"Making Vince Neil"

I think it's dishonest for an artist to try and 'remake' him/herself in the hopes of appealing to a younger audience. If they're serious about their art, its about growing and reflecting who they are and let their honesty and talent and passion sell records/seats. I also think plastic surgery for purely cosmetic reasons is stupid.

Then again, Motley Crue depended on there pop appeal to sell records, and honesty doesn't sell records. I guess I'm just being old-fashioned for demanding some strand of authenticity in my music.
 
I read that interview with Mick Mars. That sounds terrible but I've got to question his statement that in other countries they have treatments that are 80% successful but here they seem to know nothing about it. That just doesn't make sense seeing as how America is possibly the most medically advanced nation in the world. Either he's just hearing rumors about those treatments in other countries or he needs some new doctors.
