MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee is featured in a new interview with Noisecreep.com. An excerpt is available below:

Q: Are there things you do to reinvigorate the old songs on tour?

Lee: "Nikki [Sixx] and I do other things besides Mötley and I think that brings in new ideas, new blood, so yeah, there's always that. I think when we start rehearsing for the tour, Nikki and I are the most conscious about keeping things new and fresh with different arrangements, different segues, or switching it up enough to where it's fresh, but not changing it to the point where people go, 'What the f--- are they doing?' You can do that too. I think the fact we do some other things outside Mötley lets us bring those experiences, some of the best of those experiences, back into Mötley.

Q: Is there a certain type of acceptance where you realize people just want the big rock show, so you give them that and the best version of that spectacle you can?

Lee: "Yeah, we've tried to switch it up in many different ways. Recently we played an album in its entirety. We did Dr. Feelgood, and that was cool because it wasn't us playing a bunch of new music that people may or may not want to hear. But we altered the show so when you did buy that record you probably listened to it from top to bottom, so we played it in that order and maybe tried to relive some of that experience. As far as new music goes, and people say it all the time, 'When are you guys gonna make a new record, dude?' It's like, 'Really, why?' No one buys them anyway anymore. And I'm not sure what the reason is. To tell you the truth, I think the days of making a record, for me personally, are over. After this last Methods record I did I'll never make another full record I think. It's a waste of time cause people can only ingest a song at a time, so why not make bitching songs at a time and release them. If you want to call them singles, great, whatever; or at its maximum, an EP, four songs, done, boom. I just really feel like the days of the entire record are long gone."
