Members have previously discussed the longevity of the band, and the concept of whether to continue making music once their identities have been revealed. They were recently the subject of an online petition to force them to quit.

Now a Ghoul tells TNG: "There are a lot of bands that just keep existing - and I don't blame people. There are bands that have existed for 10, 15, 30 years that just keep going. They do it because they have to, for monetary reasons. They have to live.If you've been in a semi-successful band you don't want to start working at a gas station."

He says the situation can cause problems for bands who may remain more relevant: "You have a very dense field where everybody has to co-exist. You come into a city and just that week there's five concerts. That's bad for everybody."
