Speculation- when Bob moved to Pennsylvania it was at the urging of the former Live guitarist, Chad Taylor, who Bob stayed with when he first moved out there. Chad owns/co-owns a music store and production rehearsal studios which is where Bob set up shop. I’d have to think it’s a rather precarious situation because it seems Chad gets himself in some financial crazy shit on the regular, as evident by this story Rolling Stone did a couple years ago.
It’s a long read but I found it worth it, crazy shit and I always thought the singer was doing the stereotypical “I’m the singer, pay me the money” thing but I get the idea that dude knows any time he’s around the OG band members, it’s going to cost him money.
