Methods of Mayhem was an American rap metal band formed in 1999 by Tommy Lee, who had temporarily quit his position as Mötley Crüe's drummer.

History

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Lee formed Methods of Mayhem on the eve of his divorce from Pamela Anderson. Their first self-titled album was released in December 1999 and went on to be certified gold. The album featured appearances by Fred Durst, Crystal Method, U-God, Kid Rock, Snoop Dogg, Lil' Kim, George Clinton and Mix Master Mike. The band disbanded in January 2001.

Tommy Lee announced that he is reforming Methods of Mayhem, and would start recording in March 2009. Rumors of new members such as drummer Will Hunt, guitarist J3, guitarist Phil X (who had contributed to the first album), and the return of touring bassist Marty O'brien circulated. While an official touring line-up still has yet to be confirmed, it is known that each of these members have contributed to the latest album. A live performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno saw Morgan Rose (of Sevendust) playing drums, with DJ Aero on Turntables, J3 on guitar and vocals, and Tommy Lee on vocals and guitar. There was no bass player present. Methods of Mayhem recently have been signed to Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records.

Style

The band's self-titled debut featured a rap metal style,[1] while A Public Disservice Announcement was more varied in style, covering genres such as rap rock,[2] nu metal[2] and dance-rock.[2]
