Of course he’s a sideman.
Most frontman songwriters have a “keyman clause” in their record contracts, and maintain the legal equivalent of such an arrangement in all band affairs (such as a reunion tour.) A keyman clause renders the frontman as “the actual band” and the other members as hired guns even if the band is still presented as a democratic whole in the public eye. Google it if you’re interested. 99% of bands operate this way. It’s kinda fucked up really..
And we don’t have to speculate about whether Billy runs SP in this manner. He talked about the keyman clause in his 2011 Matt Pinfield interview.
