Wish Mel would have joined Part II on stage at least once.

Wish Mel would have joined Part II on stage at least once. I wonder if he was ever approached? I thought that he had been invited to join them on stage and said no. Although retaliation from Jeff Lynne wouldn't be the reason - he was kicked out of ELO via a letter, which Mel has said he didn't appreciate (although his time in ELO was enjoyable before that). Hugh was kicked out with a similar letter.

I knew about his and Hughies sackings so he had nothing to lose as such if he had joined part2.

I heard or read that Hugh clashed with Eric Troyer and it became a me or him situation, how true this is I don’t know.

Yes, I've read that Hugh was still living the rock n roll lifestyle when he "temporarily" joined Part II, and that was the clash with ET. In a more serious vein, I would have loved to see both Mel and Hugh stay with ELO Part II at least for the first five years when the band was most active in a recording sense.
