I whole heartedly agree with that statement! THe first time I seen Megadeth in concert that frigging rocked. Then the last time I seen them I was so dissapointed I almost left the concert early. Same thing with Motley Crue. I have seen them twice in Atlanta in the last 8 years ( I think 8 years) The first time Vince looked like he had just ate a moose he was so fat. And both times he ws so winded that some of the lyrics he would just skip! I was really dissapointed with them both times. I swear he could have used an oxygen bottle!

And I do not agree about the reading of music makes the band either. I kinda doubt that most guitarist starting off in the top bands of today knew how to read music at first. Hell Nicki Sixx admited that when he first started he used a guitar as a bass!! That he didnt know the difference. I think he said this in that book they put out 'The Dirt'.
