Silly. That would be $400 million between all of them.

Regardless, if they were smart they would have a lot of money in the bank, but most rock stars aren't that smart.

There are many athletes that have signed big contracts and ended up without a lot of money at some point after their careers ended.

Hopefully, they were smarter in the last decade or so with the big tours and have invested their money. Then again, Neil either owned or leased a private jet recently and that's a text book way to burn through your money.

I’m just a regular fella with half a brain and an office job, and even I have a couple million. And these guys have least 10 earning years on me. Their lifestyle isn’t THAT expensive… certainly not so expensive to have bankrupt themselves.
Spot on. They sure as hell don't need the money at this point but they probably figure why not continue making millions with minimal effort as long as there's still demand. They fact they've become a joke and haven't done anything worthwhile in decades in another story.

Neil remains a bit perplexing to me, but I admit it may reflect my lack of familiarity with chronic over-spending, over-eating, functionally illiterate drunks obsessed with strippers. (My loss, this I know.)

But his (until-recent) constant need to be on the road playing shitty venues, despite having made a ton from the Motley reunion and stadium tour, is odd?
Although Vince knows a thing or two about bankruptcy, I don't think even he blew through his loot that quickly to necessitate playing the fair circuit again?

Is it he feels trapped, bored, empty (or all the above) when he isn't on the road? It's the only lifestyle he is comfortable in? He drinks more (is that possible?) at home when not working?
He needs the applause/ attention? Access to women? He's not yet finalized his Michelin Guide to shitty strip clubs across America?

I feel I need a clearer psychological profile of this animal?

That’s the first I’ve heard of Phil X recording the back tracks.

This has been discussed before. I'm sure it contributes to his health issues, but before he had his health issue earlier this year, you couldn't keep him off the road.

Makes me wonder if it's related to Skylar, and if being at home reminds him of that.

Vince's kids have been out of the house for like 20 years and he's been divorced for 15. His daughter from his second marriage passed, an he hasn't kept starting families with new girlfriends the way most rockstars do.

What else does he have to do all day? Singing rock and roll and partying has been his life. Makes sense that he stays on the road.

None of these guys are broke. Yes, some have more ex-wives than others but all 4 of them are still very well off. The band sold their entire catalogue of music to BMG for $150 million in 2021. That's only 4 years ago.

Vince likes to party. Touring regularly keeps him in that type of environment.

You know...all of those Motley guys are completely full of shit, but I think replacing a singer who hasn't been able to sing more than every third word for decades, and does it badly out of key and out of breath....would be completely justifiable. Way more so than replacing Mick, who was still playing his damn instrument just fine.

Vince is a co-dependent, lifetime alcoholic who has suffered great trauma from the causation of the car crash in 1984 and more exacerbated by the death of his young daughter. Behind the image of a successful rockstar, lies a lonely, insecure man with very deep insecurities and cannot stand being alone to face his shame and who he has truly become.

This feels more true to me than "dude just likes to tour ...."
I'm not sure how traumatized he is from the car crash, but who knows . . . .

Sounds plausible to me that he loves flying, long car rides, waiting around, hotel rooms and backstage catering that he will huff and puff his way thru a 60 minute set just to indulge.

A 49 minute set. Don’t forget the 11 minute classic rock medley the band does without him.

Hey Huey do you remember the tornado that saved Washington D.C. after the British set it on fire in 1814?

That medley will be Vince’s tornado.

What's the alternative? Sitting home reading, gardening or doing crosswordpuzzles?
His hobbies are drinking and getting his cock sucked, both things are nicer when you don't have to look at the same wall each day.

it may be just me, but getting my cock sucked regularly in the comfort of my mansion seems better than some hotel in the midwest (and it's not like he's staying at the Four Seasons or Ritz or Aman, because he's often playing towns where the Hyatt is the crown jewel...)
But I guess variety is something....
