I read through the closed thread and didn't see any mention of this...

His bands 2008 tour rider contract on Smoking Gun:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive...billybob1.html


Now that 'is' 2008 and this 'is' 2009, but come on, saying BBT gets 100% sole headline billing, and then complaining because someone brings up your accomplishments?


This isn't intended to restart a volatile thread... I just felt this info might shine a different light on how BillyBob contractually is handled vs the band. He's 'obviously' just one of the boys out on tour. (He demands private dressing room with bath, shower, etc, while band gets a single room with 'close proximity' to bathroom)

Do not let this degenerate into that other thread. Off topic posts, trolling posts and any profanity not 100% covered will receive infractions, etc.

Thanks!

Quite the coincidence that they came down with an illness the day after getting booed on stage in Canada. What are the odds?
