Instead of freaking out over this royalty check thing, have you guys ever thought that Roddy's annual take was so low because Erik Rutan has the songwriting credits? (I'm not 100% sure of this, but Rutan definitely seems to be the core of that band.)

Just because someone plays on a record doesn't mean they get an equal cut of the royalties.

And while I very much agree that Roddy is an amazing musician, I am with Josh about the fact that skill does not entitle someone to money. I mean it sucks that talentless metalcore hacks make a killing while Roddy gets a pittance, but any Death Metal musician should know from the start that actually making decent money off his music requires more than just skill, but also luck, business sense and the ability to write good songs.

Who cares about the royalties? Him & Rutan own a recording studio together, they're biz partners. I'm sure they sunk alot of $$ into it & it's probably the biggest reason for his debt. Yes he's an amazing drummer, and has many endorsements, but he still pays for his equipment. It costs a lot of money to put new heads on those drums & he probably shreds 2 or 3 pairs of sticks a day. It's expensive for him to go on the road.
