    Yeah, they’re such a great band that can’t write songs for shit. Everyone in the band can play/sing very well, and that’s it.

    You’d think that a band forming would figure out they need a serious songwriter in the mix to last.

      Good point. I just read that Quiet Riot had a rivalry with Van Halen before they each got record deals. Funny to compare them: Eddie Van Halen was a great songwriter as well as an amazing guitar player, but Quiet Riot didn’t have the equivalent (especially after Randy Rhoads left pre-Metal Health.)
