Bad Hair Day is his 9th album. And it comes 13 years into his career. He has only recorded 5 albums since. 5 albums in 11 years.

To someone like me, who has been listening to him since I was 5, yeah, it's his later stuff.
His career path is eerily similar to Pearl Jam.
How soon can we expect a joint tour?

Depends, if it's financially beneficial to both of them, soon probably.

I think an Ed/Al joint tour is more likely. Less overhead.

An evening with "Weird Al" and "Wealthy Eddie."

But Al's shows are fairly expensive, no? I mean it's all spectacle.

Wealthy Ed is gonna teach him that you don't need all the bells and whistles.

I probably wouldnt go, but I would pay a significant amount for one of the t-shirts.

It would all depend on the extras/easter eggs. If I can Weird Al doing Cornell's parts on Hunger Strike, or maybe even Eddie doing the chorus on a few Weird Al songs, then absolutely.

"Gee Wealthy Ed, I wish I made more money touring."

"The problem is you've got this whole big production, Weird Al. Other musicians, props, lights. That's cutting into your profit."

"What do I do about it, Wealthy Ed?"

"Just sit on a stool next to a Corona case for two hours while people yell things."

"You're so wise, Wealthy Ed."

Man, I had just typed up my own exchange between Al and Wealthy Eddie, but it didnt include a gif so I'll shelf it.

Can one of the more talented RMers make it so that they're both competing for the same dollar bill? And then we can print up t-shirts.

I'm not gonna lie, if Ed started wearing a gold suit with dollar bill signs all over it and billing himself as "Wealthy Ed" I would probably make it a point to go to a solo show.

In alot of ways, it would be more Neil Young than anything he or the band have done in 10+ years

Does Weird Al have any songs about being rich? He's got to, right?
