All of what you said $tevil is spot on. Except the 50/50 store owner example. One key thing was left out. How unique was the name, brand and trademark etc.
Any lawyers on here care to jump in ?
Other than that spot on. Let Mike play under WL.

Re: Michael Monroe cancels tour w/Buckcherry
I feel like Michael Monroe & Hanoi Rocks are one of those acts I should know and listen and like but haven’t. And really have no idea where to start or if I should care.

Butch Walker - “Jani Lane was so talented. I watched the music industry pull him apart
Fun YT channel with interviews with some great guests including Harry Cody.
He interviewed Butch Walker last Dec 2024 and some fun stories. He dives deeper into sunset strip and talks about Tuff!
But his line about Jani Lane was raw and rough.

Re: Butch Walker playing guitar for Train for European summer tour
I am seeing Train on Friday at a festival in Minneapolis. Do you know if Butch is playing on the American part of their tour as well? It appears he’s playing all US dates in August as well. He looks like he’s having a blast on stage with them. Even the guys in the band seem to be all smiles and hav...

Re: Rumor: Tico Torres quitting Bon JOvi
I am skeptical because of the source Mitch LaFon!
He has occasional good sources but is really a super fan boy and now considered “press”
If true, Tico has really accomplished a lot. Good for him.

Sheds are stadiums according to Bert.
Also him saying in the past they are looking at set lists changes means “recycle the last tour”

Re: Collective Soul documentary
I am a casual fan of CS. Saw them play after Tesla in 2022 in traverse city during cherry festival. Jeff Keith was gacked out. Sounded terrible.
Ed and CS came on after Tesla and sounded better. But Ed had a pink suit on. He thought he looked cool.

Re: People in bands like Poison when they are not touring
Tico has around $20M but internet sources aren’t accurate. Plus 2 divorces. BUT, he started a foundation which is next level $$ and accounting / IRS rules.
If he gave up touring (he’s 71) he wouldn’t have to work another day in his life and guessing could / would fly private.

Re: People in bands like Poison when they are not touring
Thought I saw on here or somewhere that Bobby Dall got into real estate. I could be wrong. Yes. Not just real estate. He owns and has a hand in running an empire made up of many apartment buildings. Commercial blgds etc. from what I read. Rikki is bitter and a keyboard warrior. Tico has FU money.
