too true. altho you have to admit - here to stay is like one of those pieces were the artist has reached the pinnacle of their talent, and thus cant stop tinkering with it (not knowing that it has already started to slowly dissipate). they took so long to record that album and then it was mostly all downhill from there.
if they'd have bowed out in 2000 (and possibly saved head from having to do that xtian thing) - spent a bit on rehab for him, did a few goodbye shows - then yeah - they'd have truly done something special.
