This lowered the band's reputation to such a degree that concert halls were getting bomb threats, band members were receiving death threats by the hundreds, and singer Blackie Lawless was shot at twice (though not hit).
Dette gav bandet et så dårligt omdømme, at koncertsteder modtog bombetrusler, bandmedlemmer modtog dødstrusler, samt at Blackie Lawless blev skudt efter to gange uden at blive ramt.
