"There's way easier ways to make money, let's just put it that way"
About this Quote
The subtext is double-edged. On one side, it’s a defense of artistic legitimacy: if profit were the goal, why pick the most volatile, physically punishing, reputation-dependent route imaginable? On the other, it’s a subtle rebuke of the industry’s promise that fame equals stability. For a metal frontman whose peak era got packaged as excess and easy money, the quote reclaims the narrative. The grind didn’t end with the hits; it just changed shape into touring economics, shifting labels, streaming-era pennies, and the constant labor of staying visible.
It also hints at pride without self-pity. Bach isn’t begging for sympathy; he’s drawing a line between commodity and calling. The money might be harder, but the point was never just the money.
