i don't think help is the problem. i think his "not being adventurous" during most of the songs is the problem. with or without help he can do things at least a bit differently from night to night, improvise a bit.

he has performed ISA almost note-for-note and move-for-move exactly the same for the last 4 years (other than the backup parts and what he had to change doing it completely solo during OMS tour). it's almost like he choreographed it once and is now sleepwalking through it.
