Jake E. Lee recently spoke with Tone-Talk. The former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist questions a story recounted in Motley Crue’s, The Dirt, about the Prince Of Darkness snorting a line of ants.
Lee said,” “I was there, and I never saw ants. I was right there. He snorted a little spider. There was a not a trail of f–king ants there. [Mötley Crûe drummer] Tommy [Lee] says it, Nikki says it, Ozzy says it — they were f–ked up. I was not. I was just trying to get a f–king sun tan. That’s all I was doing. They were getting f–ked up. Ozzy snorted a little tiny stupid spider that was crawling across. There was no ants — there was no f–king ants. I don’t care what the other guys say — there was no ants.”
What about the “urine” portion of the story, Lee stated,”Oh, that was true. It started with a contest. It was Nikki and it was Ozzy. I think it started in the pool. They were in the swimming pool, and they kind of raced, and, of course, Ozzy lost. And [they had] a push-up contest, and, of course, Ozzy lost. Ozzy was getting tired of losing, and he stepped it up. I do remember at one point, Ozzy was sitting there. He got this weird look on his face. He was sitting on the concrete, and piss started flowing out underneath him. And he was obviously doing a lot of vitamins, ’cause [the urine] was, like, lime green. So Nikk Sixx, I remember, pissed on the girl he was with. She was lounging. She was not happy about it. Ozzy pissed on the ground. [Nikki] saw that and he went over and pissed on the girl that he was with in the lounge chair. And that’s when Ozzybent over and started licking his own green piss up. That’s where I said, ‘Okay, I’m outta here.’ Not only is that happening, there’s families on the other side of the pool — children and mothers and fathers looking horrified, like, ‘What the f–k is going on over there?'”
He then added, “That is my recollection. And Ozzy snorted this little spider that was crawling across. There was no ants. It’s a minor detail.”

Well that’s a relief. For a while there, I was under the delusion that one of my favourite artists was nothing more than a pathetic vulgarian.
Thanks for clearing that up, Jake!
None of this remotely funny. All of it is just vulgar and disgusting. These guys are all 60+ years old talking about this vile filth. Imagine trying to get your son to listen to this stuff and he reads things like this (I’m old school and nobodies daughter is interested in men who urinate on women ((nor should they be)). This is what it’s come to? Pathetic. DON’T GO AWAY MAD, JUST GO AWAY.
Do you need a ladder to get on and off your high horse Mike?
Dear Harold,
Is it a high horse to find licking piss and pissing on another person disgusting? I’m in it for the music. This site has cool stories and good information. Also, stories like the one about Dave Holland and the ongoing saga of Vinny Vincent are truly interesting. Not to mention the one and only Shannon informing me of the FORBIDDEN remaster is quality information. Heavy metal can be very intellectual. The song BRAVE NEW WORLD by IRON MAIDEN is a flawless interpretation of the great Aldous Huxley masterpiece. YOU ARE PLANNED AND YOU ARE DAMNED IN A BRAVE NEW WORLD. RUSH as men are very boring but the music is engaging. I didn’t say anything about drug use, I just think the last few MOTLEY CRUE stories show the band members to be stupid and vulgar. I’m a CRUE fan and I think that they’re great but I’d rather hear NEW TATTOO than read about pissing, girl swapping or whatever else.
Maybe that spider gave ozzy super powers!
Spider – RIP
I was young and crazy once like we all were , but Christ Almighty you have to be completely..totally morally bankrupt to do this at a public pool in front of parents with kids…I can imagine them all laughing like drunken idiots too , this is just not something to brag about , this is just sad- I knew better even when I was in my 20’s drinking picking up girls and hanging with my friends , I did a lot of crazy stuff
but there is a line you just dont cross – i’m sure drugs erased that line for them…
