Yeah, I saw them on this tour and thought they were (duh) they
were great as ever. Yes, the bassist is utterly ridiculous (didn't see
the nipple rings, thank god), but the rest of the band was the same
as ever. I just picked up a videotape of them from Farm Aid II, and
they look/sound/act no different now than they did then (though, I
do wish Warner would clean up his tone a bit).

Who replaced JPK, the other guitarist? If so, that's interesting,
because the difference in styles between Scott and other guy is
one of the things I really like about the V-Roys. Scott doesn't
sweat (as Jennifer noted), has that sort of scarily reserved thing
going on, while the other guy is sweaty, guitar slung low, letting it
all hang out.
