^^I very much doubt that. The saviors of rock tend to come in and kick every other band's ass the instant they make a commercial appearance. Basically, if they haven't made their presence known by their first or second album, they never will.

Besides, I don't think heavy metal could ever sell in ridiculous numbers, as most people (including me) don't have ears for that kind of stuff. Here's a pretty funny article on it that's actually pretty true (except for the end [img]tongue.gif[/img] ).

There's a lot self-proclaimed "rock" magazines that'll instantly stamp the newest band that is slightly less ****ty than all the other current mainstream bands with "Savior of Rock." (How many bands have been proclaimed the saviors of rock by journalists in the past 2 years? 5 or so?) But I say that when the real saviors of rock come (if they ever do), we'll KNOW who they are.
