It's somewhat true that lead singers and guitarists are lionized over drummers and bassists, but they're still doing relatively equal work (and in many cases the singer is also the writer).
There's also the sound/lights/crew/merch people, but they wouldn't have a reason to be there without the rock stars.
- protomyth 10y agoI think in your first example, I can name a lot more bands that have been able to replace drummers and bassists than lead singers and guitarists, but all of them are considered rock stars. With a bit of unequal fame (well except for the obvious such as Santana). The crew is important, but so is the electric company that provides the power. They are, as you say, only there because of the rock stars.
