So i guess what Ted and i were saying for years about James is correct. He is and was always a hired gun for his 16 years of service.

Are you kidding me after 16 years with the Scorpions. The band is paying him only $12,000 a month which means 144k a year. I have managers at my company that makes more then that a year.

Plus his contract has not been renewed so does that mean after the show on December 17 is James going to be part of the Scorpions??

If the band is only paying James 12k a month after 16 years in the band what are they paying Pawel who has only been in the band for 8 years. Why would Klaus and Rudy want to retire if they are bringing in big money while paying two members very little money.

I just feel this is so pointless, and reading the fuss between Athena and James just cracked me up

Really none of our business if you ask me, either what any of them get paid or their ex-wives and the whole "he said, she said" stuff.

We don't know the whole story and TMZ certainly isn't a reliable source to find those things out.

Except it was James who went to TMZ himself, so.... and really, if they put themselves out there for all the world to see, then of course it's going to generate conversation among the fans. It's only natural.

So does this mean that James makes less a month then ..

John Bonham
Keith Moon
Cozy Powell
Buddy Rich






Maybe its not about the money but the chance to play with the best band ever

Btw ,, Elvis still makes big $$$$ each month and doesnt even perform..

I was wondering who was gonna post this......

i doubt that's the right figure...seriously...pffft....
i agree no one business.....but if you put it out there......its fair game....

Nah, if I have time enough of feeling regret about anybody's financial situation in showbiz, I will do.
Nobody dies of hunger in that world, just saing.
If James or anybody else of showbiz will have just that certain amounth for living a month like many people have in Hungary, I will start to feel sorry.

This Made my day, Gabi, thanks!

I read about this from Athena`s FB wall as well.

Except it was James who went to TMZ himself,

Yeah , I read that too.

Really none of our business

Yeap, it should be just the 2 of them,.. maybe along with their childs... oh well, ... and maybe some lawyer.

[Scottss8]

Sorry i did not start this topic to bash James. I was just stunned about the lack of money he was making in the Scorpions.

They have 3 kids and those kids should be first in their minds...

[Thomas]

It would be cool if someone has info as to what other musicians earn ..
they always tell us what actors and actresses earn
Why not rock stars .. it would help your kids decide on what they wanna be in life
And btw ,, if James has 16 years at $12k a month does that mean
that at 8 years Pawel is at $6k a month ??
Oh and as for the money issue, the Olsen twins are 2 of the riches ppl in the world

and they sure as hell dont spend much on groceries.

IMO James declared just 12000$ to pay less taxes and to pay less to Athena. I think he earns much more in "black".

Yep .. he probably has a secret bank account in Australia

[Funnynunny]

I will reiterate what I said earlier since it must have been missed:

Except it was James who went to TMZ himself, so.... and really, if they put themselves out there for all the world to see, then of course it's going to generate conversation among the fans. It's only natural.

And I will add to that!! HE told the world his income...so it must be our business if he told everybody. just sayin...

[Gabi6912]

What's your problem exactly with hungarian girls crazykid?

ah balogna.

Cristy is right...James was the one who went to TMZ since Athena is on that new show in Canada bashing James the whole time. I think he is protecting his assets.

I know Herman would not be in the Scorps for 12k a month..maybe that is why he will never be a Scorpion again.

It should be interesting to see if the Scorpions will renew James contract at the end of the year..

Honestly, thank you Gabi.

I'm wonder as well,...
By the way, I was expecting something like earning 1000 Euro each show,...

Better yet
Renew James contract and get a new manager

Or

Since the band sings about Peace , Love and Rock n Roll .. Practice what you preach and get over the Francis issue and restore the 80s lineup.


OH and did i mention getting rid of Amend
