glad this has happened, daddy will just have to buy new members for the band! Maybe they will be better live now with new members. I mean having a guy who wears his bass as a bow tie and a poser in the band didnt really help a lot did it!

fuck ya.

RTR have earnt everything themselves. It's trolls like you 2 who keep bringing Bruce up. Yes, Austin is his Son. Move on.. They toured in van like every other band starting off.. I'm sure their still in that Van. If they where living of Bruce they'd be touring in nice Bus. And so what if he Bruce them helped them out atad? Every Father would do that for there kids. Tbh I imagine Bruce would of wanted Austin do this own his own to feet.
