Many people think that playing good heavy metal is easy. Well, it is not. Heavy metal needs great musicians and superb songwriting in order to stand out and this has always been the case. There is a reason why Judas Priest and Iron Maiden are who they are, and thousands of other bands in the genre have been trying to break big for more than four decades now but have remained unknown

I agree, as teenagfer you can jam and play when parents pay the bills, many bands when needs to start pay own bills stops, those who survive and wanna play professionally and live from the music, its hard.
David is known from his work whit Accept and not that best album, jamming trough few old HM bands not in their best days, never has play in BIG band, even he could after Accept yeras. He survived, but here is same story, Blaze Bayley needs better song writers, same here, to make something BIG happen. So I dont know. metal as metal, nothing more to add.
