santellavision Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 Anyone here invest in Rick new Vodka? https://bit.ly/3DkIqB5
kizanski Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 This friggin' guy... Vodka now. Does he have someone off stage drink it for him so he can flick shot glasses in to the crowd?
kizanski Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 @Ed Rechts - I didn't know wtf he was until I Googled him just now. What I will do now with that useless morsel of information is anyone's guess.
cmatthes Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 Odd choice for a sponsorship, since Nielsen stopped drinking 20 years ago, and he’s hardly known by the primary Vodka-drinking demographic (18-29 yr. olds and then 30-49 yr. olds) but then again, I’m not interested in investing, nor drinking Vodka. I guess that Rick and the band are the only positive thing associated with Rockford, IL, so they came to him for promotion? He does invest a lot in the town and various businesses, but this doesn’t ring sincere.

cynic Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 Local military base routinely has 1.75L Tito's on sale for $23.60. Who needs other brands?
scottcald Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 I have zero interest in this, but some questions in no particular order: • If it tanks, can I sue Rick for his influence getting me to invest? • Is Rick going off the wagon? • I hate that he has a shirt with the CheapTrick logo font. • Doesn't he have enough of his own money to do this? • Can I now assume anything he does with Gibson is also disingenuous?

He may have the money, but if he has no experience in producing or marketing vodka it is better to just be an investor. If he wants more involvement he is going to have to put in more time, and that means less guitar fun. Bruce Dickinson loves aviation, but partnered with someone who knew the business better than he did. However, he learned a lot and took on more responsibilities while still in his 40's. Somehow, I cannot see Rick looking for more work in his 70's.
Dave Scepter Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 He saw how much George Clooney made with tequila and figured~
Rich_S Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 And let’s not forget Neil Geraldo and Three Chord Bourbon. I actually saw a middle-aged guy in the local Home Depot last weekend, wearing a Three Chord T-shirt. This seems to be a trendy way for late ‘70s rock stars to support themselves in their dotage. It’s not just poorly-made concert shirts on the merch table any more.

hamerican gigolo Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 I say, go for it Mr. Nielsen. Product endorsement is nothing new in the RnR world. 🌎 Mr. Hagar is crying all the way to the bank.
