The BTM era I think was treated similar to Bob Welch. After the Dance, it was "let's pretend Behind the Mask and Time didn't happen". Notwithstanding All Over Again surfacing on the Finn/Campbell tour. It would've been interesting to reunite that line up though as it did have potential and who knows where it would've gone after licking the wounds of the BTM sales and learning from its flaws- writing and production.

I forget the exact timeline, but you're right. Billy had surgery either right before the tour began, or right as it began. You know....STEVIE DIDN'T GET BILLY FIRED FROM ONE OF THE BIGGEST BANDS OF ALL TIME. You understand that, right? There's a huge difference! We know, Stevie can do no wrong, in your eyes.:rolleyes: Billy has been back playing gigs for some time now. |

I don’t know about Rick, though- I just kind of get the feeling he was more irritated about how the band handled things, especially with the RRHOF, and maybe had their number by 2019. Billy, I could see having more faith they’d give him another chance, which was probably why it hurt him so much when they didn’t. Rick seemed to understand where he stood in the big picture when it comes to FM. |

Billy has never really been more than a side man, IMO. He plays rhythm guitar, and sings backup vocal(some lead). BUT, he's been in many more of Mick's projects than Rick, or anyone else. Billy should have been pissed. There's no loyalty with FM, especially with Satan, err Irving, at the helm. I don't think Billy actually had a heart attack. I think they found blockage during a checkup, and decided they needed to clear it. |
Has anyone ever discovered who the mystery guitarist was that auditioned after Lindsey was fired? Billy broke the story so it was circumstantial evidence it was him. We know Stevie demanded Mike Campbell so one position was already taken. It may have been odd to invite only one of Billy and Rick back into the band. A true Sophie's choice. So that is circumstantial evidence that maybe neither Billy and Rick were considered. If Stevie had not already promised Mike Campbell, it may have seemed obvious to invite them BOTH Rick and Billy back. But with one position already taken, it would have been tough.
I want to know who played with the band and the band said.....no thank you. |

I’m sure someone will post his name here. |
From an Irving standpoint, Mike and Neil are bigger names than Billy and Rick, so in his satanic eyes, that's strengthening his brand.
Much akin to putting Vince Gill and Glenn's son in The Eagles. I need that guy managing my IRA... |
John Paul White of Civil Wars, but Brett wasn’t completely sure.

I do know Rick performed at the Peter Green concert, and I don’t think he would have unless he had somewhat made peace with Mick, but who knows. I was very disappointed that once Waddy got the child porn allegations dismissed, Rick was out as Stevie’s musical director and tours and Waddy was back in, but in fairness, maybe he was innocent. Seems like Rick and Stevie were just as tight as Mick and Rick ever were. |

Also, was Rick the musical director or was it Carlos and Rick was lead guitarist? |
