I have a huge distaste for them. They purposely write cheesey lyrics, and are parodying metal (mostly 80's metal) in general, they're taking it to the extreme in the weird glam sense. In that way, they are similar to Spinal Tap which takes away from the whole purpose of even doing it in the first place. If they are indeed serious about their music, then I must be losing my mind. Either that or sum corporate *****s up there figured it out for "us" and I still can't see through that right? I can't believe they've sold a single copy of that garbage. It just goes to show how stupid the masses are.

And they sound like a more accesible version of Thin Lizzy anyways if you want me to be honest, the whole "twin guitar melodies", Marshall stacks, high falsetto's deal and what not.
