Well, at least the torso of a well-nourished twenty year old.

And not link sonic youth, unless they have mutated into a straight ahead rock band in the last few years since washing machine.

Hmm. That ain't no good.

They sounded much like this: Pretty good. But something's missing, right?

That's garbage Spot--the best rock show I ever saw was Iggy at Coney Island High in 1995, when he was a young 'un of only 50!

And Judas Priest? I heard no wank. Get your musical comparisons straight jack!

In front of a Judas Priest cover band.

Better to keep our memories.

Still--CAN'T FRIGGIN' WAIT!!!

(Oh and Idolator: they recorded an awesome track "You Better Run" last year on the Junior Kimbrough tribute as The Stooges.)
