About This Quote

It might sound chauvinistic, but there is a sad reality in rock music: Bands who depend on support from females inevitably crash and burn. When the band depends on women to make money, it is inevitable that the women will be abandoned. In other words, if a band relies solely on female fans to make money, they will have a tough time making a name for themselves. It may be a sad truth that rock bands that rely on female fans tend to fall short of being successful.

There are a few decent bands that have a good following among females, but other groups fail to gain any sort of success. Perhaps it is because these groups have been around for so long and have been getting steady income from their previous releases.
