Se på denne så ser en at Maiden og Metallica er mest tjenende..

Hvordan kan du si det, når Zeppelin har solgt flere enn Metallica og Maiden til sammen?
Jeg har for øvrig enig med Tweakman i at de i Kiss må ha gjort det bra, fordi de selger sinnsykt mye annet enn plater også. Men jeg tror Gene Klein glatt overgår Stanley Harvey Eisen hva penger angår, selv om han ikke når Stanley til anklene som verken låtskriver eller vokalist. Gene har jo kjøpt royalityene til George Peter John Criscuola, og har dermed like mye inntekter fra disse som Stanley og Paul Daniel Frehley til sammen.
En som har gjort det bra på flere måter er Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Han var aldri medlem av bandene, men har produsert bl.a. Back in black og Hysteria, to av de mestselgende heavy-platene. Når jeg sier på flere måter skyldes det selvfølgelig at kona hans heter Shania Twain....
