I was just addressing the notion that nobody but his followers liked his music. As for their antics getting them famous.... yes, definetly. But firstly that doesn't change how good or bad their music is, secondly there are tens of bands that are incredible who we'll never hear about. You need gimmicks and looks and connections and ass-licking to get noticed in the music business. Not every good band is famous and not every famous good band is famous for their music and not every famous band is famous for their music, a lot of them are awful (Jonas Brothers, Miley, famous for their TV shows). If you don't like their music that's a-okay, but I'm willing to bet we ALL have favorites which aren't very popular. That doesn't change how much we like their music, does it?
