I know, that's what I said. :p
It was not Geiss related tough, I ment it in a "the whole band on stage" context.

Geiss is a bit more complicated matter... Pisces are usually not in it for the money (only).

Kind Regards,

Sting left the Police because his vision for his music was far broader than the other band members,
he felt he was being "held back",
similar perhaps also to Lennon.

If one looks at JMJ's music "post" Geiss : it is a wider palette and good for it too.
i.e. JMJ showing his many strings to his bow.

No!... it was entirely Yoko's fault.

Offtopic: Nah. Lennon left the Beatles because he was sick of the whole cirkus with Apple. He also felt that Paul had taken over the band after Brian Epstein died (which was true...but if he hadn't...then they probably wouldn't had carried on) and John was far too egoistic in his former leader-roll to accept that.
Musically he became more political but he started that before the band ended. I think that he just wanted to live his life with Yoko free of the Beatles...and especially Paul. That's the main reason why he decided to leave.
