Having just seen the new Tommy Lee video for the song Hold Me Down, I’m tempted to just ask, “why?”
Why is Tommy Lee singing, and why was it recorded using a drum machine? Why is the video a lame cross between Queensryche’s Silent Lucidity and Linkin Park’s One Step Closer?
Tommy is not a singer. He’s not a frontman. He looks like someone’s dad trying to front a band of 16-year-olds. Oh, and the video is pretentious. I’m tempted to say the song might be good, but I can’t get past all the other stuff to tell.

YOWZA!
Man, that video is one of those things where you just cringe while watching it, ’cause you’re just embarrassed for *everyone* involved.
Hey, Tommy - get *behind* the kit, man. a.s.a.p.

i’m embarrassed by this resurgence of dinosaur L.A. hair-band rock. watching Poison on Late World With Zack last night was….ugg. almost unbearable.
i’m all for rockin’ for life, really, but making a parody of yourself in a cheap grab at a come-back? put down the hairspray, guys. walk away from the cameras, and make some REAL music–then come back and we’ll see how things go.
