It was a dream come true for a fan of Motley Crue. For one night, he filled in for injured drummer Tommy Lee.
The lucky guy, Harvey Warren, performed with the rock band Wednesday at the Enmax Center in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, Motley Crue's publicist, Dvora Vener Englefield, said in a statement.
"After playing multiple shows wearing a brace and taking anti-inflammatory injections, Tommy Lee's doctor instructed him to give his injured right-hand wrist a break after his tendinitis made it difficult for him to perform," Englefield said.
Warren, a Calgary resident who manages a Starbucks by day, moonlights as a drummer in the Canadian Motley Crue tribute band Broken Toyz.
Lee, 43, hopes to return for a concert Friday in Prince George, Englefield said. There are six dates left on the tour.
Some years back a roadie filled in for James Hetfield with Metallica when Hetfield was burned. They asked Axle Rose who was back stage but that piece of garbage wouldn't do it thank God.
Pretty big shoes to fill.
looks like a drummer.
Thank God!
Axle would have murded the songs.
Reminds me of the movie "Rockstar"..I think
I saw an interview with the guys of Metallica. They were clearly duisgusted with Rose. They said he sat there with a whiskey in one hand and a cigarette in the other and said his throat wasn't up to it.
Have you seen recent pictures of him?
Awful! He looks plastic.
The lucky fan didn't say he "also wanted to fill in for Tommy Lee while Mr Lee was with Pamela Anderson..."
Wowee! Tommy is still looking (very) good :)
I remember that. Axle threw a tantrum on stage and left in a huff. I never liked him after that display.
Only thing I like from GNR is "Appetite for Destruction."
