- This.
Of course i would get extreme sad if i discovered that Bon Jovi plagiarized Blaze of glory or Ozzy plagiarized Dreammer.
Two of my favorite rock song.

Now i gonna get a hell heat from my fanatic rock friends.
They bashed my Bon Jovi man-crush, now it's time to payback.

- They were sad deep inside.
We know that sad feeling, i felt that way when Flatus joking said that Tiffany - We are alone now was a cover.
