Of course he wasn't. Takes more then one man or even two to make a band. Unfortunately, people tend to focus on one person and think that person is the be all and end all. It's as if they can't cope with the idea of a community effort, so to speak. Plus, the fact that the band has his name on it doesn't help. Nor the asskissers for that matter. More bands have broken up because of that kind of bullshit; it's an old, old story.
