My conjectures would align with those conjectures!

Dave is certainly the captain of the ship.  Lemmy is Motörhead, Iommi  
is Sabbath, Dave Brock is Hawkwind, etc., etc.  My experience with  
Nik is very limited, though from where I stood he seemed like a good  
guy and a gentleman ... though even knowing what little I know about  
his personality and Dave's, I can see why there could occasionally be  
some ... issues :) there!

Ach!  Musicians and artists!  Excepting that they're the only way to  
get music and art, nobody would ever trouble to work around all the  
personalities and egos and traumas and associated impedimenta! ;)

Cheers,
Carl
