When a band video has only 23511 clicks since 2017 it means there are some problems with their music itself ;)

Well, it's not more 'narrow-minded' way of thinking of things than thinking that 'broad' way of thinking of things is the best and only way of thinking of things.

And I can't get into arguments like 'being legend for a reason'. Legend to whom and by whose reason?

Quorthon for instance is a 'legend' to some, but it does not make his music and lyrics better. His knowing of Norse lore and its interpretation is on schoolboy's level, his music is not 'epic' at all (just listen to some of Manilla Road, or better 'From the Fjords' album by Legend, and it's 1979!). And as for dirty sound, there were Venom and Hellhammer already.

Iron Maiden are ten-times bigger 'legend' than Bathory but it doesn't make their music better. Harris is a very mediocre composer (not to say worse), McBrain is a very mediocre drummer, and Dickinson just annoyingly yells on one note (but he blossoms as a vocalist in his solo works, just because Harris' monotone and dull gallop doesn't give him room enough). They just make run-of-the-mill kinda-heavy-metal for everybody. For everybody doesn't necessarily mean good.

Manowar are 'legends' too but in fact they are just the Kings of Posers in the Kingdom of Rubber Inflated Quasi-Mucho-Superheroes. David DeFeis though being completely freaking mad is much more epic, sincere and true.

KISS are a pure distilled glam-commerce-teenager-show-oriented shit. They may having made a few decent guitar riffs but the glam-commerce shit overweighs, sorry.

King Diamond would be nobody without Denner/Shermann and La Rocque. And his whelp wailing spoils even their brilliant music, especially in Merciful Fate. If you wanna wail - take a couple of lessons from Halford.

Cooper is rock-theatre, and not metal at all (though he wanted to be treated so just to be fashionable), so he's beyond my sphere of interest. And as a rock musician, he doesn't stand in the same row with Blackmore or Hendrix.

Ghost had rather promising debut disk but that's all. Now it's just disco-Batushka sort of show-shit.

So 'being a legend' or 'having a zillion of Youtube views' has nothing to do with the quality of music.

Not to contradict things which are obviously your personal views on music, but Cooper always was a singer and a songwriter (and mainly a showman, I give you credit here), not also a guitarist like Blackmore or Hendrix. Blackmore, though an excellent guitarist, paled as a songwriter when you compare him to Dio. It would be nice to compare apples to apples, at least if you want a comparison to be fair.

We need more passionate female metal singers in this world choked with jackstraws like Doro Pesch or White-Gluz.

Let's also not forget that they are not in the same kind of genre of music. Hendrix is psychedlic rock while Cooper is hard rock and Blackmore is heavy metal. So you really can not compare the three as you would with other people in their respected genres of music.

I hate labels.

Maybe, we still have chances...
