Don't tease redditors with safes! Their hearts have been broken too many times!

Is "getting discovered" different for artists/bands today than it was 22 years ago? What does it take to go from the Warehouse to playing Rock Am Ring or Glastonbury?

Are there any architectural quirks in the Warehouse? Hidden passages, bootlegger stashes, crypts?

If the product has to be refined before the labels pick it up, why is it so hard for indie bands/labels to make it big? It seems like if a band is at that point, ie getting noticed, growing fanbase, they have what it takes to succeed. Or is the money/marketing machine the labels offer? Or are bands conned into bad deals? (not arguing, just wonderin)

Have you gained a knack for being able to tell who will go on to bigger and better things and who might not even make it back? Any surprises?
