I very rarely throw the word "posers" around.
My theory has always been that they were all listening to Nickelback and said, "Hey lets start a band like this but add some double kick, a little more distortion, and little roary roar. We will also write our songs the same way but instead of everything being about p***y let's go after the guys that like guns, big trucks, and pride (not the good kind).
....maybe I should have just said no.
