It's just th atthey aren't held to the same standards which makes it a whole lot easier for them to produce without tarnishing their reputation. I don't listen to these bands for the vulgarity I listen to them for the sound. I love to listen to Eddie Van Halen or Steven Vai or perhaps Dave Murray (Iron Maiden) do guitar work on albums and in concert. Yes, I could do without vulgarity and I could also do without bands writing songs dealing with political issues that they can't do a damned thing about! A song should be written from the heart not he newspaper. I'm going to step down off of my soapbox now. Jim
