    the reason this great band didnt hit the big time was there excessive drug use in the 80's i still believe that they can still hit the big time

    Bought the single "Different Man" before returning to Brazil on 2001 and I consider the song with same name one of the best songs ever made! Hope to see you live on 2009!
