Good Lord, does EVERY thread have turn into Stapp vs. AB? That said, I hate to admit it, but I think Stapp will sell more than AB ever did, simply because he's more radio-friendly, and that's what Wind Up and the labels want. Back in the day, the labels were happy to have a couple of cash cows and leave room for artists who might need more than one or two records to really define their sound. Sadly, that is not the case these days. If you don't go gold in a month, you're basically screwed. Ask Submersed about that. I love them, but apparently mainstream radio didn't embrace them enough, or Wind Up didn't pay enough to get them on the radio. They've already given up on them, promotion-wise, which really sucks because these guys have actual talent. I'm not saying Stapp doesn't, but I suspect he will go totally the way Wind Up wants him to. I hope I'm wrong.
