ZoSoRose Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I think that list is bullshit. Pittsburgh wasnt that close to a sellout, and likewise, some stadiums were way more than 40k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archtop Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Not very knowledgable about these things, but off the top of my head the expenses would be something like, Tax, Venue cut, Promotional/ Publicity fees, Band expenses, inclusive of additional Muscians, Equipment and Health insurance, Management Fees, Transport costs of both Band, Crew and stage. Merchandise design and production, Video production. After all these I would be interested what percentage Axl/Duff/Slash actually pocket, I bet it's not as high as we think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the article in Forbes magazine. GNR were ahead of every other artist, so I'm assuming your 90's assessment is in correct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very much, one of the main reasons being speculated that Izzy didn't join is he wanted to be paid equally with Axl Slash and Duff, but those guys would have to cut their pay to $600,000 a show to accommodate Izzy. Buisness side of the deal likely puts everyone else's pay at volunteer like numbers compared to the big 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an assumption, though. It would be shitty if they weren't being compensated at least twice what they made in NuGuns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Dizzy way more than these two guys (he has been in the band for 20 f* years). No way Slash n Duff are making the same money than Axl. I can´t remember now exactly the percentage but I read something on an article (posted here), about the percentages.

Caraibes Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Fortus is the fucking GUITAR PLAYER with Slash in the band. He is paid a fortune. Don't compare him to Melissa or Dizzy or even Franck. Come on... he is paid much, much more. I suppose Fortus almost gets almost as much money as Duff.

If by "paid almost as much as Duff" you mean he's paid a tiny fraction of Duff's salary, then yeah I guess he's making a fortune compared to other ex-britney spears guitarists. Fortus got around 15-20k/gig in nu/fake guns iirc. I'm guessing he probably didn't get much of a pay bump since towel boy Pittman quit in a huff after he didn't get a raise on the reunion gigs. It seems likely that Fortus probably gets a max of 15-25k. Let's even say that he gets 50k/gig. Duff gets a million. Why the discrepancy in salary? Quite simply, Duff is the King of Beers and Fortus is a session guitarist that the GnR partners hired on the cheap to play Izzy's parts. Even Tracii Gunns is a more relevant guitarist than Fortus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that in 90s you could hide numbers easier than today And GNR's about 57mils for 190+ shows - hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean why NOT? They should continue it, break the record and show everyone who GnR is!! Let's hope that the 30AFD anniversary will be the moment when all 5 original members play the entire album!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Korean Democracy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) After all the announced dates and when they tour European dates I think they could reach $300,000,000 or more and be in the top 10 of the highest grossing tours ever.

dalsh327 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 U2 360 tour grossed 750 million just in tickets but all the other stuff put the tour over a billion dollars. Axl being part of AC/DC will have him on the top grossing lists twice. This might be a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
