[Alex Smith]

I did, but it's on the hard drive of my former computer, sadly (never managed to get it onto my `blog in time before dismantling it). I'll try and prize it from it again sometime. Basically I said they were just another hair metal band and not nearly as "gritty and punky" as so many would have had you believe. I don't care how many TSOL or CBGB shirts you wear in a video -- a white trash power ballad remains a white trash power ballad.

Alex in NYC
