I suppose that is one way of looking at it, but I guess I see it as a loss of great artists, I'd at least like underground bands to last a good 8 years.

I think this is particularly relevant to metal bands these days, metalcore aside, it's pretty much become an underground genre.

Thus is a band like Toxic Holocaust still going? and if so, how long do you think they can hold out before they get sick of touring & being perpetually broke?
