And it only took until 1973 for their third album to go Gold, which then led to even greater success in the late 70s and 80s.

Yer right, but no one heard of them till the 80's with Eliminator when they signed to Warner. They always had great music from the start and like everyone else started out on a minor label and toured there asses off for years and years and years and years and years.
There is more to touring than being on a label. Above I was expressing the idea that a Major label or label does not really matter. What matters is touring and to undertake such a run at an older age would be fucking hell and even if a person is healthy... Touring can definatly put the deathnail in the caskett.
SO tell me do you people just look and wait to find angles to put me down all the time and tell me I am wrong?
