As is often the case with genuis, it's on the edge. Just take a look at the Chillli Peppers guitarist (forget his name) that died of a heroin overdose. He was a genious and inspired the band to Blood Sugar Sex Magic - they wouldn't have produced that without him, or the fact that Anthony Kiedis (sp) was a recovering heroin addict ...

Or Ian Curtis with Joy Division, he was responsible for their best work yet after him they moved on into areas they'ed probably never have gotten into. Few bands are brave enough to try different things and it can take one member leaving for them to do so.
