What was said

"It's 9 minutes total. I'm wrecked. I'm on the oxygen bottle when I finish. I go all the way out and then I do it all backwards. By the time I get done, I'm sitting there with the oxygen going while Mick does a guitar solo."

Tommy Lee described the physical toll of his stadium roller coaster drum rig, which suspends him upside down while playing. He explained he must use supplemental oxygen after the nine-minute performance due to the extreme cardiovascular demands of drumming while inverted, requiring modifications to pedals and cymbals to function upside down.
