As Steve has suggested you take away questions about drink/drugs and its pretty much all been covered.

I'm glad he seems to be sober now and seems to be able to knock out a few decent riffs/solo's again.

One question that has suddenly occurred to me...and it may be a it long winded LOL

The likes of Pete Way has always said that he could never understand why during Michaels original stint in UFO that he was never mentioned in the same bracket as Page/Blackmore etc. Even now many guitarists in famous bands cite Michael as a big influence. Does he wonder why he isnt a 'household' name as some of his contemparies are'

Boring I know nut there you go.....
