Morgan Rose Of Sevendust Interview on Filling In For Tommy Lee On Drums For 3 Shows Of Cruefest 2

In this Episode of Crue Cast, a podcast is all about the most infamous band in rock history Motley Crue! I, Jason the resident CrueHead share a snippet from an interview I did with Morgan Rose of Sevendust on the time he filled in for Tommy Lee during Cruefest 2.

SEVENDUST drummer Morgan Rose filled in for Tommy Lee at MÖTLEY CRÜE's last three shows of Cruefest 2 in 2009. On August 14 at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio; August 15 at Clarkston, Michigan's DTE Energy Music Theatre; and August 16 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Post-Gazette Pavilion.

Lee was off his kit for several Crüe Fest 2 shows after burning his left hand while playing with a set of sparklers.

"Rose came charging in like a knight in shining armor" according to a note on bassist Nikki Sixx's MySpace page.

Lee, who had his left thumb and forefinger wrapped in bandages, still took part in the shows, coming on first to explain his absence — "First of all, I suck. I was having fun and I burned myself," he told crowds at the various concerts— then handed a bottle of Jagermeister to the crowd and, during the encores, he played piano on "Home Sweet Home" and thumped on a drum with his right hand for "Girls, Girls, Girls", according to Billboard.com.

The last time Lee was forced to sit out a MÖTLEY CRÜE gig was June 12, 2007 when he was he recovering from another arm ailment. EVANESCENCE/DARK NEW DAY drummer Will Hunt filled in for Lee at that show, although Tommy did manage to take to the kit for one number — the immortal "Kickstart My Heart".
