But when you try to infer that VdGG is completely obscure except to people on this forum, that's a question of fact, and it's untrue. Pink Floyd was massively successful, but VdGG was at least moderately successful. I've seen them eleven times in several different countries between '05 - '09 and the range of audience capacity was from 1,500 to over 3,000 (less in the States, but the majority of gigs I saw were in Europe). Gigs I didn't attend but know of include when they played to five or six thousand in Quebec; 3,000 in Moscow; 2,500 in Montreal; and at least 3,000 in Rome... all headlining gigs, no support, everyone there to see VdGG; it's not Wembley Stadium, but those are at least respectable numbers, yes?

Anyway success doesn't tell a lot (or nothing) about the quality of music. Look at Madonna, Justin Bieber...
