i'm guilty of having written them off as nothing more than hair back in the day. then i started working with a (much younger) hardcore fan at my current job and we've listened to a few of their older albums and they're a notch above their peers (poison / warrant etc.) in my eyes.

it's not like they re-define rock music or anything like that but they mashed the glam, rock, and metal elements of their day into a very unique package. i'd put them on par with van halen overall.

reading The Dirt was actually quite insightful into the group as well, it's interesting to see how some of the members changed (nikki) while others are still come of as narcissistic as ever (tommy and vince). or in the case of mick mars just how out there he is hahaha.

i've also had 'kickstart my heart' stuck in my head for about 2 weeks now after hearing it on the radio during a road trip a while back hahaha
