I give this 2 weeks before he goes home crying because "they treated him badly" but in reality he's just a gay bitch and sucks to be around. Give it up. Why does anyone even give this egotistical fat fck a chance?

This band is a guilty pleasure of mine, but I've only seen them once because they always tour with crap bands. Also thought it was lame the 1 time I saw them the singer couldn't handle most of her clean singing parts live & just used a pre-recorded track for those parts during their set.
