Seems way less likely. At that point in their career Tom was going to want to play and prove himself. At that point he was still ripping on boy bands that didn’t play their instruments. It also sounds like his playing and riffs throughout the entire record. They played all of those songs live throughout the years. There are several pictures of him recording the album. For One More Time, Tom is clearly past the point of giving a shit about artistic integrity giving all the backing tracks he uses and comments hes made.The band has already had producers and non-band members play guitar at this point , and tons of the songs especially on the Deluxe side of the album just don’t sound like Tom’s playing at all. Rubins were both heavily involved with the album and they had already recorded several guitar tracks on several songs for Tom in AVA. You can keep arguing with me if you want but I rest my case. Lots of Tombots will never accept what’s right in front of their face though , they could teach lessons on how to cope lol
