MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee has fired back at Ted Nugent after he slammed him as “a convicted felon, domestic violence h*roin addict.”
As previously reported, Nugent discussed his recent appearance on Sammy Hagar‘s AXS TV reality series “Rock & Roll Road Trip With Sammy Hagar.”
“The producers wouldn’t let [Sammy] near me, even though he and I go way back; we’re dear friends,” Ted said. “They thought I was dangerous, that I’d come out with a machine gun or I’d slaughter an innocent fawn on television. This is stupidity! I said, ‘So your producers were afraid of me, but they did a show with Tommy Lee, who’s a convicted felon, domestic violence h*roin addict.’
“They’re okay with this guy, but not with the Ted Nugent ‘Kamp For Kids’ charity, teaching kids to be clean and sober. I said, ‘Sammy, coldcock those sons of bitches and get out and let’s do the show.’ So, finally, they dangerously acquiesced, and we did the number one Sammy Hagar ‘Rock & Roll Road Trip’ show.”
Lee now responded to Nugent on Twitter, writing: “Ted Nugent? ….Is that guy even still alive? ….. I thought he shot himself like 20 yrs ago.”
