Tommyland Kindle Edition

Great read at a great price.

This book Tommyland by T Bone Lee Motley Crue's drummer Tommy Lee was down to earth.I enjoyed reading all of it How his father always encouraged tommy in whatever T Lee was into and going to get into the advice tommy recieved the one about Heather Locklear Don't mess this up and the one where his father tells T Lee don't get a girl pregnant just hit home with me cause that's what my dad told me and if you do don't come home all that stuck with me for a long time. T Lee says that at the time he didnt have the tools to deal with his anger problems but i was kind of wondering where did he get those anger issues? His upbringing didnt fuel those issues as far as his party days goes i was looking for more stories from him and his band mates now i finished reading this book about a month ago and i cant remember much of it that it was heartwarming like when he visited his high school music teacher and the time spent with the passing of his father and his incarseration behind bars all of that was well told very true and honestThis book was made for T Lee and Tommy Lee shines all the way thru it and in it Good reading for all fans and fans alike Best wishes for you and yours T Bone T Lee

For the most part I liked the book. He and his ghostwriter wrote chapters and then stuck them in a book basically which is OK, but sort of rambly. I will say it was a cute format though and I enjoyed that his "dick" stuck in his two cents all the time. (You will have to read the book to see how he did that.)Here is what I got out of the book. His 7 year marriage ended to Heather because she didn't want to have kids yet and he did so he went to a porno shoot site and let a porno girl give him a BJ. Heather finds out within a few hours that he did this and the marriage is over. What a waste and who would do that to Heather? I am sure she would have wanted to have kids down the road. Count this as his first time to shoot himself in the foot.With Pamela, he gets a bit rough with her over nothing really and pushes her in the hiney with his foot while she is holding their 4 month old son and then he proceeds to shove her and the baby hits it's head on a blackboard. Not cool and the second shooting of his foot.And of course his engagement with Mayte, Prince's ex-wife, ends because he really isn't ready to get married again and she wants a baby and he doesn't because he has 2 kids by Pamela. I don't know whose foot is shot here - Mayte's or Tommy's. She is probably better off that she didn't marry him.He talks a lot about his jail time and it seems this was his Crying Time as he did a lot of that while in jail. He talks about his parents a lot - he loves them dearly (his father passed away in 2001) and that is nice to know. And last, above all, do NOT disturb him if you see him out in public. There are several pages towards the end of the book that says over and over - don't bother me if I am with my kids or eating or laying on the beach in Bora Bora or wherever. He loves his fans but does not want to deal with them anymore nor listen to their stories of how his music changed their lives. This is one lady that Tommy will not have to worry about because if I saw Tommy drowning or about to fall off a cliff I would just let him because God forbid I say hi to him and that I like his music. I have always thought of Tommy as a good looking, sexy guy and the best of the best of drummers. I just know I don't want to meet him anymore. His book is not bad - it could have had a little more detail on his marriages and he didn't mention Bobbie Brown at all, but it is still a readable book. I liked Dirt better. But again - if you are a Tommy fan you will like the book.

After reading, 'The Dirt', you still feel dirty. So where can you continue to hear about the bad boys of rock? A great start is 'Tommyland.' I work a 9-5, walk in a straight line, pay my bills, and repeat. It makes me happy that I can read about amazing circumstances which propel regular people to the pinnacle of success and how they handle it. All I can say is that each of the Motley Crue band members are soldiers who have continued to do all the things an average man wished he could do. Most men would be dead one year in. These guys did the job for the average man, so we could live vicariously through their exploits. At the end of the day, they were so-so musicians who honed their skills into an incredible blues riffed soundtrack to our lives. I say buy the book.

I am fascinated by the number of people on here that say that this book is "deep" or really "tells it all" and that kind of thing. Neither are true in the least. Sure, Tommy is a real person, with real feelings, but, HELLO, I think most people could figure out that much on their own. And there are other books that tell a lot more about Motley Crue and their antics besides this one. This has a different feel.This book is poorly organized and completely disjointed. But it's a party, so who cares? It's like hanging out with Tommy for a few nights while he gets all excited about various topics. After the first night swapping stories at the bar, he calls you at 3am because he just thought of something else, then the next day you go to his house at 9am for some breakfast and a few shots, then hang out in the pool acting stupid, whatever. Tommy Lee is one guy with a real lust for life, and if you have a pulse, it is contagious.This book can be finished in a couple of afternoons, or even in one sitting. Don't pass this up if you like to have fun. Jump in there and read it and hear about Tommy's random thoughts ranging from big girls to Jagermeister. It is a great way to lighten your life for a few hours.

Arrived on time, like new, excellent job.

Llego en buen estado

Avendo già le biografie di Nikki e Vince (oltre a The Dirt) non potevo non acquistare anche quella di Tommy. E' sempre divertente leggere come i singoli membri dei Crue raccontino lo stesso episodio in maniera completamente diversa tra di loro, ma li adoro (anche) per questo.

Great laugh, awesome to get first account insights of Lee’s experiences.
