Tommy Lee, Accordion Player (yes, that Tommy Lee)

Before Methods of Mayhem, before making all those charming home movies with Pamela Anderson and even before playing with the Crüe, Tommy Lee was an accordion player. Here’s an excerpt from an interview with Guitar.com:

Guitar.com: You’re one of the world’s most respected rock drummers. Did you ever think you’d be doing an interview about your guitar playing?

Tommy Lee: I didn’t! But I’ve been playing guitar in the closet, so to speak, forever. My first instrument was guitar… no, accordion, actually! The funny thing is, it was an electric accordion; you could plug it into an amp. And I was like, “Oh, the accordion is so gay, but I can plug it into this amp and get distortion.” I plugged it in and would play the guitar line from “Smoke on the Water.” I would crank it up!

Raaaaaawk!
