Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step:
There's enough make-up and hair products on these boys to stock a Shopper's Drug Mart. They're so damn pretty. As usual, Black got half-naked as soon as possible. Yee haw. You have to love a band with an on-stage bartender. Black's as much of a dictator as ever, screaming orders at audience and always managing to make them like it.
