According to a posting at ResidentAdvisor.net, MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee was threatened by armed guards in Croatia last week after the owner of a local club determined that Tommy's DJing/percussion performance at the club fell short of expectations.

Launching a new tennis centre in Croatia last week, Subliminal Records head honcho Erick Morillo was DJing with Lee on percussion at a party attended by tennis great John McEnroe and the rich and famous locals. According to a local spokesman, the owner of the club didn't appreciate Tommy's performance: "The owner didn't think Tommy played long enough, and just wasn't into it," the spokesman said. "Suddenly, on their way to the after-party, Tommy was surrounded by Croatian armed heavies, and Erick, sizing up the situation, urged pal Tommy to leave with him immediately on his private chartered plane."

With armed heavies demanding a return fee from the eccentric drummer, the duo promised a check in the mail and fled the scene. The plane returned to Ibiza where Tommy Lee and guests apparently enjoyed extensive after-party celebrations.
