it was the evolution of their music that set them apart from their 80s peers but its also sad to see some guys stay so much in the past and not grow up...when you 25 loaded and a rising star maybe you can be arrogant some times...when you are in your late 40s, much less succesful and stuck up in your past you ought to yourself to be wiser...
