HYPOCRITE
Tommy Lee wouldn’t do Motley Crue meet n’ greets for money, but sells personalized messages online
The Internet — Hey, who wants to pay Tommy Lee $ 250.00 for a pre-recorded 30 second video?

Well if ya like, head on over to Cameo and get your credit card ready.

The site has a whole list of available celebrities from NFL stars, to musicians, actors and even Youtubers.

That’s correct, you can pay Tommy Lee to say stupid stuff like, “Hey I heard about your new tattoo” and “It’s cool that you rock drums.”

It seems a bit hypocritical of Lee, who refused to do meet n’ greet with fans on the last Motley Crue tours.

Lee himself blasted the idea on Ultimate Classic Rock in 2013 saying: “For those of you that are asking why I am not doing anymore meet and greets: It’s got nothing to do with me not wanting to meet the fans, I just don’t agree with doing it under the certain given circumstances. I love u all and I’ll gladly high five y’all if I see u out n about – and u won’t have to pay me for that.”

It was obvious that Lee felt like charging the fans to meet him was not cool, so he refused to participate.

A few quick searches show that the basic “Crue Teaser Package” was $ 295.00 and the “Kick Start My Heart Meet N’ Greet” was $ 899.00, which also included a photo with Motley Crue.

Lee continued on his rant back in 2013 with: “How to kill a vibe in 1.2 secs! Whip out your [expletive] cell, turn the flash on too or shoot video with the light on the whole time! It’s not the pictures that bother me! It’s the boring [expletive] standing there taking pics and not being in the moment of what’s happening!”

But now it’s okay to whip out his cell phone and film a stupid video clip, which we’re guessing is “in the moment” and “happening!”

Feel free to visiti  Cameo and see several samples of Tommy Lee giving lame ass shout-outs for money.

It appears that being on tour with Motley Crue or backstage with Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and the fans was “not in the moment” enough for Lee.

But him sitting on his patio smoking cigarettes is “happening” and worth his 30 seconds of time.

Can you say lame?

We can.

NO EXCUSES
Stephen Pearcy of Ratt apologizes for live Ratt debacle: “There is no excuse for my behavior”

LOS ANGELES, California — After what could be considered his worst ever live performance, Ratt singer Stephen Pearcy has owned it.

Metal Sludge was first to report on the live show that took place in Huntington New York at “The Paramount.”

Our report includes fan first hand accounts and various videos that show Pearcy in questionable state of mind.

At some point during the live show, band bassist Juan Croucier makes a statement regarding his singer from the stage.

Croucier noted Pearcy was “in a lot of pain” but also said, “we’re not canceling” informing the crowd they would do their best.

Pearcy has now taken to social media today and has taken full ownership of his actions.

The band’s founder and lead singer wrote in an online statement: “I want to apologize to RATT fans for last night’s performance and especially to those that were at the show.”

Pearcy continued: “I am dealing with a pain management issue due to a bad knee that is scheduled to be replaced in January. And last night I made the critical error of adding alcohol to my pain meds while on stage, and it destroyed my performance.”

The band Ratt have been playing some East Coast dates in recent days.

Including the New York show on September 26th where the less than desireable performance took place.

“Again there is no excuse for my behavior. I sincerely apologize to RATT fans, my band, Live Nation, my friends, and family.” wrote Pearcy

Metal Sludge are big fans of the band Ratt and of Stephen Pearcy.

We truly hope that he can get whatever it is he needs in the way of help.
