I'd be highly surprised if the kid was down for any more than 5 (ok, maybe 10) points of band (as opposed to 'tour') net...
Still, enough for at least several flavors of Murcielago, eh??

Here's one of the articles.....
naturchem, thanks for the article.
Remember Dave's line when back in 80's he was asked about the 1.5 mil payment for the US Festival? He said something like (paraphrasing) "After you pay the lawyers, the promoter, our agent and the crew the most I'm gonna see out of it is a small island."
Anyone, remember that? Fucking hilarious.

I remember him saying (regarding the US Festival) "I wouldn't miss it for a million bucks!" and then he cracked up laughing.
Keep adding on those shows boys...its a win/win for you and your fans!!
The article I read said "the band earns $1.5 Million per show".
In my business, "earnings" equals all revenue minus expenses. So, I am thinking this is after expenses and includes merch sales, etc.
This is most likely gross revenue; merch may (or may not) be included in that figure.Originally posted by diamondsgirl

Mezro...either way, they are making quite a tidy sum...

It's the glue that holds Dave and Ed together.
And thats a lot of glue.
Wolfie is obviously getting paid - Valerie would make sure of that, and I can't imagine Ed Would be THAT much of a dick not to throw the kid something.
Far as the rest of it, Roth deserves to cash-out on a high note with this reunion. And from what I've seen, these shows look and sound great, so fuck it. No use in getting bent about it. Rock musicians expect to be paid, just like anybody else.
These gigs are something special to me, so it's worth dropping a larger amount of cash to see them.
My worry is just being able to even GET tickets.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Oh Wolfies pay? He's inheriting a fortune! He's got anything he wants already!
You think when DAVE goes to sleep in the morning he's counting dollar signs jumping over the fence instead of counting sheep? Or does he count sheep with dollar signs on them!
Eddie is a dick but not to his own son. I bet Wolfgang is getting 25%. Sure beats paying inheritance taxes.
Douglas your Sammy Midler image is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
It's not a straight split.
Roth is on a salary.

Him doing the tour on a salary, especially an uneven salary compared to the Van Halens, would be even more head-scratching then him going ahead without MA there.
How much less than the Van Halens is he making for the gigs?
From sources close to the band all I know is its a lot but a salary.
So no offense, but you know fuck all.
Fuck Scott Weiland. Fucking asshole. I get trashed all the time and still go to work. And my job sucks ass. -ODShowtime
Well you can take it or leave it...
Hey, it's ALL good.
Just wish you could divulge more.......
The only extra detail I know is the name of the source which if I posted would cause a problem to them.
You'll just need to take the post based on my rep one way or the other.
Cheers!
Well I know the sisters/Wolf & Dave DO have separate representation, which would add some credence to the "salary" theory; however, if that IS the case, Dave's esquire should be ass-raped with a bottle of CaboSpambo!!! I don't give a fuck WHAT salary they agreed to, after the tour figures are in, he'll be hand-fucked by the entire Mormon Tabernacle!!
In all honesty....I just can't see Dave agreeing to "salary" after all they've been through -- think: RRHOF...

I think the sisters own the name / band Van Halen and being partners with Dave might somehow give Dave partial legal ownership of the name / band. The sisters want to avoid this at all costs. That being said I seriously doubt that Dave would agree to a deal where he would not make nearly as much in salary as he would as a partner. Dave wants to get paid fairly. The sisters want to retain control / ownership.
For the last time, Dave is compensated like a partner but does not have an ownership stake in the Van Halen corporation.
Mezro...Dave is a highly paid employee...nothing more, nothing less...
Mezro how do you know this for sure? Are you an industry insider? Are you David Lee Roth?
And Mezro when you say he is paid like a partner does that mean 25%?
I think Dave owns more than that.Originally posted by Mezro

In fact, I'd say he OWNS the original VH logo which is now being used after all those years with the gay Hagar rings logo (the rings logo was still being used when Cherone joined as well).
Dave also owns part of the publishing rights to all CVH songs (see c. Diamond Dave Music).
Dave also gets a cut from the original videos when they get played or are featured on a DVD (like VH video hits) (Jump, Panama, etc) -- since he pretty much directed them.
In fact, I'd say that Ed and Al would have to get Dave's input and approval over ANY old CVH footage being released on video.

Maybe that is why we are still waiting for DVDs - the sisters are too cocky to put themselves in a position where they need something from Dave, especially his approval.Originally posted by Vinnie Velvet

BZZZZZZZZ on the logo Vin. E.L.V.H Inc. owns it. Just to back it up: http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?...ate=kf1luf.3.3Originally posted by Vinnie Velvet

Mezro...yeah, Dave does have a stake in anything involving the old stuff (he helped create it)...but that has nothing to do with the terms of his agreement to do this tour...
Yeah...I am fucking David Lee RothOriginally posted by dave_is_vh
Mezro how do you know this for sure? Are you an industry insider? Are you David Lee Roth?
Mezro...got to get my matador outfit ready for tonight...
It means 25% or close to it; I doubt the brothers lowballed Dave.Originally posted by dave_is_vh
And Mezro when you say he is paid like a partner does that mean 25%?
What I am not sure about is what his percent is for merch and what sort of points he has (if any) on the back end of any DVD/ live CD etc that comes from this tour.
Mezro...Sam took a similar deal last time around...Sam in 2004 and Dave in 2007 are paid employees...
I am sure the sisters low balled Dave but Dave didn't go for it. That is why we had to wait 23 years.
I would not be surprised if Dave gets nothing from merch. But any new stuff including a DVD I would bet Dave gets 25%.
Mezro how are you so confident about what is happening? Are you in the industry?
