I think Dave is probably making a quarter million per season of Ink Master and probably doesn't even need Jane's Addiction at this point.cricket_bows wrote:

Was hooking up with Etty the crux of ALL of this, or did the numbers [money] offered just get so big that he couldn't say 'no' even if they had never found each other? With the revenue from the songs, touring, and the inflow from Lollapalooza, I find it hard to believe his caviar tastes got out of control and he needs the cash. For a cat that preached it from on high, he sure lost his internal compass. Incredibly disappointing, and embarrassing.)
I think Chaney makes decent enough money doing session work and probably doesn't need the gig.
Stephen DEFINITELY needs the money because he never does anything other than those celebrity jam sessions at Guitar Center.
And Perry... I think Etty is probably spending faster than he can make it. Plus he spent all his Jane's 1.0 money on buying slaves. With a hoarse voice and no chance anyone else will ever want to work with him on a new band at his age, I think he signs on for these shitty corporate gigs whenever Dave has a free month or 2 off of Ink Master to get him through the year till his Lollapalooza paychecks gets deposited into the joint checking account that Etty then empties within 6 days. Then she gets stressed from all the shopping and needs a vacation. 3 months later, begin the process again.
