It was that material that gave Jones the chance to show how good he was, and he couldn't handle the pressure. Which is why he had the problems he did and why he was finally ejected from the band.

It doesn't matter if you were talking about his personal life or not, the man and the musician are same thing, you can't separate them.
And he was still a very talanted musician who could play a wide variety of instruments. No matter what you say, that statement can't be denied.
