If we rule out the clashing of egos, maybe they were disagreeing about the direction of their music? 
Maybe some of them wanted it to be real rock (hence the band name), others would have liked to go more suitable for the masses to generate more money out of it. And this caused a bad atmosphere.
I feel that being attached to a project where everyone is busy and the mastermind is an old men whose head is attached to his body by threads of designer velvet and duck tape may not be so interesting when you have your own āāābloomingāāā" music carrer and many important things to do as an UNHCR goodwill ambassador

It was said that his split has nothing to do with ego or overly negative clashes (bad atmosphere), but, it would be very interesting to guess, think about, what the true opinion is on the currently set musical style and direction for this unit.
I question who of them is really satisfied with the overall outcome thus far, and who is not.
Global/general appeal vs quality and true creativity and actual rockā¦ who is really on what sideā¦
Seams pretty perfect to me, and much more preferable. Itās more fun that way, I think, more exciting, as itās āextraā, something you wont get all the time.
Thatās what Lāarc en Ciel does, essentially. Though, TLRS being a little more alive and active than Lāarc, would be a bit more welcomedā¦
