Factually this band isnt worthless, though. They're basically 1 percenters of metal. If there was a Forbes 500 list for metal bands, these guys are probably in like the top 20 or 30

But also, if there was a Forbes 500 metal band list, the bottom 400 would all be broke and sleeping in a van on tour

I think eak is talking about the money factor here



I don't actually know how big IF are, especially within the context of the entire metal scene



But top 20-30 doesn't sound right

Yes, but top 20 successful? They are commercially big, sure. But don't forget - Evanescence is also considered a metal band lol

1.5 mil monthly Spotify listeners. Not too many metal bands have higher numbers than that

>Glad to have always been more into Punk/Hardcore adjacent stuff.





still not as embarrassing as that Titan guy being in his 40s (50s?) and calling people faggots in 202x over bands like rush

But I know that isn't necessarily a fully accurate representation of your popularity or financial situation but they're probably at the least top 50 metal band in term of popularity

In Flames would probably just be barely behind the top 100 in terms of fame/money.





Peeps really do be losing perspective of how big bands actually are in reality from using the internet so much

Evanescence is probably like top 5 in terms of popularity. Just looked 8 million monthly listeners. Shocked its that high actually

I'm not using forums as a metric lol. I'm using streaming services. People I think forget how few successful metal bands there actually are. In flames are in the upper echelon in terms of popularity for sure

I mean, metallica are insanely rich. But yeah, Paul McCartney is probably like the richest musician in the world

Did a quick internet search and I don't think IF are even in the top 40



Bottom top 20 bands have over 5 mil streams



Insane Clown Posse have nearly 2 mil streams lmao

In Flames are def in the upper third and one of the more popular ones meaningfully, but I don't know if that's receded since 2016 or so.
