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 pa...

I am sure some will say election year politics.
But either way this is long overdue.

Goes from schedule 1 to 3.
Now in same group as Tylenol with codeine

Really?
I always thought both were awful

Pretty good breakdown from session guy on road.

I listened to an interview with Desmond Child recently. Apparently, after a writing session for Slippery, Bon Jovi's management tried to pay him off to not credit him on the album. He refused and told them to never do that again or he wouldn't return. This^^^^ Jon found out and was pissed Mngt trie...

Yes!
Just finished #3 and last one tomorrow.
Overall it was great. I mean next to Maiden, Jovi is truly a global band. Especially from a commercial scale. It was their time to tell their story.

What is shanks?

A record producer.

Like a Mutt Lange or Rick Rubin situation?

Yes but worse.
He also plays 2nd guitar in Jovi live.
Used to play for Melissa Etheridge

Wife and I watched it tonight. 2 down 2 to go. So far digging it. The way I see it is we know Jon is an ego maniac. But on a national / global scale this is the best we get to any notice to any bands from the early days. He mentioned they opened for a band named Ratt. I had to chuckle thinking Blotz...

Hell keep Phil X and Richie and this means Shanks gets the boot! Finally.

thanks for sharing. I thought it was great! Yes for sure. We all rag on bands we love or loved here. Some deserve it more than others (Blotzer). But it is fun to see a successful band we all probably liked at one point even briefly celebrate 40 years and at the biggest level of any sludge band (Rol...

Right on cue

Question

Does Grohl clean carpets between tours or look at his FU money in his bank account ? I know a drummer who is asking.

Anyone notice the cover art and how “thin” Vince became overnight ?

Song is meh

Sounds like a beer run song during a Vince solo show.

Pretty cool run down of him going through each album with a story behind each album and timeline.

Most of us on here know these but still a fun watch.

Yeah. Bunch of people I know goin girl draft this week downtown Detroit. Pretty cool what the set up looks like.

Fun gig for the summer before TSO starts in late Nov.

He should start a band with Blotzer

This sucks. He was a good dude the few times we met after a show and just seemed appreciative of everything.

I guess we now know what a Joe Biden fronted cover band would look like........... https://media.tenor.com/i4bLLc3xjLMAAAAM/johnny-golf-swing.gif I’d rather have that from sleepy joe than a dictator who loves crime, and is pro Jan 6th. Hope he lands in jail. Where Jack should be as well.

Don’t worry, Vince will blow it

WTAF did I just watch? :shock: High school bands do a better job as they are just getting started. What’s sad is that he will be on Eddie Trunk in a few weeks or months about how great life is. He will give a song and dance about writing a new album, the songs are “amazing” and then Eddie will push ...

Band is just using him for a meal ticket.

CEO... any idea what a guarantee on something like that would be??? I guess it comes down to how many heads are in the room vs quality of performance but wow.

Meal ticket ?
We’re at the snack ticket at best

About 4 months into 2024. Who cares about VV?

My god. This was thing they had going for them.

Like others said. Bach May be a pain but it’s not all him.

WTF ever Gene.
