Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee celebrating one-year sober, says he used to drink two gallons of vodka a day

October 16, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee is celebrating one year of sobriety. During an appearance on Bill Maher‘s Club Random podcast, he opened up about just how much he used to drink in his heyday.

“It’s just — it’s easy to fall in love with, the way it makes you feel, the way it makes you relax, and then all of a sudden you’re, like, ‘F***! I’m drinking two gallons of vodka a day?'” he said. “This is not … You’re trying to kill yourself now.”

While Maher couldn’t comprehend that much drinking, Lee swore he wasn’t exaggerating, noting he was able to drink that much for a long time. He added, “Your liver is on crutches at that point; it’s just barely functioning.”

Luckily, Lee said it hasn’t done too much damage to his body.

“I just did the full body scan, where they do, head to toe everything, and I can’t believe — smoking, drinking, all the f***** dumb s***, or the fun s*** that I’ve done. Dude, the doctor was, like, ‘You’re good’,” he said. “I can’t believe… I pinch myself on a daily basis.”

Mick Jagger continues to stoke the friendly rivalry between The Rolling Stones and The Beatles

October 16, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Mick Jagger seems to be stoking the friendly rivalry between The Rolling Stones and The Beatles.

During a 2021 interview with The New Yorker, Paul McCartney stirred things up when he suggested The Beatles were the better of the two bands because “the Stones were really just a blues cover band.” Well, apparently Jagger hasn’t forgotten that.

During an interview with The Times of London, Jagger was discussing McCartney’s contribution to The Stones’ new album Hackney Diamonds, out October 20, when McCartney’s comments were brought up again. “Well, the Beatles were also really just a blues cover band when they started out,” Jagger responded. “Every band is a cover band at the beginning, because that’s how it goes.”

But Jagger doesn’t actually seem upset by McCartney’s comment. In fact, he’s had a lot of fun with it.

“When we’re on tour I like to say that someone is in the audience when they’re actually not, to create a big moment, so I said one time, ‘Paul McCartney is here tonight. He’s going to come up on stage and play some of our blues cover tunes,’” Jagger said. “I texted Paul to say thank you for his comment because it has given me a lot of comic material.”

Mick also got in one more crack about The Beatles before the interview was over. When asked how he wants his band to remembered, Jagger said he only cared about The Stones being known as “a good rock band.”

“There is going to be The Beatles and there is going to be The Stones and together they will represent the rock era,” he said. “The Stones are much longer lived, obviously.”

October 16, 2023 by WDNY Radio

David Lee Roth is back with some new music. In case you missed it, the former Van Halen frontman shared the previously unreleased tune “Manda Bala,” which translates to “send a bullet.”

The song release came just three days after Roth celebrated his 69th birthday on October 10. It dropped on what happened to be the 76th birthday of his Van Halen replacement, Sammy Hagar, October 13.

Roth did not reveal when “Manda Bala” was recorded, but the last time he confirmed he was recording music was in 2014 when he went into the studio with current Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5.

While this is the first new song from Roth in years, since mid 2022, he has treated fans to new takes on several Van Halen songs, including “Unchained,” “You Really Got Me,” “Dance The Night Away,” “Panama,” “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love,” “Everybody Wants Some!!” and “Atomic Punk.”
