Well, so much of the various scenarios depend on developing a more certain than vague timeline in terms of exactly when who was approached and particular dates specific activities were undertaken...all of which is something I haven't bothered to figure out. Mostly laziness on my part, but the generalized "it happened sometime during the summer of 1996" timeframe does leave the door open.
I mean, if Hagar is correct that Ed called him on Father's Day and told him that Roth was already working with the band, that does leave a significant period of time between that event and the VMAs where the band could have been considering Roth before Cherone had even met the band and been anything to the band other than a name on a slip of paper their manager gave them to consider.
It would be hard to imagine that Eddie hadn't at least considered Roth being involved with band beyond the BOV1 stuff. As to when that thought was dismissed in Ed's mind is anyone's guess.
