DLR net worth

[ZahZoo]

I don't know about being "business savvy"... what's Dave's most valuable asset?

His mouth...

What contract with the devil does he make to get back into Van Halen... He has to put a lid on his mouth. That's not business savvy. That's pure desperation...

Why the hell isn't Dave releasing this album with John 5? He was so desperate to get back in the door with Ed he signed away his right to produce music outside of VH...

You think for a minute Bass-player Jr™ won't be on the next Tremonti release or that his Pops won't pimp out a solo for the next black man that calls him?

Someone mention business savvy?

As evidenced by his Roth Shows! :D

Come on. Will Dave make more money with a DLR/John 5 album and tour, or a VH album and tour? Or, DLR/anybody album and tour? Dave made the right deal at the time. It will eventually come to an end, and he will once again be able to do what he wants.

I don't think he'd make more money with the John5 product... I just think given he was an internationally acclaimed rock performer and entertainment icon before he rejoined Van Halen.

There should have been no reason for Dave to allow his creative output to be constrained or limited by fronting Van Halen.

Granted he secured some significant income up swing from the 2007/8 & 2012 tours plus residual from ADKOT. That was good business... but shutting down all other avenues just to play to Edward's insecurities was shit for brains stupid in my book!!

I wonder what Dave was actually getting paid for these last two tours. There ain't no way it was an even split, not with Ed The Terrible running the show.

I dunno I think maybe it would be an even split.

Doing it that way would have got Ed's kid 25% which especially on the first tour would have felt like a big win by Ed but a compromise that Roth could have lived with.

Wolfgang is listed at $10 million.

40 mil surprises me..2009..off year...sammy at 120 is more surprising..how does that happen..real estate??

[Nickdfresh]

Tequila!

[Fairwrning]

Another reason people should smoke weed instead of drink.

Pity Dave hadn't invented the stripe. The guitarist hit the mother load with that bad boy.

Didn't Dave invent strategic spandex?

Is that more than Al?

I think Al's net worth is like 37 bucks. That sumbitch runs through it faster than a heroin addict in China town...

You can call DLR a lot of things, but "lazy" isn't one of them. John 5 told me out of his own mouth, he has a whole album with Dave done. Dave being lazy has nothing to do with the lack of new material. That is simply a fact.

John 5 is a studio slut. He works with anyone, anytime, anyplace. KD Lang to Rob Halford, and everybody in between. If Boy George called him up, Johnny would probably play on his project for a blow job.

Fuck John 5. You think he's gonna share his best material with Dave. I don't think so. Listen to the last tune from Diamond Dave, "Thug Pop ". Total freakin' garbage.

Where was John 5 after the DLR Band album. He ran off with the nearest faggot that called. Marylin Manson. So much for loyalty. The best stuff on that album was from Mike Hartman anyway. King Of The Hill kicks ass.

Whatever this accoustic " Beyond The Rainbow Grill ", or whatever it's called, is most likely like that " Thermo Plastic Chair " tune from last year.

I'll like it. You'll like it. A few hundred other life long die hard Roth fans will dig it. But it will be another go nowhere Magna Carta label style indie release that doe's jack shit for Dave's carreer, other than make smartass critics and " Bi- Halen " fans mock him for not being able to sustain a high profile status without EVH.

He should just put it out on the internet on his website for free. Maybe do some video's. It would be cool.

Dave had several pretty lean years...

I harken back to Pojo's story on seeing Dave's show at a dive bar in Corry, PA, close to where both of us grew up... Trust me when I say that Corry is barely big enough even to HAVE a bar, much less one that David Lee Roth would have a show in....

Not to mention that the band member's royalties from the CVH years were peanuts...

MA kept himself busy, and had a fairly steady cash flow coming in, doing Bette gigs...

And EVH had his guitars and flipflops pumping up his income....

So I'm not that surprised at those numbers, if accurate....

DLR had Blue Oyster Cult open up for him in 2006. After his radio show ended, he knew he was going back to VH during that 2006 tour. You can see the glow in his performances on that tour. Keep in mind, his casino, club show gross at that time was $ 50 000. So do the math on that. $ 25, 000 an hour minus expenses. Not to shabby. You think he'd do those Ribfest shows because he needed the money. I dont think so. It would be stupid NOT to do a few ahows each year to have something coming in to add to the kitty. Property tax's, etc.

Dave is no dummy. Not to mention his pop died and he most likely never had too much stress related to money.

He did the NYC paramedic stint as an adventure. I believe he volunteered. Better than sitting on your ass getting wasted like EVH at the time. Dave is too sharp to have ever been lean on money.

Subtract the money spent on No Holds BBQ which likely never earned it's cost back...

I was told Dave spent a whole bunch of money on that thing.

I distributed more copies of the BBQ than Dave did...

I wonder if those figures are seriously overestimated?

Apart from Sammy Hagar, who we know sold his Tequila for a very large chunk of money ... was it 60 or 80 million?

I just remember Dave saying on one of those interviews last year that he didn't care if people stole / downloaded the back catalogue because he only got 15 cents an album. Dave seems to have done a lot of travelling, subsidised his own band and projects (didn't that Ice Cream Man video with Nile Rodgers cost a million, according to his book?) - I'd be surprised if he is seriously rich with wealth in the tens of millions, although he has that big house in Pasadena.

Pity Dave hadn't invented the stripe. The guitarist hit the mother load with that bad boy.

DAVE DID INVENT THE STRIPES. It was HIS idea that Eddie do something with his guitars to stand out. DLR got the idea from seeing one of those punk bands that had stripped their guitar. He thought it looked cool, and gave the idea to Eddie to improve upon so his guitars, and the band, would stand out. This was in 1977.

Seems like the BBQ video was a million plus to produce. And these guys weren't making big bucks while Dave was in the band. The record deal was shit and the tours had to cost a bloody fortune and that's back when tickets were what, 15 bucks or so? Surely Dave restructured his deal after he split the band, so I'd be shocked if he wasn't making a higher percentage off the solo stuff. But those tours were massive too, had to cost a fortune. But Dave had to be worth at least a few mill. And he had to have cashed in on these last two VH tours, had to. I mean, it ain't like the band was spending anything on staging, lighting, etc., and Dave doesn't travel around with an entourage of midgets and hangers on any more. I wonder what Dave was actually getting paid for these last two tours. There ain't no way it was an even split, not with Ed The Terrible running the show.

No, drinking tequila is fine. Just don't drink Sam's ex-Cabo testicle sweat stuff...

[DONNIEP]

Seriously, has anybody even tasted Slappy's tequila? I mean, it's gotta be pretty damn good or Campari wouldn't have paid 91 million bucks for it. I hate tequila so I wouldn't know good from bad.

Oh, it's good stuff. Believe me. I treat myself to a bottle once or twice a year. It's a tad bit pricey in my neck of the woods though. About $ 95.

Most of his music is kinda not that pleasing to my ears , but his tequilla is awesome.
