Second-rate?

First of all, Wikipedia is not a listing of concerts. Secondly, exactly who defines an act as second rate? Further more, are there any references that says a musical act is second rate. The following section is POV as is, and I removed it accordingly. Flibirigit (talk) 01:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many musical acts played the Auditorium when they "couldn't sell out the Forum", although the Auditorium, as a result, often saw many up-and-coming acts such as Nirvana and Iron Maiden and second-rate celebrities like Gabriel Morency.

The way it's phrased may be problematic, Flibirigit, but there's truth in there. Fact is, growing up in Montreal, you knew the top-line acts would play the Forum, but the acts who weren't quite big enough would play Verdun -- or maybe Paul Sauve Arena.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
