I think the main reason is that they were together for non-musical reasons. I also think that they wanted to imagine and hope against hope really really bad that those musical reasons would turn up later. They couldn't find any in their mismatched voices, so they turned to guitars. I think that the interviews where they talk about chemistry really high light their need to believe it was there. Obviously it wasn't. I don't think it would have been there even if Richie had given Ori more room.
For all his troubles, Richie has never had problems impressing the ladies.. So I think it was more about hanging onto something that never was there, than trying to impress her - and pretending there was some awesome chemistry in those awkward moments when they talked to each other through guitars. Damn, writing it down now feels even more ridiculous than it was back when they talked about it.
Anyway, too bad. What a waste of guitar players in the whole project. But the new record is coming and hopefully we can finally put the RSO fiasco to the rest for good.
