Image aside, people wanna feel like what they're seeing is authentic, why have some guy up there who is unneeded who wasn't in the original band? You already have the 2 original guitarists in Billy and James. Bassist would be the only suitable role for him, and that would throw off the image and romance of a reunion.
A mainstream big-time rock band with a female bassist was a big deal in those days. It was a huge selling point of their image... It's easy to overlook that fact in 2018, but to the casuals that association matters

I think you missed my point. Your phrasing is really terrible there.
