He wasn't on that tour. Sir Ross Sewage pulled double duty and it was worth more than they got paid I'm sure.

Hate Eternal - $150 a night - when Conquering the Throne came out
Grave - $800-$1000 a night - 2004 Tour
Vader - $1000 - $1500 a night - 2003 Tour
Immolation - $1200 - $1800 - 2003 and 2004 Tours
E.Town Concrete $3000 a night in Jersey

Not Death Metal, but I recently heard Botch was offered like a $100,000 dollars to play a show and they turned it down.
I guess I coud've circumvented this entire thread by asking leon if he has a day job.

I'm guessing TBDM sleeps on a bed of money though...

I will further suggest that they are the majority of the fuckers stupid ignorant immature dedicated enough to buy the other bands' merch and keep the whole show on the road any way. They are also the first to throw stones at harder working bands with more success.
what about the old-school revivalist bands like Dead Congregation and Father Befouled?

I would suggest Justin, that he was speaking in general terms and not looking for band shout-outs. Look, you're into cool shit, good for you. Sometimes, just shut up if you don't have anything to contribute.

Check it out with your mentor. He might just offer you an alternative perspective than settling for anger and shittiness. Think positive! Like me! We can get through anything. you and I...
