For me that band is Sevendust. They are a successful band...but when I listen to them I am amazed that they aren't one of the most popular and successful bands out there! Do you guys have a band you think the same thing about? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Anyways, I hate seeing huge shows in huge places, concerts in clubs are the best IMO, they sound better and you can get closer to the band.

But, not many people like instrumental music (even though they do have singers). I feel I know a lot of bands that are widely known for only one hit song. I also think most of those bands' other material usually sooo much better. A few examples of this case are The Scorpions, Extreme, Warrant (yes, I like Hair Metal), etc. etc. The list could almost go on forever. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But they should be able to get so much further with their music, at least to a major record label or something. EDIT: Rated Htr can you make that signature any bigger?

I'm sure if they want popularity, then they would have achieved it, but I think they want to keep certain exclusivity when it comes to there music, especially in Death and Black Metal. Bands like Judas Iscariot are astounding for what they did in USBM, but there music is very exclusive. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Some of his songs, like "Life", should have been a huge hit if you ask me I agree, he's songs are great, and some even have a huge commercial potential I think, like "Life" as you said or "Storm". But even though he doesn't sell billions of records, he is still regarded as a true musical genious, so he still gets the respect that he deserves You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

They got popular there for a while in the late 80's and early 90's, but I still think they should've been more appreciated. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
