Haha they're definitely giving hundreds of other hard rocking bands a run for their money ;-)

Ugly Kid Joe were a great opening act. Not strong enough for a full 1-1/2 hour set, but good fun for the 30 to 45 minutes before the main act.

There’s a comment above you that says Ugly Kid Joe is better than every band from the last 26 years, and I don’t even know how to respond to that.

VIP sounds like the RHCP’s “Suck my Kiss”. My question is, do I still need to learn it?

This is actually pretty cool and inspired. Forgot that these guys were anything more than a flash in the pan.
