Cause good musicians (who weren't born into rich families) devote all their time to their instrument, and if they make it big, they're set for life, if not,they're bums. Alexi would be just like that bum if he never made it. Playing AMAZING guitar while some asshole filmed it but he got nothing in return.
Ok, sorry... but to be fair, for those who have only seen him on Conan, which is a great fucking show btw he doesn't do a hell of a fucking lot, other than a few shitty beats and a bunch of dumb smiles when the camera pans to him.. Right?
