A Visit to Richard?

haha

almost anyone would want to stab you for a mother-stunt like that, but it strikes me as the kind of twisted joke he might appreciate

i heard he actually sold alot of units of that, especially for being vinyl.

most of his money is from advertising jobs though

Probably all the on-the-side releases... oh and Windowlicker (about 90% of his profit).

I think his ep's and video's have helped him a lot to get some mainstream attention, and make a lot of money. Ricky maintains his godlike status well, by giving ridiculous interviews, doing gigs incidentally, releasing material on a irregular basis and putting his tracks on a shitload of compilations.

I also think his fans (including myself) are worshipping him way too much.

i doubt windowlicker made a profit considering the cost of the video

Yes, the advance he got from Sire for a promised album was rather large I heard... not 90% of his profit though. Richard struck it big financially with his remixes and advertising tie-ins.

Mind you he always seemed to have cash... there was that radio interview (KISS FM) he and Grant did where he mentions he spends around 100 quid a fortnight on records... and that was back in 93'!

Pfft - small change - I think they spent around 120k on the video (I'd have to look up my notes from the time). That kind of money was spent in anticipation of a promised album (which got delivered several years later) and to help sell the EP.

Well, if I were to rob a bank, I know which one it would be.

Virtually no artist ever recoups from record sales. The record company gets the 60/70 % profits from the sale of any CD. There is no way in hell Richard got 90% of the profits from Windowlicker. As a matter of fact....advances have to be repayed to the record company and the 4 or 5% (!) slice the artist gets out of the sale of any cd is so minimal its scary. Even that disgusting Nickelback who sells by the truckloads hasn't recouped as of yet.

rob da bank

yeah i heard rob da bank on radio one the other night, he plays good stuff actaullyyllyly

much better than phil da brick

and bob the dildo :pinch: i once was walking through my town centre, and heard a bloke shouting at the top of his voice in the market square "get ya bob the dildos!"
