exactly
OK, I LOL'd, but I completely understand what Rune is trying to say. There are bands that I would consider on the lower branches of the talent tree, but they have 4 or 5 hot looking video-friendly 18 to 21-year-old guys that have a band on PureVolume that has over 5000 + mostly teenage female "Fans" (PureVolume's version of the Facebook "Like"). (Corporate) Record labels, agents, and Producers are most certainly going to consider that number of "Fans" regardless of "How talented are these guys?".
In the recent decade, hardware and software improvements have allowed Producers to finally be able to achieve the highly sought after holy grail of "polishing-a-turd". There are many times I'll catch some same band playing live in a video/TV that makes my skin cringe and sounds nothing like the recording (I am SO biting my teeth right now on not naming names )...Gotta give them credit for not lip-syncing
