Second, I don't really get this assumption that if they were playing pop music their tours would be more successful. Would they? I think about it. Pop music gets its exposure through radio play a lot more mainstream channels. There aren't really DIY pop shows. If anything metal and hardcore provides a totally unique experience for unknowns to have an opportunity to play live shows without label support or commercial backing. The price you pay, of course, is that 90% of them are terrible.

ya I take issue with this too. being on both sides of the equation with a metal band and a more "poppy" type rock band. it was definitely easier setting up a tour for the metal band. my rock band has no contacts because all the bands in this genre are fucking terrible, full of bro-fags that dont give a shit about building any kind of scene, or dont trade shows etc. its all about who you know and how hard you are willing to work for it. the rest is bullshit without label support or commercial backing
