Drummer Tommy Lee's 360 Drum Rollercoaster, which can be seen on MÖTLEY CRÜE's summer tour, is featured in new video footage below:

Larry Rodgers at AZCentral.com recently caught up with Tommy Lee. An excerpt from the short Q&A session is available below:

Q: Given the excesses you wrote about in The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band, did you think the band would make it to its 30th anniversary?

A: "If you had asked me that back then, I would have said, 'Yeah.' I never really saw me personally slowing down and certainly not the band.

Q: Do you have any regrets about being so open through the years about life in the band and offstage?

A: "All of us pretty much wear our emotions and secrets on our sleeves. We never pulled a punch, ever - literally (laughs)."

Q: How do you feel as you start to wind down your 40s?

A: "It's so just like a number to me. It's bizarre. My oldest son is about to turn 15, and he was born, it feels like, just a couple small years ago. It's a cliché, but when you're having fun, the time definitely does fly. The craziest thing is, I feel like I'm 14."

Q: Has drumming kept you in shape or do you work out?

A: "I work out in the gym, too. I go in spurts. I get bored, and I'll do something else or play drums. I work hard, and I play hard. I put one of those pedometers on my ankle one day because I was (wondering) after a 90-minute or two-hour show what this equated to if I was jogging. I took the thing off after a show, and it said 13 miles. So if there are any toxins in my body prior to the show, it's safe to say they are gone after the set."
