MAX CAVALERA MAKES MORE MONEY THAN YOU

Monday, February 15th, 2010 at 3:30pm by

Not that this really has anything to do with anything, but Blabbermouth reported over the weekend that Max Cavalera and his wife/manager Gloria are selling their Phoenix home (above) – which is 2,794-square-feet and has five bedrooms and three and half baths – for a list price of $1.475 million.

Now, Max’s musical output over the past ten years has been really solid, so he’s obviously not one of these rich dudes who has fallen out of touch and now makes art that is wholly irrelevant. And I know that taxes n’ shit will take a large chunk of whatever he and his wife end up making from the sale. Still, I no longer feel guilty about the fact that I never bought any Cavalera Conspiracy merch.

Also, the value of this home is still only, like, 1/100th of that of the MetalSucks Mansion. I actually tracked Vince down in Egypt and suggested we buy this home under the condition that Max be at the closing so we could meet him, but Vince, ever frugal, told me I should place an interview request through his publicist instead. What a party pooper.

If you’re wealthy and want to capitalize on Vince’s mistake, you can get more info on buying this luscious pad here.

    I’m from Phoenix. Got a feeling it’s not worth 1.475 million anymore; but perhaps it has a lot of property, because that isn’t much square footage compared to some of the weirdos around here.

        still, 2,794 sq. feet is hardly a mansion. Maybe the property is in a good location?

          There had better be gold under the house for that price if it’s six acres. There is NOTHING out there. New River is the stupidest name out there, it’s a freaking wash.

    3k square feet for $1.5mil is average around here. Hell, my 1400k town house cost me close to $500k

    • orbital

            God, which place isn’t these days??… I’m looking to end up in a somewhat similar situation, looking at apartments right now.. It’s getting harder and harder to justify living in a metropolitan area for the price you have to pay…

    Baths: 3.5???

    What’s a 0.5 bath?

    • Dexter

      Probably an extra toilet in the kitchen of that shithole

    • http://thenumberoftheblog.wordpress.com/ groverXIII

      A bathroom with no shower/bathtub.

      I learned a lot when I was buying a house.

      I’m shocked that people don’t know what a “half bath” is.

      • Ziltoid

        I’m surprised that people don’t die of stupidity, but hey, I guess we’re both shocked.

        Not knowing what a half bath is is quite pathetic.

          There’s a song by a band called Zero Cipher called ‘Stupid People Make Me Angry’. Right up your street. Although you probably won’t like it.

    “makes art that is wholly irrelevant. ”
    ummm, not sure about that one.

  • brandonmetal

    the burning question- how much would it go for if it wasn’t owned by a…um…’metal celebrity?’

    • stu1

      I doubt it has any impact. The Lennon connection has more impact.

  • gnarlk

    when you refer to max’s work from the past ten years as being “solid”, do you mean it in a manner similar to “i passed a solid”?

    I can think of hell of alot more I’d want to buy with almost 1.5 million dollars then a oversized condo in the middle of the fucking desert.

  • Rock Johnson

    So because the guy has worked his ass off over the years you feel better about stealing his music and not buying his merch. Thats so fucking lame.

    You should stop selling ads on your site then. Everything should be for free.

      I kinda wanted to echo this sentiment as well. I think a lot of people feel like they will decide whether or not to buy an artist’s stuff based on their stature in life. Well, that shit comes and goes and the reason those bands tour most of the year when they’re in their 40s and shit is because they don’t make money off CD sales and they have families to support. Do we really want this situation where fans are judging the economic needs of bands? That sounds fucking awful to me.

  • Geekbeater

    I always wondered how much bands actually do make. Obviously Metallica are millionaires but what about the lower bands like Hatebreed and Chimaira?

    • bucketochicken

      a pittance.

    This man hasn’t touched a decent album since “Arise”, and even that album was a pale shadow of their former glory.

  • thehatemachine

    I have partied at that house many many times. its pretty secluded and very peaceful there. Its also where the filmed the seek and strike vid years ago. I think the asking price is because of the location and the view.
