It just seems like an unnecessary waiting period. Why should you have to work your ass off for ten years before being the famous rock star you dream of?
Experience:
Despite what it looks like, rocking out for a solid hour and a half on stage in front of thousands isn’t an easy thing to do. People look at it and compare it to their day jobs, in which case it looks like the most appealing thing in the world. But no one ever stops to think about the production that goes into that sort of show, and how finely practiced and orchestrated every single detail is, and how hard the band worked to get there. This sort of thing takes years to develop! Don’t be surprised when your first shows aren’t living up to your favorite Incubus DVD.Quality Fan Base:
Developing a fan base consistently over time creates loyal, quality fans. It really gives you time to develop your relationships with fans, and they will become people who support you at any price. Whenever you release a new album they’ll be first in line to buy it. When you ask for their help in contests they’ll be the ones that vote for you. Not all fans are created equal, and when they have become really vested in your project, they’ll be a thousand times more meaningful than someone who saw your video on TV once.Maturing As An Artist:
Most rock stars are pretty good at what they do because they’ve been doing it so long. Over the time it takes them to grow their fan base and become successful, they are learning a lot of important lessons along the way. Everything from what to do when you break a string on stage to dealing with band drama. Did you ever wonder why you never heard from so many of those bands that hit it big with one video on MTV ever again? Because over time quality outlasts quantity.
