IMO, yes. They would have found a way. If you ask me, this hair band from Sayreville, NJ didn't have a good chance to become huge in 1982 either. They've got drive and determination. That's what made them huge.

There is no way they would have created Bon Jovi, 7800 and SWW if they'd started out today. Their music would have sounded totally different. I don't know how different but different. Prob. something like Nickelback.
