Mötley Crüe supported Ozzy Osbourne on the North American leg of the late Black Sabbath singer’s Bark At The Moon tour in 1984. In a new interview with the Zach Sang Show, drummer Tommy Lee looks back on the trek.
Asked how crazy it was it to be on tour with Ozzy, Tommy shares, “Dude it.. some people lost brain cells, marriages. Yeah, that was insane. Put it this way, Sharon was not happy with us, at all. She she was like, she would come out on the tour a lot because she’d get called out, you know, like the Mötley guys are bringing shitloads of girls backstage after the show and there’s all these girls running around back here and it’s a fucking party everywhere. And Sharon was like, ‘Nope.’ She would fly out immediately. She took all of our, you know, after show passes from us. We’re no longer allowed to have any guests backstage. She cut us off when we made special shirts, it’s like a smiley face with a bullet hole in it and it said The No Fun Tour. Cuz she came out and just literally shut it down. She like, there’s no way this is going to continue. And when I say continue, I’m talking about till the wheels fall off shit. Like partying and being insane. It was It was bad for Ozzy to be around.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Tommy talks about Mötley Crüe getting back on the road, their evolving dynamic, and his newly reimagined Atmos-certified release Tommyland Rides Again. Watch below:
Tommy Lee recently unveiled Tommyland Rides Again, a bold reimagining of his second solo album Tommyland: The Ride, available via 604 Records. This refreshed edition breathes new life into the original project, mixed by Tommy and Smiley Sean at Tommy’s own Dolby Atmos certified studio. They were able to give each track all the love and attention to create something that was just sonically impossible back in 2005. For the first time ever, the album will also be available across digital streaming platforms, including an immersive Dolby Atmos mix, offering listeners a richer, more dynamic audio experience.
On the reimagined record, Tommy Lee shares, “The cover art invites you to take a ride inside my twisted musical world and experience its new life after 20 years. And in Dolby Atmos.”
The announcement was accompanied by the release of “Good Times” (feat. Butch Walker), the original album’s lead single and theme song for Tommy Lee Goes To College — along with an HD upscale of its official music video.

Tommyland Rides Again also introduces a brand-new bonus track, “Stupid World” (feat.Chad Tepper), arriving alongside an accompanying music video. Tepper, a former professional skateboarder and alt-rock artist with a social following exceeding 4 million, brings a fresh, high-energy dynamic to the collaboration. His 2023 single “Rockstar Dreams Like Tommy Lee” makes the pairing feel like a natural full-circle moment, bridging influence and inspiration in a way that underscores the enduring cultural impact of Tommy Lee.
Originally released in 2005 alongside Tommy’s book of the same name and his NBC hit series Tommy Lee Goes To College, Tommyland: The Ride was a fully realized snapshot of Lee at his most wide-ranging. A record that blew past genre expectations and pulled in an all-star cast of collaborators spanning rock, pop, and punk. Produced by Lee and Scott Humphrey (Mötley Crüe, Fuel, Rob Zombie), the album featured guest appearances from Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden, Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter, and Walker himself, among others.
Tommyland Rides Again will be available on vinyl format for the first time this fall.
