Tommy Lee

Good Times

Label: Steamhammer Release Date: 07/11/2005

11752
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly November 14th, 2005

In which Tommy Lee pukes his mind into the stuffy basin of his frat house and... well, nothing much else happens, really. Hmm. What else would you expect from a man whose brains are smaller than his dick?

Tommy-mania will no doubt ensue in the coming months, when we get to see him hitting some books in some program about his adventures in college. This is the tie-in single, and whoever writes the 'Bizarre!' column in The Sun loves it. I think he’s even playing live drums in a couple of DJ sets around Shoreditch-way. Regardless of this fact, I hope he doesn’t find my house just up the Kingsland road - because, with crushing predictability, this song is awful.

This record is the sound of a man detached from his surroundings; every second is a crisis that Tommy seems oblivious to. Every second is a step closer to him becoming not just a faded, sleazy rock-pig; but the sleazy rock-pig friend to that infamous group of songwriters – J. Blunt, C. Martin, F. Healy – who may just have perfected the craft of music making to such an extent that they are able to force its insides out through a straw. Guts sucked out, walls fall’n in; Prom-king Tommy writes galaxies full of musical vacuum that numb the brain like heaped barbital, (‘cept he never wrote this, some man did, somewhere and no-one I know knows his name. Do you?).

Ah who cares, just chuck me some more weak, pissy beer…Rock on, brah! Yeah.
