I think he sells as well as he needs to. Don't know the actual figures though, I'd like to.

There are so many artists whom I admire who can't just live from their music, so I totally see your point.
More than once I read interviews with Dev saying that he can't complain since he can make a living from what he loves doing...

"We worked hard for a living, we worked hard for it all"

Yeah, it's great when bands can live off their music.

Makes me think of Deicide, apparently they have a dry walling buisness or something? lol

i heard somewhere that the Symphony X bassist is also an accountant. Kinda funny to picture, one minute hes playing songs about serpents and dragons and then the next he's sitting in an office looking at numbers and reports.

Ah, I can't forget about Lord Worm. English Teacher by day, Death Metal vocalist by night.
