Tommy Lee, the staple A list Hollywood rocker, has been working hard on the new Methods Of Mayhem record. What you might not realise is that this is not your everyday, run of the mill record. You can actually be apart of it!

At his website www.thepublicrecord.com, Tommy Lee has been posting up unfinished tracks (called stems), which can be downloaded by you the fan. Then you have free reign to record whatever you want, on whatever instrument over the top of Tommy Lee's tracks. Once you've recorded what you think might make the cut of the record, simply upload and Tommy will do the rest!

Public Mayhem is the fitting title for the new album and Tommy Lee, along with the legendary producer Scott Humprhey, has been updating The Public Record website nearly everyday with video updates showcasing the progress of the album, and the material that has been sent in by fans across the world.

Watch the short video below to hear Tommy explain exactly how easy it is to become apart of this ground breaking public initiative. Then head over to The Public Record when you are ready to become apart of it because the new track Swallow Me is now available!
