I suppose metal bands aren't making as much money as they did 20 years ago? that's probably why they have to put in the extra effort to hang on to the sponsor.

I suppose metal bands aren't making as much money as they did 20 years ago? that's probably why they have to put in the extra effort to hang on to the sponsor. Perhaps I'm wrong. I mean really, if you're not one of the old-timers like Iron Maiden or Megadeth or something, is being a metal artist really a good career choice these days? Genuinely want to know.

Being a metal artist hasn't ever really been a good career choice, unless you consider glam a metal genre, in which case for a while in the 80s it at least had a large potential payoff if you got really lucky, sort of like a high effort lottery ticket.
