Uncompromising bad ass musicians they were. They may have lost some of their hard core fans in 83 with the the MTV super pop She's a Beauty but hey, ya gotta make a buck. Their live shows were always a wonderful mix of beautiful absurdity and just plain old bad ass jams.
The first time I ever saw them was the Remote Control tour. If I remember right you had to be 18 to get in lol. In my top 10 rock bands for sure.
