Re: What's up with Tommy Lee's head? (new Crue interview)
I’ve said this before but I know Vince and have talked to Dana about it. The gist of it is, the only thing he knows is showing up and doing shows and being in the road (half-assed at best but does what he has to contractually) He still has his demons with alcohol but he can’t sit at home, that’s whe...

Re: How many CD’s do you still own?
I regret selling a lot of them but I had thousands at one point. When I was working at Columbia records, I took home entire ROOMS full of demos//alternative mixes/you name it that were going into the dumpster in 2008 when everyone was laid off. I’d probably be a millionaire if I kept all of them. So...

Why does chip still show up to lucky strike and wherever else with his wig and Halloween store glasses….who things this is cool? I figure this is the audience to ask. I did see Donnie acoustic and he was great, Vegas.

Re: How much do touring musicians get paid?
Some people like myself like to be gone 10 months out of the year and it’s what we’ve been doing since teenagers. In all honestly, if it’s about money this isn’t the right business unless you’re the 5% who have the luxury of finding a balance.

Re: How much do touring musicians get paid?
Every band is different. I was just out for 3 months with a band playing a mix of sheds/arenas/theaters. We got a flat $500 a night, just the two bands on the tour and the one I was working for is well known, direct support. The headliner didn’t use monitors but were gracious enough to carry and pay...

This will probably go to trial and it will be very interesting. sad situation. I predict second degree manslaughter or him getting off. The poor woman is the one that loses in this and I bet this guy didn’t want to murder someone that day.

Ceo will eventually come and complain when a “thug” assaults one of his children somewhere but can’t comprehend that even if you’re working on an adult set or at a bar at 1am,it still isn’t acceptable or normal behavior to grab people and whatever else.

Can count on 15 hands the creepy shit I’ve seen him do at conventions, at the rainbow, on sets etc
Did some people embrace it, sure. But other times he straight up harassed people.

Re: Erik Gronwall Has left Skid Row.
Skid row is another name out of four on a flyer for a cruise, bumfuck casino, potato festival or pool hall. Bach wants his own bus for him and his wife and probably 50% of the guarantee. Skid row will find someone else and keep it rolling, respectably.

It sucks when you’re trying to watch a show and someone has a phone up in front of you but it’s 2004…everyone does this, regardless of the genre. Phil is a wig wearing drama queen and he should be grateful someone wants to share his band to social media or YouTube. If he broke my iPhone I’d go up an...

Re: Would you want signatures from a tribute band?
As a guitar tech, so many times I’ve heard “great show, can you sign this” probably because I look like a band member. I usually try and just give them something in my pocket or a set list …I’m not signing a record or a shirt. Sometimes they offer other things.
