I don't think it would have changed his decision to leave if they were more
popular.
I'm just wondering why U2 have just gotten bigger, whereas the Oils
popularity waned so much during the 90's that a lot of people are surprised
when they hear that they are still around.
Is it because they are Aussie? Did ESM/Breathe turn mainstream audiences
off?
I think all of their albums post D&D could have been top 10 in the states
had things been a little different.
