Well lets see,maybe just maybe they wanted the RC band to sound different to Skynyrd cause it was a different band! If you listen to any band that is a side project of another band,the solo stuff should sound different! Jon Bon Jovis stuff (with the exception of the Balze of glory CD) sounds vastly different to Bon Jovi the band! Nikki Sixx has produced stuff outside Motley Crue that sounds nothing like Motley Crue. The whole point being if you wanna sound like "Band X" why bother creating "Band Y",you might as well just stick to creating stuff for "Band X". RC was a side project until matters could be sorted.
