Going back to look up some 1995-2005 bands, but good lord, they were all emitting "sobriety and wisdom" back then.
If anything, at least they've grown into their pretentiousness.
It just takes some time...

Mötley Crüe needs to try a little harder, not completely convinced of the wisdom or the sobriety

I'd like to commend the Butthole Surfers for still looking like some recently woken, distracted slobs in their last press shots i've found. when gibby makes a straight face, paul looks goofy, and vica versa
