this is a question for the derek roddy forum ... as a metal head ( i'm more into classic metal and power metal) there is no money to be made in metal .. d-rod makes more money raising snakes than he does drumming .. if you wanna hit it big .. quit playing drums .. write some sh*tty pop "waah my gf is cheating on me with arnold swartzeneger " type lyrics .. auto tune some random homeless guy reading the lyrics ( preferably while he's strung out) .. add bass, a drum machine.. and some computer generated beeping and clicking noises .. top 40 hit right there
the only fast food in metal is that you'll only be able to afford food from the dollar menu
i wouldn't worry about it, metal is dead commercially anyway.
go play some pop-punk, or post-hardcore.
on another thought .. why is the 1st thing people think of as metal is blast beats and some douche in corpse-paint screaming into a microphone while he's sitting constipated on the toilet ... WTF happened to iron maiden, judas priest .. and power metal i can name many metal bands that don't growl and don't use blast beats .. metallica, megadeth, priest, maiden, blind guardian, iced earth, hammerfall ....etc .. i listen to a good deal of death metal .. but there is a HUGE differnce between sonata arctica/ nightwish and nile/ deicide , and korpiklaani, and others .. there are many variations of metal..
sorry, didn't mean to speak out of turn. I don't know much about metal.
