from the session guys, Kenny Aronoff should be mentioned.
Lars Ulrich from Metallica probably has tons of $ considering the bands splits the writting credits even tho James writes all the material [img]eek.gif[/img]
Phil Collins for all the Disney crap stuff he's done. [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
To be honest if I was at that level I wouldn't really care anyways, just give me 15 minutes with Carmen Electra and i'll be pleased [img]wink.gif[/img]

What about Alex Van Halen? Those boys made some major coin in the 80's.
Whoever said a drummer in a band will make more than a sideman is exactly right. That doesn't mean a sideman can't make good money. I'm pretty sure Vinnie is around $2K per day, depending on length/days of gig, plus cart and etc.
I know that Bruce wanted Porcaro to tour on the Human Touch tour (I THINK that's what it was called, Philly soundtrack days) and was offering 7 figures... That was the summer Jeff passed away. Makes me wonder what would have happened if Jeff took that gig.

Tony Williams: I'd like to make a million dollars. Money is O-Kay!
Sounds like a plan! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Phil Collins is in another dimension financially! His pop rock turds in the 80's ands early 90's made him a fortune!!!
AVH is loaded!!!
Steve Smith made a mint with Journey.

I talked to a Polygram representative who told me that for the Kiss reunion of 1996, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley were hired as sidemen and got 2M$ each for the tour. Nothing compared to Gene and Paul who made 20M$ each for this tour because they own the band.
2M$ is not bad for Peter and Ace who were taken out of garbages, but it's probably all snorted and drunk by now...

Pretty much correct. I heard Ace and Pete only made 1mil though. But yes they were only side guys and Peter split for a short time to hold out for more money so Eric Singer came in and donned the makeup. Now Ace is gone and Tommy Thayer longtime Kiss associate is wearing the space.
When Journey replaced Steve Smith and Ross Valory for the Raised on Radio tour, it was reported that Mike Baird became financially secure once the tour was over.
Deen Castronovo is doing very well for himself in the new Journey, but I'm not going to discuss figures for that would be uncool.
For guys like Vinnie and JR Robinson, Gadd, not only do they get union scale but they can command their own pay. Porcaro did. He was offered by both Dire Straits and Springsteen huge numbers and then Jeff not really wanting to tour asked for the million mark, they would have paid it but Jeff at the time just wanted to hang with his family. Plus Kingdom of Desire was about to come out.
