'Fight Song' - the first single from MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee's new METHODS OF MAYHEM album, A Public Disservice Announcement - is now available via iTunes. It's also streaming on Tommy's official MySpace.

'Two Ways'

'Talk Me Off The Ledge'

Autographed copies are available for pre-order from Roadrunner Records.

Lee compares A Public Disservice Announcement to its predecessor, the self-titled debut from 1999."This Methods isn't anything like the last one. There's no hip hop and there's no roster of guest stars. This time, it's me, my band, and the world."

Tommy and his team, including producer Scott Humphrey, singer-guitarist J3 and others, wrote and recorded the songs for the new album, then made the core components of each available for download on ThePublicRecord.com to anyone who wished to add their playing or otherwise re-interpret the music however they saw fit. Lee listened to every single submission that was uploaded, chose the best, and integrated the actual audio tracks into the album's final cuts. Every single musician whose part was used is credited and thanked on the album.

The song files were made available on The Public Record on October 5th, 2009. By the end of the submission period in February, 2010, the page was viewed over 1 million times and over 10,000 submissions were uploaded. What came back once the public got its hands on the raw ingredients was truly all over the map - just as Tommy Lee had hoped. The diverse submissions included techno tracks sent in from Japan, hand drum rhythms from India and searing guitar solos from as close to home as San Diego.
