Lindsey may have wanted to add a second guitarist and other musicians, but there was never any plan in place for that person to be Billy.
Billy got a call from Mick the day after the fight asking him to join. That was the first time Billy had any involvement in being in the band or on the tour. In fact, his solo career was taking off at that time and he had a new record deal. He had to fight to get out of that deal to join the band and tour. Rick then joined after Billy was already on board.
