Obviously these bands are going to cash in on touring, I'm sure that while selling a million albums again would be great, Duran Duran aren't going to cry about poor record sales as they sleep on beds made of $100 bills after a 6 month North American tour. Same with Motley Crue (I thought those dudes were dead already?!)
Touring is where the money is, and any merchandise you sell on tour is YOURS, the record company doesn't give you a meager cut of that money.

The popular music of the 80's was arguably the worst in history. It was glam rock, pop icon, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper hell. The only things that saved us from the 80's was grunge, a resurgence of 60's and 70's blues rock. Popular music is much more diverse now than in the shallow music hell of the 80's.
