By The Way The Tour Is Going I'm Sure They Are Looking At Going For A World Tour.

99.9% Of The Roth Army Members Say They Are Worth Every Dollar.:D

In all fairness, that's 1.5 divided by 4, before expenses...

Oh, you can be sure Ed's kid is getting paid...

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??:D

I have read this figure a number of times online -- if you do the math, the numbers also easily coincide...

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.

LOL.

I remember him saying (regarding the US Festival) "I wouldn't miss it for a million bucks!" and then he cracked up laughing. :D

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.

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