Tommy Lee Reveals Father Built Motley Crue's Early Pyrotechnics in Backyard

What was said

"My dad would build us pyro. He drilled out these big blocks of wood, ran electrical prongs up through the wood, and we'd be out in my backyard, dude, and the neighbors would be all of a sudden just like, fire! There's these fucking mushroom clouds in my backyard."

Tommy Lee disclosed that his mechanic father helped construct Motley Crue's early stage pyrotechnics in their family backyard, creating explosive devices that alarmed neighbors. Lee described how his father also built drum risers and lighting rigs, providing crucial technical support during the band's formative years in the early 1980s when they had limited resources.
