Live’s financials Options

[Existentialist]

Live has obviously structured the twilight of their career to squeeze out as much money as possible.

I am curious as to why.

I would think that each of them should be worth tens of millions, easy.

Yet, they are trying to squeeze out maybe a few hundred thousand that they would not have had they preserved their artistic integrity?

Did they get Madoffed (are they heavily invested with any people convicted of financially related felonies), am I way off on these numbers and the TC and especially the SS tours didn’t generate tens of multiples of the revenue of the Altimate tour, or do they just simply not care?

I am not trying to be inflammatory, just asking what I think are questions relevant to their almost unanimously agreed upon flush down the toilet.

Really? I guess I don't know enough about the financial side of things, but this seems a stretch to me. Ed, maybe. But I dunno. With CCP, haven't they poured loads into their recording studio and fibre data company? I could definitely believe that all that took far more money than they expected.

I dunno. When the Dolphin's Cry video exploded in my face in '99 and my brain grew new neurons after listening to lightening crashes in high school I never thought I'd be discussing the financial status of the beings involved with all of that.

Nah, it was all Shinn's cash

It's almost unanimously agreed that Live are doing well. Our opinion is the vast minority. Even if Live did everything we asked, they would still not be able to perform to our standards. That's why they brought in Mr. Contemporary Rock Zack Loy to own the band. Live's demographic are people aged 40-60. You want MTV but they're so VH1 now

The guys have said that they weren't making much money in the 90's. Ed was selling skype video calls a few years ago so I don't think he's worth that much.

to bridge the gap, instead of Ruby Lou, Chad should play a cash register that makes the cha ching sound in different notes next time they do lightning crashes

Loool, so sad but true.
