Hi all,
I have a question and I didn't know where else to post it. It's about touring. I guess I always thought that when a band goes touring, they just split everything equally or something, and I am finding out that not even close to true, depending on the band.
I am trying to see if anyone knows what the standard way to split revenues are in different circumstances. Specifically for example a band where there is only one singer/songwriter. For example a band like Dave Matthews or Joe Satriani, where one person writes everything and the other guys are just there to play it.
And the second example would be like Metallica for instance. James Hetfield and Lars are credited for the vast majority of the songwriting, does that mean Kirk and whoever is the bass player get less on touring? Is this decided differently in every band?
Help me out here,
Thanks!
