pwhodges:
Remember that we actually see only glimpses of the characters in this comic. They do add up, but there is plenty of scope for aspects of their characters that we haven't really seen to be developed - without it having to involve reversals of their present characters. And very few people get famous - that's a really, really bad measure of success in life.

Fixed your post. Proof is not on offer here.

Amen, sister. Proof is reserved for the sciences, and not the social ones.
Actually, Proof is reserved for mathematics. The other sciences like to borrow the idea, but can't really carry it off.
About Marten; remember, he had an epiphany - "What do you really want?". And this was his answer. I think that could give someone a great deal of drive - maybe not enough for a 180, but success in music comes in many forms, especially nowadays. I think in particular of Pomplamoose, a lovely couple who put their music out online through Youtube, and after a while signed a gig with a car company (you've probably seen the commercials if you're in the US).
Or my wife's cousin, Sheldon. He has a studio in Boston, does most of the music for WGBH's in-house productions. Very talented musician and composer, and every time one of those PBS documentaries is sold to a library or school, he gets a cut...
Of course, it doesn't hurt that he's married to one of the station's producers, but that happened after he got the gig.
Edited for spelling of band name and adding links
idontunderstand:
One thing that completely speaks against you, stoutflies, is that you have never, and will never, hear Marten play. Without that piece of information you don't know how far he could go.
(I know there are deathmole tracks out there, but I don't think we're supposed to take them as literally being played by Marten and the guys, they are Jeph's songs, nothing else)

That's fair enough. Although we still don't know what Marten's goals actually are, of course. I suspect that one of our several differences here is that our definitions of "success" differ. There's a difference between "success" and "fame" (unless your goal is fame, and I'll stick my neck out and say that Marten's goal isn't fame).

Oh Metallica jokes. Will they ever get stale?
Anyhew, how does Amir NOT know the intro to "Enter Sandman"? Did becoming broke mean his music knowledge was pawned off to feed him?
