This is obviously a completely different case than with MP-DT, but Paulo Baron (Angra's manager) confirmed that Kiko Loureiro is still part of the Angra's management, despite being out of the band for a while now since he joined Megadeth. I always found interesting how some band members might be completely out of the recording/touring band, yet they're more important/in higher hierarchy in the business side of things vs others who are just employees, yet we see them as part of "the" band.
Yep. Another couple notables;
Steve Perry is still an owner of Journey.
Sebastian Bach still has a corporate vote in the affairs of Skid Row (he just always gets outvoted by Rachel Bolan and Snake Sabo).
Those dudes theoretically still get a percentage of net revenues, even if they aren't performing/writing/creating.
But as Mosh said, and I agree, I can't imagine MP ever rejoining Dream Theater as an employee. I think it's pretty obvious MP is back in ownership/management structure.
Are James and Jordan owners? Anyone know their role in the band’s business?
No idea. It really differs depending on the band how things are structured. You can do almost anything. And a lot of the legacy acts, at least back when they formed, only have rudimentary agreements. I am sure, after all this time, and members, Dream Theater has their business agreements and corporate structure well done and very clear.
If I was a betting man, I'd say all of them have a piece of it now, with the rejoining of MP. Not sure if it is a five-way split of 20 percent each, but I am guessing all of them have a percentage.
