World of Weird Al Yankovic

Does Al own his tour bus, or does he rent one every time he goes on the road?

He rents one, I think. They always seem to be different.

You think so? Isn't the band bus always that same black one with the gold/white detail on the sides?

He had a red on during the Scissors tour, I forget what the PH was, maybe black, now he has a different one from last year

Here's a bus company that lists Al as a client (but who knows when?)

LOL
http://www.hemphillbrothers.com/ This is the current site of the same company. As far as I can see they no longer list Al, but from the pictures I'd say these are certainly very much the same type of vehicles at least, that he still uses

and you're still three according to your profile

I doubt Al would be able to afford a tour bus on his salary. Signing up with one of those companies definitely cuts him a big one.

HAH, no. He probably does have one, he could easily afford to finance a bus dude. I don't know for sure if he has one but it would not come down to being able to afford it or not.

I'm sure he rents/leases the buses for each tour; the tour buses I have seen on the 2007, 2008, and 2010 tours were all different.

Probably alot easier renting it for a Tour than having it and not using it, cause he'd still be paying insurance and all that jazz when he's not on tour. Many, many bands have their own buses though, many also have gigantic band logos on them. The bigger bands obviously try to keep a low profile and not do that but I see it alot.
