Reply to comment by youwontfindout223 in Did Rick music stop being commercially viable 10-15 years ago? by youwontfindout223

You can literally look up the Wikipedia article with the stupid amount of record labels that have specialized in rock and metal music and pick any band that has released an album with them in the past 15 years.

Also you constantly narrowing down your definition of commercial success doesn't help your point.

Well I guess seeing as you can’t name a band either we know the answer

It literally takes you two seconds to Google and get a way more complete response than I can ever give you. But if you insist me doing the work for you, here are some bands that I've seen at sold out shows at quite large venues the past few years:

Rammstein, Sabaton, Amon Amarth, Parkway Drive, Nightwish, Trivium, Mastodon, Gojira, Arch Enemy, Behemoth, Powerwolf, and more.

Doubt you'll care much since you already went into this with defined answer.

Like I said, you'd better have been off asking why rock bands aren't growing that big anymore. But your question was if that type of music is still commercially viable, which it clearly is. Pop music being dominated by other types of artists doesn't change that.
