Being in the music indusry, (although not in a band) I can offer a little insight into this.
Being in a bigtime band is not the path to riches, unless you're one of the special fw.
When bigtime band goes on tour, let's say they sell out many venues and rake in millions of dollars per show.
For example, the Stone played the KingDome here in Seattle around '97 or so..sold out...
After all was said and done, they had to pay Venue Rental, security, catering, venue staff, tour staff, management, the Seattle PD for traffic control...and let's not forget transportation costs as well, promo advertisement....
EVERYTHING come out of thier pockets. Granted, it's all tax-dedunctable at the end of the year....
When the show as over, and everything was paid for, they made about $1000 for each bandmemeber for that night.
It' the small, well known bands playing smaller venues who make better money.
Beleive it or not.
