Yes. Gould have hinted before that if they do something like a tour again Jim might make a guest appearance. I´m a fan of his work and skills as a guitarist. Maybe ít´s because I think they peaked with Angel Dust and King For A Day... was a letdown.
I belive the problem with Jim wasn´t that everybody hated him. Sure, they were open about the band conflicts but they all got a taste of it. The problem with Jim was the same as with Joey in Thrax. Jims contributions dropped and the rest of the band became frustrated with his lack of vision and quality material.
I could sit ananalyze this til Satan comes and grabs me so for now I´ll leave it and see what happens.
Who else could play guitar? Hudson, Menta, Spruance... Bowen? Maybe they will reunite with Chuck or Cortney? That would be müch trüer.
