Ok before you answer this thread keep in mind there is NO bashing of any kind on the COB members...
Alexi drops out of school at the tender age of 16 to pursuite his life goal to become one of the best guitarist (IMO) of today. We can all agree that he has done a through job of getting technically increadible in addition to being a marvelous talent to the song writing community but without the scholastic background in business or economics would it fair to guess that he would be wide open to get screwed by a manager or accountant? Granted that Janne apparently is the "business" man amoung the members isn't it important to have this combination of education and talent to really "reap" your earnings. Most bands only tend to have about four-five years of income (of the larger amounts mind you). This spread over a fourty year peroid, well?
