If by "fine" you mean "had never been performed in anything bigger than a "small end of medium" sized club, even in the biggest city you could find," then I guess you're right.

I can't think of a single BM/DM band then that was doing any better then than, say Stinking Lizaveta is today.


To be honest, until Nevermind broke, the underground Metal bands and the underground Alternative stuff were probably doing equally well (read: a lot of skipped meals).
