THats the reason that bands like Poison, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and Def Leppard were so successful in the 80's. They were smiling, and moving around on stage like they were having "nothing but a good time", which is what a lot of people like to listen to music for. And also why youll notice in the videos like Motley Crues "home sweet home" that 85% of the audience are girls.
More bands should pay attention to that fact and quit trying to be the next Disturbed or Tool.

Very true. I just can't help but roll my eyes at 90% of the alternative/rock genre's "mainstream" targeting bands.. clones! At least with indie music people take really fun pictures and get all crazy, which in return sparks interest. In most of the new rock people all have the "Grr, I'm tough and hardcore and my eyeliner is FIERCE" thing going on. Gayyyyyyy!
