Put it this way: would BRMC be missed?

top band, missing him already

Has anyone ever actually seen a member of BRMC look like they are enjoying themselves? Don't get me wrong, love them longtime but jeez... Nick needs to find his way. They've a girlie in his stead apparently, maybe she'll sex em up and make em laugh.

Didn't he leave once before?

As for the looking miserable bit - consistent prolongued heroin abuse will do that to you.

Since when have performers had to look like there having the time of their lives. It's really just about the audience enjoying themselves. I personally enjoy the surly, moody look and atmosphere of their shows!
