v amerike je cesta za slavou trochu ina.. mas kapely, ktorych popularita je koncentrovana do vnutra hranic jedneho statu (alebo par okresov).. o par sto mil dalej ich mozno niekto pozna, no nijako zvlast.. doma ale nemaju problem vypredavat koncerty.. vdacia za to "lokalnosti" americkych medii. mas sice 5 celostatnych televizii ako NBC, CBS, ABC atd (u nich sa tomu hovorí "national television"), no v jednotlivych statoch je cela siet lokalnych televizii a radii (s dlhymi a komplikovanymi skratkami), ktore su relativne dost pocuvane..
cosi ako EU.. najvacsiu cesku hviezdu uz kilometer za nemeckymi hranicami nepozna nikto..
no a az potom sa z tychto interpretov stavaju "national" hviezdy, ak sa podari..

With the acquisition of Ross Robinson, interest grew and the band began getting offers from record labels."
