Saw the same thing growing up here near Boston... The NY - Hartford, and
Boston - Springfield "circuits" were huge for wanna' be artists back
then, especially in the 80's. I knew some huge talent when I was coming
up and we even had the luxury of an "in" as it were, or at least an ear
having a big label talent scout that lived in town/hung around with some
of the better musicians, etc... We had a remodeled factory with 6-8
sound rooms where bands practiced, networked, etc several nights a week
and that guy was there... Still, from what I know, none of them made it
any further than being on tour with bands like Squire, Benetar, etc...
Not anything wrong with that, my point is certainly some of these kids
were as good, or even better individually than many of the folks in the
top billed bands.. I guess if they knew what it took to move up that one
step, they would bottle it;)
