I always hated Motley Crue, but remember this album getting promoted in 1997.
The best part of Todd’s video is him goofing on the song lyrics to “Brandon” which are just facts like, “Your mother gave birth to you” and “Brandon, I love you, I love her, she is your mom”

This was a band that Todd was especially happy to rake over the coals.
One of the comments was from a security guard who had to do a show in Philadelphia and while I can't repeat everything that happened on here, you know that your act is shit when Machine Gun Kelly is your special guest.

I looked up the full lyrics and with the possible exception of the 'chasing clouds' line (unless that's meant to be literal), it seems like he doesn't know the first thing about subtlety, metaphor, symbolism, word-play, or song-writing in general. I guess I could give him the benefit of the doubt and say maybe he dumbed the lyrics down on purpose so that his son could understand them, but even then it still had no business being released on an actual album.

I think he mostly wrote his drum parts and left the heavy lifting to Nikki. If you think "Brandon" is bad, Tommy's nu metal album makes it look like Leonard Cohen.

The amateurish lyrics of Brandon make me wonder if Tommy's ever written a grocery list before that, much less a song.

It's the kind of song Nikki should have patronized him about before putting it on the fridge with a magnet

Holy shit, Brandon is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. I wouldn’t expect Tommy Lee to be a Fiona Apple level lyricist, but goddamn.

I'll admit that Crue is one of my guilty pleasure bands (though their pre-90s albums always had at least one solid song). But Generation Swine just felt like a utter bomb of an album.
And since Todd did an album on a Glam Metal band, when's he gonna take on Nu Metal again and eviscerate Limp Bizkit's "Results May Vary" album?

Language AND content warning
(Yes, that is a spoiler warning that he talks about the controversy as well as the song)

I keep confusing Morgan Wallen with Grayson Waller due to the similar last names.
