000But it's called Protect Our Parks because Ari, on one of the early episodes, was ranting and raving about they're going to fucking take down this park and turn it into apartment buildings, and they wound up doing it.
00:56:36.000I think I was going through that phase because I hadn't ever tried that, tried everything else, but nothing.
00:56:43.000Um uh, and yeah, I don't know man, it's the last vice of a lot of people in recovery.
00:56:51.000Yeah, and then you and you got, and then you know, you got guys like Keith Richards, who's just ripping cigarettes still, and i'm like he's fine and like I i've, i've gotten, i've gotten my my lungs and done the whole like prenuvo, but like body scan to see all your shit, and they're like you're good.
01:00:05.000I just think they're just looking at data that these people that have high olive oil content in their diets seem to not have any problems with cigarettes or not have nearly as many problems.
01:01:05.000They were talking about Europeans, yeah, here it is, especially Mediterranean rich plant diets consume substantial polyphenols from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, tea, olive oil, and wine.
01:01:16.000Polyphenol intake is linked to better cardiovascular risk profiles and lower long term heart disease risk and overall mortality in observational studies.
01:01:27.000Because that's the other thing about cigarettes it's not just cancer, it's also heart disease.
01:01:32.000And so polyphenols have antioxidants and Anti inflammatory effects, but current evidence does not show they can neutralize the cardiovascular cancer or lung damage risk from smoking.
01:10:50.000It's literally, we have gotten to a place where everything to me, like we are at just epic, stupid proportions where you're just like, not a day goes by where I'm like, that's fucking ridiculous.
01:15:14.000And you're like, if I do this consecutively every single day, I wonder what, add that time up over, you know, whatever, however many years, and I'll bet you people would freak the fuck out.
01:16:43.000You just put your fingers on the wheel and just chill.
01:16:46.000And now all you're doing is sitting for an hour and a half instead of constantly hitting the brakes, constantly hitting the gas, constantly hitting the brakes.
01:16:52.000Now you're just chilling and you can get to just like listen to your book on bonsai.
01:16:59.000I don't know about you, but like if I start, you know, you start reading a book, just you know, your eyes focusing and reading, they get tired.
01:17:08.000So you get more in listening to it, an auditory version of it, rather than for me at least, sort of, sort of, I stressing on reading and doing all that.
01:17:21.000Yeah, I get tired and then fucking lose interest.
01:17:24.000Yeah, there's definitely something to that.
01:17:28.000Reading always makes me want to go to sleep.
01:17:30.000Especially reading at night helps me fall asleep.
01:19:02.000You're taking away some of your attention on what you're doing to pay attention to this other thing, and it's definitely making you less good at either one of those things.
01:19:09.000And if one of them is very simple and it's like it doesn't matter, okay, you could be distracted.
01:19:14.000If it's two important things, you're robbing each important thing.
01:20:31.000And when he works out, he has these workouts where, famously, he'll take professional fighters and they work out with them and they can't keep up and they're just throwing up.
01:20:38.000I just can't believe how much this guy works out.
01:20:41.000And he's doing it easy where he's just talking to them the entire time and they can't keep up.
01:20:45.000He finished eight 100 mile marathons in eight consecutive weekends.
01:20:50.000So he ran 800 miles in eight weekends.
01:25:23.000Motley did, we did this movie called The Dirt, and it's based on our autobiography from certain years, from this year to this year.
01:25:35.000And it kind of like, it shows how it fucking was.
01:25:42.000And one of the coolest things ever is when I'll see emails from fans or questions from fans, and they're like, dude, Was it and these are from like you know 18 year old kids are like was it really like that?
01:26:00.000When you guys were rocking shit like that I was like 100 They're like fuck We and they're bummed.
01:26:11.000They're like we will never ever get to experience that fuck Like it was just full on till the wheels fall off no that you could get away with fucking murder Literally, there's no phones and no.
01:26:29.000This was at a time where anything goes.
01:27:53.000I mean, dude, he would, my dad would, built us a pyro.
01:27:58.000Fucking he, like, drilled out these, or cut these big blocks of wood, ran electrical prongs up through the wood, and then you take a little small wire and you connect the tube, put a pipe over it, Fill it with gunpowder, and we'd be out in my backyard, dude.
01:28:19.000And the neighbors would be all of a sudden just like fire.
01:28:22.000There's these fucking mushroom clouds in my backyard, and the neighbors are like, What the fuck is going on?
01:30:02.000So I had, and with cymbals, they're meant to hang a certain way.
01:30:07.000They're not meant to hang upside down.
01:30:09.000So I had to make all these crazy adjustments technically to pull it off.
01:30:13.000But we figured it out with the hi hat too, because a hi hat would, you know, the two cymbals that, they would just, if you're upside down, they just, They just go open.
01:31:44.000Everybody's kind of leaving, and I'm like, Where the fuck is everybody going?
01:31:48.000That guy is murdering the fucking drums right now.
01:31:53.000And y'all are like, He failed to capture their attention.
01:31:58.000And from that moment on, I went, I need to figure out A, how to give the audience a better view of what you're actually doing there because people can't see.
01:33:41.000The physical fitness involved in playing drums must be really crazy.
01:33:44.000Like, if you didn't play drums for like a few years and then picked it up again and started again, it'd probably take forever to get that endurance back.
01:36:27.000And everybody's, you're kind of like, you're the fucking heartbeat, man.
01:36:32.000You're really, everybody's kind of, you know, people say your band's only as good as your drummer.
01:36:40.000And that's really fucking, It's really true, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a drummer, but the drummer has a lot of responsibility, man.
01:36:47.000Everybody, all the people that you see out there that are moving, I'm responsible for a lot of that.
01:36:56.000I'm not saying it for all of it, right?
01:36:57.000You sort of set the pace, you know, and you're making people physically move, yes, like that.
01:37:08.000That's that takes a lot of work, you know.
01:37:11.000So the amount of energy you're putting out, you're getting back, and you're seeing it, and you're like.
01:37:34.000I learned on my own until, I mean, kind of early in high school, I played in the marching band, but that wasn't really like drums.
01:37:44.000That was more like, like drum corps stuff, like rudiments and like you know, drum corps shit.
01:37:52.000It not really the whole kit till later.
01:37:55.000Um I, I got the school, my high school, to let me or sorry, my grade school to let me borrow with the drum, the jazz drum set at the school, and i'd bring it home and then I started just like listening to my favorite and I would just play along and I so I never really took any physical lessons, I just It was just in me, man.
01:38:18.000I was just like, I'm really good at hearing something and going, oh, okay, I got it.
01:38:23.000Did you have to learn how to hold the sticks?
01:38:24.000Do you hold the sticks in a conventional way that you're taught, or did you just figure it out on your own?
01:38:47.000Just figured out how to do it on his own.
01:38:49.000It's really interesting how, like, with you know, when you just get an instrument and listen to other people use it and learn how they're doing it and just kind of fuck around with it and figure it out.
01:39:07.000Well, if you think about early rock and roll versus the way drums are played, like you play, or like Travis plays, like some elite drummer plays, it's like drums are so much more powerful now than ever before.
01:41:18.000They're like, they look like a fucking flying saucer.
01:41:20.000Oh yeah, I have brass yeah, and they're really melodic, really beautiful Zenny sounding instrument.
01:41:27.000That's cool because it's percussive and melodic so you can come up with these really bitching depending on how the instrument's tuned and stuff.
01:42:01.000I'm always searching for a new sound, you know, a new percussive sound that moves you, makes you fucking, I don't know, that gets inside you.
01:42:25.000I'll turn it into something that sounds like a drum.
01:42:27.000And all of a sudden, you know, that, you know, I don't know, hitting on these elk horns or something sounds like a woodblock, but pitched way, way down, it more sounds like a note going, ooh, ooh.
01:42:43.000Like, I'm just, I love percussion and rhythm.
01:45:18.000No, you ever write on computer or do you ever like just write in your own head?
01:45:23.000You ever just like, I use a computer a lot too, um, a lot for, excuse me, for demos.
01:45:28.000That's a really quick way to, you know, where I can present a song to the band where you know, I play guitar, sing, drums, bass, so I'll bring in demos that totally created by you.
01:45:43.000So, yeah, just sounds they sound finished, you know, it's like, okay, and then you know.
01:45:49.000So, yeah, I always try to like, you know, not finish everything entirely because, you know, when you're in a band with three other guys who also create, kind of leave it open for that.
01:46:02.000But, yeah, I'd use the computer a lot to sort of compose the ideas and get them recorded, sort of produce them.
01:46:13.000It's really beautiful that, you know, Motley Crue hit in 1980.
01:47:08.000You know, have you ever seen what the, you know, we always want to think about the sun being in the center of our solar system and the planets spinning around it.
01:47:17.000But have you ever seen what the whole solar system looks like, like moving through space?
01:47:22.000The whole thing's moving through space.
01:55:13.000In the glove box, this is before like now we have you know a bunch of super rad tuned exhaust, you know, uh, you know, straight pipe, loud as fuck.
01:55:28.000And in the glove box, like if the cops were to come, you just open the glove box and take these two, they're like choke levers, and you pull them out, and the flaps would disconnect them and just go straight from the headers out and bypass the mufflers.
01:55:46.000So it would just be like, and if the cops were coming, you just push these two choke levers in and back to the mufflers, all quiet.
01:55:56.000Yeah, they have switches for that now with a lot of cars, like custom made cars.
01:56:01.000They have exhaust switches that do that, but they don't do it to that extent where it just goes straight pipes.
01:56:27.000The big fucking pipes blowing right just loud as fuck.
01:56:31.000Like four inch exhaust, like, yep, dude, that's throaty and just tiny little car, little fiberglass car, yeah, go kart with a 427 in it, crazy power, no weight at all.
01:56:43.000It weighs nothing, yeah, it just does burnouts the whole time.
01:56:48.000I have a buddy of mine who has one of those, it's nuts, like, but it freaks me out.
01:56:51.000It's like, there's no protection here.
01:56:53.000If you get in an accident, like, there's like nothing to this car, yeah, you know, you have no roof, you don't even have a roll bar, it's like just got this little tiny windshield, you're behind the wheel of an engine, just a giant engine with.
02:02:24.000Like, yeah, it's a ridiculous amount of money.
02:02:26.000It's not worth it, really, for a normal person.
02:02:28.000But if you have, like, an insane amount of money and you could experience that, the thing Ferrari fucked up on big time is they took away the manual transmission.
02:02:42.000They're the only one smart enough to realize, like, there's a part of the experience that you got to fucking wham, wham, that gated shifter where you're clacking them in there in a Ferrari.
02:08:04.000Oh, dude, yeah, those kind of cars will definitely check you, uh, keep you in check too, because it's not until you know over a hundred miles an hour, it's getting closer to 200 miles an hour to where you're in that car and you're like, it hits you.
02:10:21.000You know, so I was like, we're definitely going to spin out.
02:10:24.000Yeah, learning how to do it was really interesting to me.
02:10:28.000It was really interesting to realize, like, the lines that you take.
02:10:31.000Like, you don't just go in the middle of the track all the way.
02:10:34.000No, you're hugging the outside edge, then the inside edge, and cutting the lines to make a quicker time, and knowing when to brake, and knowing when you accelerate.
02:16:16.000You let people, you know, you don't have enough people that are smart, that are artistic around that are going to look at that and go, hey, hey, hey.
02:17:03.000Well, that's what they probably should because most of the other car companies that do make electric cars, people really don't want them.
02:17:08.000You know, like the Porsches, the Ticans, like those Audis, like the Audi ones that are just like a couple of years old, you can get them for like half price.
02:17:53.000Those things have gone through the roof lately.
02:17:56.000Like, but the Porsches, I just know so many guys that are just like buying them up, collecting them.
02:18:03.000Well, I think also as things become more electric and more numb, people like they really love the sound of engines and the feel that you get from those cars, the actual experience of it.
02:18:16.000It's like as things get more and more digital, I think with AI and music and everything, people are going to want to see live performances more.
02:21:34.000Yeah, just to see that you've sort of, you know, you've, I don't know, just you've done a full circle to where now it's the whole other generation that's just now seeing this for the first time and they're fucking, and you're sitting back there playing going like, that's pretty fucking incredible.
02:22:18.000In the last few years, you look out and you see a whole bunch of kids, man, and they're all just checking it out for the first time, maybe.
