When I read this in a quote I wondered if the 3 were being compared to the other members of the G men. Ironically the money making capacity of the G men actually highly correlates with visual aspect of performance they had. Gabriel continued color and theatrical effects which were key aspects of psychedelic performances in the 60's. The G men were responsible for the development of the varilite which made concerts amazing displays of intense color. In the 80s, the G men captured the music market which driven by videos, and they created some incredible videos. PG sat and watched this success via video, and then blew the video market away with the most innovative videos on MTV. Video killed the radio stars, and they wanted their MTV. The G men were still prog in the 80s, but only in a visual sense.
