For what it's worth Pearcy is better than Micheal Wharton (neil's real name). Blotzer f'ed that up bossin' everyone in the band around.
Never knew that was his real name. lol
Crosby kinda fucked Ratt up a little more with the drinking, heroin, and AIDs stuff. Saw them with Poison when I was 14 or 15 on the Dancing Undercover/Look What the Cat Dragged In tour respectively, and they were both great. Actually met Bobbi Dahl and Bret Michaels, and they were both totally cool. It wasn't until years later when I realized that the two girls that went behind the bus with someone on it and then got onto the bus about 10 minutes later had just done him a favor, and that later when Bret came out of the bus and talked to us, he had probably just finished up his turn. LMAO!

Ahh...to be young and naive again

I finally saw Crue about 6 years ago on the tour for the last studio album they did (at least that I'm aware of). They put on a great show, but Vince's voice live and on a "record" are worlds apart. He shortens the lyrics to every song, because he doesn't have the breathing ability to sing the whole line. That tattoo chick Katt was dating Nikki at the time, and in town to sign her book at the same time as the show. We ran into her in a hallway when we got lost so my friend could step outside to smoke. Said hi, and that my friend (not the one I was with) was a big fan of her work, could I take a pic to send to him and she just said no and kept walking. I didn't ask to take one with her as I could give two shits about some reality "star". She had some diva going on, but I will say that her face was incredibly beautiful in person. Legs were like toothpicks tho. Would not it......would take a blow

Final tour came here quite some time ago with Alice Cooper, and I passed. Seems like their final tour will be like Ozzy's and just last a lonnnnggggg time
