[kj] Reason makes perfect sense

Touring with Motley Crue to break away from the 80s
associations? Hmmmm...

Like i said, i'm all for them touring with bigger
bands to reach a wider audience. Conservative metal
and all that. That's why they should be touring with
Fear Factory or something. Touring with Motley won't
widen their audience. It'll narrow it, if anything.
