Dave solo had three platinum solo releases in a row when he left Van Halen... Hagar never had that before or after Van Halen and he is a fucking liar about his sales and others as Dave and Van Halen!

All I know is this. I love classic Van Halen and I dug a majority of Roth's solo stuff and have seen the guy about 10 times live with or without Van Halen. If he is sixty and if the dude wants to dress like the fucking Riddler and go into La La land on some octaves because of his hyper ass... cool, I am buying tickets because that means that helps Van Halen stay together and no matter what, Eddie is 10x the guitarist for some reason when Dave is peddling his punk and puss approach to music and ADKOT kicked ass!I got lost in the...Comment

The Chickenfoot "gold" record is also misleading since 500k was sold to one customer Best Buy. Best Buy sold about 350k of those 500k for $0.49, that's right 49 pennies and it still took 2 plus years to clear inventory.
You also must differentiate major label and indy releases since the economics and metrics are totally different. Indy releases that sell 80k can be pretty profitable while on a label that is a disaster. It is becoming less significant as more and more of the deals are for distribution only. On a full label deal an artist might get about $1.10 per sale post recoupment but on an indy deal an artist can capture about $4 a sale. Now sales will be much smaller but it is a consideration to keep in mind why an artist may seem very happy to sell only 80k, its the underlying economics.Comment
