It must be so bad to be in a band and realise this has happened.

I mean when bands get a buzz about them and then, for whatever reason, they don't capitalise it and then the buzz dies down away and, though they carry on, they maybe deep down know that this was there chance and it probably won't come back round again.

I remember a quote by a band that split up (although I forget who the band was) along the lines of "it's depressing to realise your best days are on someone's cameraphone taken last Christmas". I always found that really sad.
