I think Billy is actually showing a lot of respect towards the old band and the place in music history it holds by not trying to re-create that moment in time. In that sense it really isn't just some hollow "reunion" or feeble re-creation of the band...it really is back to being about the idea behind the music. My guess is that the record company/commercial interests were pushing the former, and that perhaps Billy is finally learning to progress in a more healthy way.
