Nikki Sixx was looking forward to a highly theatrical and heavy metal band and he realized that he found his drummer when he saw Lee performing. Sixx convinced Lee to leave Studio 19 and join him in the Mötley Crüe band.
Lee suggested his high school singer friend, Vince Neil, to round out the new band. Under the band’s own independent label, Mötley Crüe released their debut album Too Fast For Love in 1981.
