i can't speak for the band but that their music taste doesn't impress me much anymore

you have quotes from jon saying he'd love to have been as cool as steve tyler for half as long... or that SSJ/Bruce are the king... then the next thing.............

they are probably played much more than BJ for this reason:

while BJ are still big they've changed their sound so much to lose respect from many people (and of course Brazil has much more of a rock culture than over here in Europe, yes?!)
