As for a whole new "frontline", Billy was in the band for seven or eight years at that point, and was heavily associated with the band for years prior to that. He was in a somewhat similar position as Christine was in 1975. Where they screwed up is not doing any of his songs from "Behind The Mask."

I really feel that Christine and Billy should both have been more the focus in the new "frontline", but with Christine not wanting to tour and apparently Billy leaving then returning late in the making of the album, I guess it wasn't really possible. Though they did have good chemistry and had a few songs and kinda a history together. And essentially ignoring
Behind the Mask album was a mistake, definitely!
