If you listen to the solo material of the different members you can see why the result of them all coming together was so explosive. It also serves to emphasise why as soon as the original line-up began to split apart it was never as good again. By this I mean Appetite was the pinnacle, although to follow up and surpass perhaps the greatest record of all time was always going to be a virtual impossibility.
The solo work of the original members has merits, Duff's and Izzy's being the strongest, but Velvet Revolver never recaptured it, which just proves it was about unique chemistry between five eclectic talents in a specific time and place, ie the 80s LA rock scene.
