August 10, 200717 yr I think the lead singer of Rev is a bit of a hyporcrite to be honest. He says Jonny's arrogant and everything but he's exactly the same.
August 11, 200717 yr I think the lead singer of Rev is a bit of a hyporcrite to be honest. He says Jonny's arrogant and everything but he's exactly the same. The difference being Johnny can back himself up with a #1 single and album, whereas this guy can't, and probably never will be able to. Heavyweight Champion was average at best imo.
