Other than to pad ticket sales, without the possibility of new music, I don’t get why they brought on Neil and Mike instead of bringing back Billy and Rick.

I think FM thought they had already been down that road with Billy and Rick, and wanted something different. I also suspect Rick would have said no even if he had been asked- I don’t know why I feel that way, Rick has always been respectful of his time with FM but I think he might subscribe to the philosophy “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” I believe FM didn’t include Rick or Billy when they were inducted in the RRHOF. And Billy had his heart surgery shortly after Neil and Mike joined, but thankfully he seems to have recovered.
