yeah I agree that it majorly sucks for Roddy and is unfair. I think it has always pretty much been this way: artistic talent is overlooked for mediocre schlock that can sell popularly.

"yeah, but it's just boring death metal it's always been that way and ALWAYS SHOULD BE a money pit." - Josh Martin

Ok, Tom is so unbelievably stupid I guess I'm going to have to explain what I thought was obvious.

If you can make a living off playing death metal, good for you. A handful of bands have pulled it off.
The problem is that when you become dependant on it to survive, you automatically become corrupted.
A guy in a band who also has a day job can do whatever the fuck he wants to because it doesn't matter if he makes any money. He has total artistic freedom. Once the music becomes your bread and butter, you are forced to change it in order to keep the money rolling in.

That wasn't a complete explanation but I'm not writing a thesis here. If Tom Tom can't figure it out now, maybe Anthony can help him out.
