Comment:
They're old, they drink, fight and swear a lot. Kinda like watching Uncle Bob dealing with his new colostomy bag. They're also COMPLETELY out of control.

Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step: Falling on the floor what seemed like every three seconds, the band could really use a wheelchair or two for support. I don't know if they've thought about Ritalin, but it might really calm the nerves down.

Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step: Not like you could understand anything that was said, but judging from the pencil drawings that cover the singer's arms, you're probably better off not knowing. At one point, I swear his dentures just about popped out mid-howl.

Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step: The band has a fashion sense that seems to scream, "We know we're about to die, and I want to be buried in this outfit." The drummer even forgot to put his pants on when he left the house. Round the clock nursing care hasn't helped things.
