Literally all of these types of bands were formed by Whites. (media.scored.co)

Touring now is prohibitively expensive unless you are extremely popular and heavily promoted.

Recently I heard someone from Avenged Sevenfold explain this is the main reason they stopped touring even though they were successful in the 2000s.

Depends. Does each band member need their own hotel room at the carlton ritz every night of the tour?

Or can the entire band ride around in an RV some hippie fixed up for the tour and park it in KOA camps at night?

Avenged sevenfold probably couldn't just post up at a KOA without a fuckload of idiots showing up.

I'm not familiar with them, but they appear to have a world tour. So they likely do have plane tickets, passports, hotels, vehicle rentals, lots of extra luggage, etc. Sounds expensive.

Me either but any of the bands you'd here on the radio have a bunch of stalkers.

It depends on where you start. If you create a brand new band and immediately start trying to get openers with Metallica and travel around the world, you're going to go bankrupt before you even release an EP.

If you start a brand new band and play at bars, local clubs, lounges, and put in for openers at music festivals happening within a reasonable area (and there's always gonna be one at some time or another you can drive a van to), you can save up enough money to tour if you're good enough.
