The Butthole Surfers Have Turned Down Six Figures to Reunite
The Butthole Surfers are being . . . well . . . BUTTHOLES to their fans. Because they won't reunite, even though they've been offered SIX FIGURES to do it.
Basically, they got too out-of-control back in the day, and they don't want to go through that again.
Gibby Haynes says, quote, "I have a 13-year-old son, who is the [effing] light of my life. I've got an actual family and it's awesome. Little league baseball and middle school basketball? Dude, it's the [stuff]."
And Paul Leary adds, quote, "I just don't want to do it. We're really lucky to not be in prison and I don't want to push that any more. I don't want to be sending a bandmate home in a body bag or for a venue to burn down."

Bruce Dickinson Thinks Front Row Concert Tickets Should Be the Most Reasonably Priced for Real Fans
Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson thinks the front row seats at a concert should be the most reasonably priced . . . NOT the most expensive.
His reasoning is pretty simple. It's for the REAL fans. Quote, "People who are kids, people who can't afford the crazy money, but they are the people that need to be down the front, they're the people that are gonna keep this music alive."
Bruce thinks ticket prices are way too high overall these days. Quote, "I've got no interest in paying 1,200 dollars to go and see U2 in the Sphere. None. A hundred bucks, maybe.
"But for me, what's important is to try and keep the right type of tickets at the right price."
He says there's a delicate balance with pricing, but in general, it's gone through the roof. So he tries to keep the prices for both solo and Iron Maiden shows within a normal range.
