They would have been Rock legends like Scorpions, VH, Rush, OZZy- but they went the pop root- good for them. They keep touring the same good songs from 25 years ago because their albums have been horrible.
Has ANY band wasted a great guitarist as bad as they waste VIV? He was amazing with DIO- now he is just a background muscician- is his guitar even plugged in?
Sad to think what kind of badass music they could have put out if they stayed true to their roots- and then added a shreader like V C. Instead they have to play- pour some sugar on me every night-lol and play county fairs. That is what happens to Sell Outs.

Rob Halford cut his hair.
IMO, most bands go downhill at some point. I was a big Judas Priest fan back in the day, but I think they went downhill as soon as Halford left the band. Iron Maiden, less so, but even they had some down years. Scorpions haven't exactly torn the place up the last 20 years. Oh, and Klaus Meine and Rudy Schenker cut their hair.
To Rush's credit, they've been able to keep things going. Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson both cut their hair though.
