Oh yes there is.
Its a kick in the nuts to think really.
Most real hardcore bands dont really make much profit if anything at all, they tour nonstop and play the smallest shittest venues to sometimes shitty crowds, sleep in a van and eat what they can. Its one of those more niche music genre's that will never make them chart topping money makers, more for the fun and the fans.
Recently after seeing Madball play the Whiterabbit in plymouth (a real good venue) i found out that they charged the promoter over a couple of grand, i cant remember how much exactly but i know that it was alot.
Also on a seperate occasion after seeing Sick Of It All play the Whiterabbit i was really let down by the fact that they didnt even come out to meet the fans after, they merely stayed backstage and then left in there tourbus.
Even Agnostic Front ,after arriving at the venue late due to getting lost on the way & Vinnie Stigma being really ill and looking it....they managed to play an awesome energetic set and then meet the fans after.
So there really is no need for these bands to act like old grumpy money hungry pricks.
This annoys me greatly.
