Tommy Lee Responds to Criticism Over Exposed Genitalia at Mötley Crüe Show
Mötley Crüe drummer and exhibitionist Tommy Lee is catching flak after asking concertgoers to expose their breasts and genitals at a show on Wednesday (September 7th) at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Lee’s recent affinity for whipping it out has overflowed into Mötley Crüe’s live show. After unabashedly posting a full-frontal nude selfie on his social media accounts in July, Lee made light of his unsolicited dick pic by pulling an actual dachshund out of his shorts at a Los Angeles concert late last month. The drummer also encouraged male and female fans to expose themselves at several shows, getting a number of audience members to oblige. As reported by the Bay Area’s ABC7, concertgoer Juan Alvarez attended the San Francisco concert with his sister and said it was “traumatizing” witnessin...
Tommy Lee Launches OnlyFans: “Cum Join Me Over There for Fun”
Tommy Lee really wants to keep showing his junk to the world, and doesn’t want anything getting in his way. At the final show of Mötley Crüe’s “Stadium Tour” at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Friday night (September 9th), the drummer revealed that he has joined OnlyFans — and he did so by mooning the audience. Last month, Lee posted a full frontal nude selfie on all his social sites. The “dick pic” was removed from Instagram and Facebook, but still remains on Twitter. The drummer later explained he was on a “bender” when he shared the photo online, but apparently he has no regrets about it. In fact he kept mentioning it at just about every Motley Crue show since, even telling a crowd at a Los Angeles show, “Let me show you my fuckin’ wiener” before jokingly pulling a real-life dachshund...
Aerosmith Rock 50th Anniversary Show at Boston’s Fenway Park: Photos + Video
Aerosmith were finally able to celebrate their 50th anniversary in grand style on Thursday night (September 8th) with a hometown show at Boston’s Fenway Park. The concert was originally set to take place in 2020, but was twice postponed due to the pandemic. The landmark gig marked Aerosmith’s second show back after the pandemic and Steven Tyler’s recent rehab stint kept the band off the road for two-and-a-half years. They warmed up with a concert in Bangor, Maine, this past Sunday (September 4th). After an opening set by fellow Boston rockers Extreme, the Aerosmith boys kicked off their set with “Back in the Saddle.” Joining original members Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford and Tom Hamilton for the career-spanning 19-song set was drummer John Douglas, who is filling in for Joey Kramer as he...
Wolfgang Van Halen Shares Clip of Himself Shredding “Eruption” to Mark Anniversary of Van Halen Classic: Watch
Eddie Van Halen recorded his legendary shred guitar instrumental “Eruption” 45 years ago today this week. To mark the anniversary, the late rock icon’s son Wolfgang Van Halen posted a clip of himself ripping through part of the track in the studio in 2015. Wrote Wolfgang on Twitter: “In honor of Eruption being recorded 45 years ago today, here’s me playing part of it on the guitar it was recorded on in 2015 while tracking some guitars for the first @MammothWVH … Love you, Pop” Wolfgang lets loose and comes very close to replicating his dad’s virtuosic talents. “Eruption” stands as one of the greatest guitar instrumentals of all-time and could be considered the earliest example of the guitar shredder style, as it was released on Van Halen’s self-titled debut in 1978.

Ozzy Osbourne performed a two-song set at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Thursday night (September 8th) during halftime of the NFL’s season opening game between the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills.

Thanks to fan-filmed footage on...
Tour Mates Dirty Honey and Dorothy Talk Life on the Road, the State of Rock, and More
Dirty Honey recently kicked off a North American tour, and were just joined on the bill by Dorothy for the remainder of the outing. There’s a mutual admiration between the two acts, so touring together seems like fate.

I love her tunes, love what she’s doing, and we know a lot about her band already. She’s really t...

Greta Van Fleet’s Sam Kiszka: A Lot of “Popular Music … Almost Insults People’s Intelligence”
