	is getting mad press (that's how Tommy would phrase it I think). Bands from the 80's getting press like this, like S Bach, and especially the Rock of Love show, Michael Sweet in Boston - It's making our generation more acceptable - It's a good thing. What's NOT helping - Def Leppard

	who gives a fuck when a band started??? Maiden is a 80's band also, and Metallica, Megadeth and many more, and all of the used to dress like asshole just like anyone did in the 80's. but at least people had fun then, the werent depressed about nothing like people in the 90's. and now everything is getting banned. if the music is good then it doesnt matter how old or when you where most popular or whatever. The Crue are great live and have just put out a good album wich getter better with every listen so good for them.

	Most Crue stuff is okay by me. It's Def Leppard that makes my poop run wet which makes me very sad.

	...is it like "make poverty history"? Will the bands suck so much that it will kill rock? just like the other bands they take with them on tour?

	COMMENT \| hhhhmmmm posted by : Damnation for All 8/1/2008 7:44:43 AM

	Sounds familiar.....Oh wait, didn't Ozzy do that just a few years ago? The only difference, Ozzy actually aired his on tv . Let's see......OzzFest - Cruefest; Unknown band opening for Ozzy on Ozzfest - Unkown band opening for Motlley. Both 80's icons, toured together, and friends. Not too ground-breaking, IMO
