Editing Methods of Mayhem (section)

==History==
Lee formed Methods of Mayhem on the eve of his divorce from [[Pamela Anderson]]. The band's [[Methods of Mayhem (album)|self-titled debut album]] was released in late 1999 and went on to be certified gold. The album featured appearances by [[Fred Durst]], [[The Crystal Method]], [[U-God]], [[Kid Rock]], [[Snoop Dogg]], [[Lil' Kim]], [[George Clinton (funk musician)|George Clinton]] and [[Mix Master Mike]]. "It's pretty good for what it is," Lee's former Mötley Crüe band member [[Nikki Sixx]] conceded in 2000, "I guess you'd call it rap-rock."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Dave|last=Ling|title=We are lüdicröus!|magazine=[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] #12|date=March 2000|page=48}}</ref> The band disbanded for the first time in September 2000.

In March 2009, Lee announced that he was reforming Methods of Mayhem and would start recording new music. Drummer Will Hunt, guitarist J3, guitarist [[Phil X]] (who contributed to the first album), and touring bassist Marty O'Brien contributed to the sophomore album, ''[[A Public Disservice Announcement]]'', released in September 2010. A live performance on ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'' saw [[Morgan Rose]] (of [[Sevendust]]) playing drums, DJ Aero on turntables, J3 on guitar and vocals, and Lee on vocals and guitar. No bass player was on stage during the performance. Methods of Mayhem later signed to Loud & Proud/[[Roadrunner Records]].

On April 2, 2019, it was announced that Lee had resurrected the project and had plans to release a new album in the future.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Tommy Lee's Methods of Mayhem Returns After Nine Years|url=https://loudwire.com/tommy-lee-methods-of-mayhem-returns/|magazine=[[Loudwire]]|access-date=April 2, 2019|date=April 2, 2019}}</ref>
