Aside from Eric and Tommy, have any scabs ever flat-out copied somebody else's look?

:lol: Overly gay? Like, he's TOO gay? What's the right amount of gay for Styx?

Let's say 1 is Gaahl and 10 is Liberace. Where on the Scale Of Festivity should a scab key tickler for Styx fall for maximum authenticity?

Lol.
It blows my mind they would go with a guy so different in feel than the OG drummer. They were the biggest band in the world at that point and could have got anybody they wanted, and they picked Stiffly Stifferson.

Sorum is HORRIBLE. Even 1991 Peter fuckin Criss would have played the early stuff better than Sorum did. It sounded like a robot pounding a wall.

Slash had recently left the band, and Sorum told Axl “without Slash there is no Guns N’ Roses”, to which Rose asked if he was going to quit the band. Sorum said no, then Rose fired him.

Wonder if the rumors were true about GNR going after
Tommy Lee when they fired Adler?
Would Axl even let Tommy be creative in the writing of UYI or just say “I’m the boss and this is what I want you to play”
All these cats got fired/quit all around the same time….why
didn’t they capitalize on a supergroup Vince, CC, Adler, Izzy
