MÖTLEY CRÜE - Tommy Lee Tells Why He's Banned From Coachella In Video With Deadmau5

Jeff Giles of Ultimate Classic Rock reports: Ever wondered what it might be like to drive around shooting the breeze with MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee? Thanks to the latest episode of Coffee Run, now you can find out.
The web series, hosted by EDM superstar deadmau5, takes a page from Jerry Seinfeld‘s Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee show, in which the Seinfeld star tools around in various vintage vehicles while talking about the art of comedy with fellow legends. Of course, deadmau5 isn’t a comedian, so you’re not likely to see him chauffeuring David Letterman anytime soon. Instead, his guests include the likes of Lee.
In the episode (which you can watch in its entirety above), the duo discusses a wide variety of subjects, including what it’s like to get drunk and accidentally give away your valuables and which parts of Greece are best for partying. Highlights include Lee’s explanation of Mötley Crüe’s decision to retire, as well as some reminiscing about the time Lee and deadmau5 were permanently banned from the Coachella music festival.
Remembering that the promoter was so angry “he was shaking,” Lee recalled how the incident was set off when he and deadmau5 made an unorthodox entrance on the festival grounds. Amid much laughter, the two admitted, “We just landed a helicopter in a field with burning vans.”
