The way he was able to get the band back together is awesome. A more egotistical person would have burned bridges and leaned into a solo career. Instead, he continued making awesome music with Ronnie and left the door open for Dave and Mark to return. Both were impressed with the creative direction of Brandon and Ronnie and rejoined.
