Kyo, the lead singer is a jerk... He has a great voice, but he's a total ass to most people and would rather sit in his room under guard than meet anyone. He thinks his fans are trash and preforms for his own amusement. Even some of the top performers in the business can't stand his arrogance..
(Though given a choice between him and Ted Nugent, Kyo wins hands down.)
