Video just surfaced from a Motley Crue show in Kansas City, Missouri earlier this month that has some people saying Tommy Lee could be using a backing track.The video posted to YouTube shows the stage and a roadie getting the drums setup.

Then Tommy doesn’t sit down at his kit fast enough, and the count-in for “Looks That Kill” starts even before he starts “playing”.

  No one. And I mean no one looks cooler playing guitar than Slash. Goldtop was perfection and Gibson guitars owes a lot to slash for revitalizing the brand.

  Jimmy Page purchased this from Joe Walsh. It was used in every Led Zeppelin live show and on ever record they made. Priceless.
