Motley Crue - Tommy Lee's Rant Over Picture-taking Fans

The drummer is fed up with being asked to pose for photographs when he is off duty, and insists his only responsibility as a rock star is to "entertain" when he takes to the stage.

In a post on the Motley Crue Facebook.com page, he rages, "I f**king Love my fans! And you know this! What I have a problem with is... Taking pictures! I hate it! Irritates the f**k out of me when people say... you owe it to your fans, they put you where you are, etc., etc.! I certainly don't owe anybody anything! When I bought all my Led Zeppelin records and concert tickets I didn't say, 'One day these f**kers are gonna owe me a picture...'

"I'm not here to take pictures with you, I'm here to entertain you! Nobody put me where I am but ME! They may have helped inspire me with their love for what I do... but I put myself right here where I want to be with a lot of hard work, practice, talent, luck, etc."

The rocker also wants to be left alone in another place where he is regularly recognised - public bathrooms.

He writes, "Ya wouldn't wanna handshake standing at the p**ser (urinal) in the men's bathroom next to me would ya?... And yes that's happened to me too... Or when your (sic) eating a nice quite (sic) meal with your family, some rude jack**s comes up and asks for a picture! You can't even imagine what kinda crazy has happened to me."
