John Eddie plays the club circuit from where he is around, he doesnt tour cause nobody is going to pay for the expenses, but he has his following in Jersey and he makes a living like this.

Re: Can a half hit wonder have a long career? Give examples

I invented the term half hit wonder. Dont hold it against me. Of course musicians can play and have shows even if they havent ever charted. Hell, Im a musician here, I have a kind of career, I was playing all the time and Ive never even been on the radio a lot. But, I can play to 200 fans in my home...

Ok maybe because Im not in the US but elsewhere no one has ever heard of Saliva - I mean, I guess Enuff Znuff would draw more people than Saliva in Brazil, for example.

Can a half hit wonder have a long career? Give examples

Of course, as usual, I'll say that I'm not from the States, so things (and success) can vary, but I always wonder how bands like Saliva and The Wallflowers and Coal Chamber and Ennuff Znuff (I like their songs!) and Crash Test Dummies -to exemplify different genres- could have "long" caree...

That’s not to say these people aren’t doing everything humanly possible to preserve their voices or get it back. The giveaway is look at all of their necks. Almost any older hard rock singer.

People in bands like Poison when they are not touring

I was wondering about the bass player and CC De Ville of Poison. They tour once every 4 years. What do they do with all the free time? They are not even playing in a bar once in a while. Do they have any other business going on? I can understand somebody like Tico Torres not doing anything in his ma...

Re: Who is the hardest working band in show bizness?

Bands like Train are always on tour, releasing singles and doing stuff online. That's amazing because it's not thay they're "hip" (I can understand someone like Taylor Swift working her ass off these years cause the demand is there).

On the other hand, Cherone is pretty awful live. Off key half of the time.
