They play the same venues, have same managers, make the same kinda money, played on the same media outlets, receive the same exposure, and mostly play to the same audiences. And all of them are payed excessively, when compared to bands that actually are out there, with the same or more amount of talent, playing sh*tty gigs just to get a meal.
