Life and Career of Tommy Lee 

Early Life and Career of Tommy Lee

Lee was born in Athens, Greece. His mother, Vassiliki "Voula" Papadimitriou, was Miss Greece in 1957, and his father, David Thomas Lee Bass, was a US Army serviceman of Welsh descent. He has one younger sister, Athena Kottak, who is currently the drummer of Kottak. His family moved to California a year after his birth. Lee received his first drum when he was four. However he received his first real drum kit when he was a teenager. At that time, he was listening to Kiss, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest.
After transferring from South Hills High School; he joined the marching band at Royal Oak High School in Covina, California, but dropped out of school in his senior year to focus on his musical career.
His first successful band Suite 19 played the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles during the late 70s. At this time he met future bandmate, Nikki Sixx. Casually, Sixx was forming a theatrical band that would specialize in anthemic heavy metal, and was impressed by Lee's playing. Sixx, Lee and Leon started jamming together, but Leon decided not to continue. At this time, he changed his name to Tommy Lee and earned the nickname "T-bone" from Sixx.
He got this nickname due to his tall 6ft 2 inch (189cm) skinny physique. Shortly afterwards, guitarist Mick Mars joined the band. Mars recommended a singer Tommy met at high school, Vince Neil, who soon joined the group, and the infamous Motley Crue was formed.

Tommy Lee (born Thomas Lee Bass; October 3, 1962) is an American musician. He is known as the drummer for glam metal band Mötley Crüe and ex husband of actress Pamela Anderson.

Tommy Lee Goes to College is an NBC reality television show 

It features Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee attending the University of Nebraska

Tommy Lee Goes To College began broadcasting on Tuesday, August 16, 2005 and on VH1 on Friday, August 19, 2005. It features Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee attending the University of Nebraska and attempting to fit in. Six episodes were produced.

The show features Lee, who is a high-school dropout, facing collegiate challenges like finding a roommate, trying out for athletic teams, trying to join a fraternity, studying chemistry, and trying out for the marching band.

Even though the show is considered a "reality show," much of the plot is scripted. Contrary to what is shown in the show, there were casting calls for parts in the show. The show featured silly things like Lee starting a fraternity (with its own house) called "House of Lee," and its newly recruited members breaking into the art museum at night to vandalize and install their own artwork. A disclaimer at the end of the show revealed that while Lee attended classes, he did not actually enroll at the University of Nebraska and that certain situations were generated or edited for comedic effect.

The administration of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln decided to host the reality show in the hopes that it would increase positive exposure to the university for recruiting and public relations purposes.

Lee is also one of the producers of the show.
