colgraff Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I think of The Power of Love by FGTH as a Christmas song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1451070009' post='2938142'] Funny you should put them both together....... he's said that just now it's about £800k a year, but I'm not sure if that's just his alone or half, split between him & Jimmy Lea. In a recent pub chat (with me, yes, really) he actually rated Mariah Carey's above MXE, reckoned it had it all for a Xmas record. [/quote]£800,000. Seriously?!

Big_Stu Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1451083119' post='2938233'] £800,000. Seriously?! [/quote] That's what he's been saying recently. It's charted 8 times apparently, was a million seller first time out and is on every compilation going. He was saying it was half a million a few years ago so I wouldn't be surprised. I was also told Quiet Riot's version of Cum On Feel The Noize in '83 made them £3m in royalties from the hit single and then the GH album it was on too. [url="http://www.nme.com/news/slade/74322"]http://www.nme.com/news/slade/74322[/url] Course he'll get hammered with tax, but he has a very good accountant. The same one that handles the Osbournes and Motorhead. Edited December 25, 2015 by Big_Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably goes some way to explaining why he's refused reunions all these years. Good on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
