I believe the big kid got a shorter punishment than the smaller one. I have no problem with that- in all likelihood, the school did it for propriety's sake, and probably agreed with the kid who was being bullied. If I was that kid's dad, I'd take my son to do whatever he wanted for his short suspension- mini-holiday.

Hey jamester- thanks for all those great videos!  I may agree with you on his being in his prime around 87. I think we're around the same age, and I was hugely into the Crue back then too.

It looks to me like they still put oin a good show, but I'm totally not a fan of Vince's singing anymore. I really don't like how he can't slide from line to line anymore- like you said, he seems to be fighting for breath. Nonetheless, they're still cool and pretty good to their fans.

Honest question here- has Vince EVER sounded good live? I haven't seen evidence of it yet. I can tell you the one time I saw him live (solo) his voice was weak and thin. He seems to rely a lot on a falsetto or maybe head voice that he doesn't really have.

I don't even like KISS and that quote excites me.

Nikki's obsessed with being hip and artistic and edgy. He's in denial about a lot, from Crue's role in the glam/hair metal scene to how great he is. I used to like him a lot more, but everything he says these days sounds like Poochie the Dog. Seriously, end any of his sentences with "...TO THE MAX!!!!" and you'll get the idea.
