At the squares they wouldn't have to play the hardest songs, but there's also ticketed concerts where a band like this would likely draw a much larger crowd than they expect!
Yup there would definitely be a much larger crowd than they realize. Plus, a good band can pick music from just about all these bands that people could actually dance to, if they were so inclined.

I had plenty of AC/DC at my wedding a couple years ago and our slow dance was to a Metallica song (Nothing Else Matters).

And not to stereotype but people that like music of the metal genre are likely to spend plenty at the bar.
