How long of a run do they have in them at this point? Dee is 70, JJ is 72 & the other 2 are 68 & 69. Any idea what their expected guarantee is & does anyone under 50 even know who they are?

I can see them playing a few festival shows and that's it. GI Joe Animal doesnt look like he could do more than that

They have two songs - some festival dates and maybe a show or two in New York has gotta cover the demand from TS IN 2025.

Someone on Reddit posted a video of Steven Seagal and said he looked like a Russian Steven Seagal stacking doll filled with smaller and smaller Steven Seagals inside.

For a guy so hung up on bragging about his martial arts skills the dude really let himself go.

He's like the size of 3 Vince Neils.

I think it happens. Bret has been talking about it for two years now. If it doesn't happen, it's going to look really bad for him.

They easily have enough songs for an hour and a half that the people interested in seeing them would know.

I don't think their primary audience only knows I Wanna Rock and Were Not Gonna Take It.

These wigs ain't going to paint themselves... they need money for paint.

Did anyone really expect them to be done for good? They do the "were never going to do it again" so that demand goes up for when they do come back. The "Never Say Never" Tour or whatever dumb slogan they're going to come out with.

I really wonder how Eddie and Mendoza support themselves without working all these years. Dee is taking the publishing, so any money they get is from shows. They don't make THAT much even when they're touring. They've got to have an inheritance or something to get them through, I would think. Just curious how they do it.

Other than the 2 songs, off the top of my head, I know leader of the pack, stay hungry, the price, you can't stop rock and roll. I would probably recognize 1 or 2 more if I did see them headline. This is without ever owning anything by them.

Dee TOOK the publishing. Past tense. It was sold a year or two ago.
