The Highest Grossing Rock Band Of The Last Decade Is NOT Metallica

Author Sean Roberts

According to blabbermouth.net, the top grossing bands of the last ten years made some serious bucks!

Bon Jovi made an astounding $866 million dollars since 2010. Impressive, especially when you consider that Jon Bon Jovi is also heavily involved in charity work. His New Jersey restaurants that feed the homeless and hungry for free recently celebrated serving over 100,000 people.

Here’s one that may blow your mind. Second place goes to Roger Waters! When you have albums like The Wall and Dark Side Of The Moon to your credit, it’s easy to understand the $702 million dollars generated by his constant touring over the last decade.

Now we come to Metallica. The boys earned $661 million dollars in ticket sales since 2010. Pretty wild when you have three rock bands in front of you and you still made that kind of bank, huh?

The, coming in barely behind Metallica…the band you probably expected to see on this list…Guns N’ Roses…made a stout $648 million dollars on their tours from the last few years.

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny. That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards. After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind. He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex. He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
