Motley Crue's Tommy Lee Discusses Smashing Pumpkins Contribution
. Lee was on the stool for recording of Pumpkins album Monuments To An Elegy, due out next year. And the duo say they couldn't be happier with how it all worked out, with Lee insisting he was made to feel particularly valued by Corgan's enthusiasm. Lee tells ABC Radio: "Kind of out of the blue I got an email from his manager, who was like, 'Hey, Billy would like to talk to you about playing on the new Smashing Pumpkins record,' and I was like, 'That would be amazing, I would love that.'" After hearing a bunch of demos, Lee says he told the Pumpkins frontman: "You have a hit record on your hands, dude, and yes, I want to be a part of this." Lee adds he was blown away when Corgan leapt off his chair after one drum take and began shouting "This is exactly what I want. Oh my God. Finally." He adds: "I was like, 'Wow'. It was just really cool to be appreciated that much. I just haven't felt something like that. It was really, really cool." Read what Corgan had to say here.
