False assumption. I might have more radio rock friends than "tr00" metal friends, even with my acvtivity in the local scene here and the networking I have managed to do. Most of my friends are going to Mayhem.. and believe it or not, most of them dig machine head. I don't feel they are underground, nor would I imagine in their own backyard would "half the people" not have listened to them.
I would say yes, half the people at a California date is a bit of an overstatement. Im just saying, I know more than a handful of people that pretty much go to Mayhem with only knowing Godsmack and Disturbed, Lamb Of God and Death Punch, Killswitch Engage and Marilyn Manson, etc. If its not on the radio they dont know it.
Perhaps it's a difference in markets? I don't want to sound like one of those pompous Chicagoans these boards were accustomed to by pointing to the bigger market, but perhaps the accessibility here is different and there is a more positive effect? Since that first year of Mayhem that they did, most of my more "radio-friendly" friends have fallen in love with MH.
MH sucks, Flynn is a trendy faggot, and Demmel joining caused the permanent end of one of the greatest thrash bands of all time. I guess he had to make money somehow.
