Episode 65: Methods of Mayhem Articles (Patreon)

Well, I hope you've had time to digest the MoM episode. What a wild band, what a wild time. And of course, the articles are appropriately insane, particularly the Metal Sludge one. Enjoy. Oh, I'm gonna embed the article links in the article titles now. Probably should've done that ages ago, it looks way better. But I am stupid.

Metal Sludge: "Classic 20 Questions: 1-on-1 with Tommy Lee" (October 1999)

Truly and genuinely one of the most insane interviews of all-time, and might be the "second most 1999 thing ever" next to the album itself.

Variety: "Concert Review: Methods of Mayhem" (March 23, 2000)

We very rarely cover reviews on this show, but I felt it was important to cover a live review of MoM here, just to give the sense of how badly Tommy Lee was mailing all this stuff in.

Rolling Stone: "Q&A: Tommy Lee Tells All" (October 29, 2004)

5 years removed from the MoM release, but some questions about it come up here and Tommy says his usual litany of stupid shit.

Stereogum: "We've Got a File On You: Tommy Lee" (October 15, 2020)

These Stereogum interviews are really great, and Tommy says his pat line about how MoM was ahead of its time (it wasn't) and talks about how Motley Crue never did payola (they almost certainly did), among other great nuggets.
