Tommy Lee

Tommy Lee is the stage name of Thomas Lee Bass, drummer and founding member of the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe.

He became tabloid famous in the 1990s for his marriage to Pamela Anderson and a leaked sex tape.

His name evokes the excesses of 1980s rock culture—tattoos, parties, and spectacle.

He's got that Tommy Lee energy.
