The band has a cult following, I'm among them. Most of the music that was put out commercially is uber-bubblegum pop dross, but as song writers Robertson and Page are incredible wordsmiths. If anyone cares to check out the album "Maroon" which is probably their best studio album. Their live shows are what made them popular, though. High energy and entertaining to an insane degree. There will be a significant difference without Page's vocal stylings, but the band will certainly keep its fan base. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall though, you just know this has to do with drugs and ego...Page was arrested in July for a cocaine posession charge shortly after divorcing from his wife and dating someone less that half his age or so....
