A video shot at the Motley Crue show in Kansas City on July 19th appears to show the Crue using a backing track for drums. Watch when Tommy Lee climbs up on his kit in time and missed the cymbal count-in to “Looks That Kill,” which played over the sound system before Tommy had drumsticks in his hands. Do no forget, Tommy is recovering from broken ribs and has been on light duty for the first part of the tour.
Let me first admit, the only musical instrument I play is the radio - BUT - it certainly looks like the drum tracks are being used.
