Yeah, that was certainly the case behind the scenes, but in interviews in the press Jon would very much talk about the band as a BAND...

I just got done converting all my old VHS tapes of stuff recorded off the TV from 92 - 2000ish (I ended up with 15 DVDs worth!) and Jon was all about giving the other guys credit.

I agree, I think the last 5 years his attitude has changed somewhat as far as how he wants the band to be perceived...
