* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: They had issues with this at the height of their popularity. With such songs as "I Wanna Rock" and their wacky music videos, they attracted a large following of rebellious teens and even preteens. Parents would take their families to their shows then complain when it turned out the band was anything but PG.
