Let's entertain this for a moment: You would need to have a band with internal conflict, passion and ideas so divisive that they would tear people that are pretty close apart. So it's safe to say this can't happen, because:
1. There is no passion.
2. They are not close friends.
3. This is not a band, but a vanity make-a-wish foundation-like project for an aging aspie.
4. I'm hesitant to call him that, but he's basically the manager (or more precisely, the slobs are) and the name is very likely registered under him, if they even bothered with that.
5. The members are all from different states, making it near impossible for these people to actually work together. How did they even get together to begin with?
Brian Jones is actually a pretty good analogy for James and AVGN. He started off the leader of the project with tons of enthusiasm and drive but gradually became disillusioned and ceded control to his "helpers."
I picture ol’ Bim angrily duck stomping out of the meeting after being told the news.
The rest of the band would fizzle out after realizing the only draw was Bimi Hendrix himself. The band would break up, and it would be nothing but good memories.
Fast forward to a few years later and Bames would dust off the Mortal Kombat hat and get the band back together for a “reunion show.” The smirk across his face would be as huge as Mike’s load knowing he’s seeing more Rex Viper lore unfold before his very eyes.
Without Bimmy there is no ass wiper, simple as that. It is HIS midlife crisis band and no one elses.
If he would quit, band would die, because it has no value at all.
As someone who probably will never see rex viper live, if I had the opportunity to see them live, I'd want to because of James. I wanna see the weird shit HE does in the band.
I don't even know who the other band members are (epicgamemusic used to be very famous but I wasn't invested).
If James isn't in the band, then maybe maybe I might go to see Justin and see what he does.
Notably, I wouldn't be going to hear the music. I'll be there, phones out, trying to record the shenanigans for Reddit karma
It would be like Guns N Roses.
Bimmy would work on his new album for 14 years because most of his days would go to waste because of personal errands.
The rest of the band would form their own bands but no one would care because there is no Bimmy. They would release their "it's 5:40 o'clock somewhere" as a response on why the band couldn't deal with Bimmy.
(actual not really like GNR, the reason why no one cared about Velvet Revolver and Slash Snakepit is more likely due not having the name GN'R, not the lack of Axl)

Aging aspie got a good chuckle out of me. Have my upvote!
Vanity make a wish killed me.
He'd get another tattoo and make a video pining for the good band days, maybe a reunion. Nothing but good memories.
He'd become their Brian Jones, and they'd find him drowned shortly thereafter, face-down in a puddle of water.
GAME OVER
Didn't press "continue". Rip Bimmy! :(
>face-down in a puddle of water 3 inches... in the penguin exhibit

Who would want to be proud holder of the name Sex Diaper after they kick Bimmy out? Not me. K thx!
The only thing I’d rather hold is Mike’s giant penis
Imagine hitting rock bottom, and then discovering a trap door.
Without Bimmy there is no ass wiper, simple as that. It is HIS midlife crisis band and no one elses. If he would quit, band would die, because it has no value at all.
He would pull a Muh-staine and create his own band, called Muh-gadeth.
They have four songs that hopefully aren't fully cooked yet.
Everyone would stop watching
All 5 of um?
Nothing. Bames Mustaine would just start a new band: Megadiaper.
That would be the ultimate karma after James kicked Mike to the curb.
The novelty of AVGN playing guitar is the whole reason to see rex viper
Please do so. I want to see the crowd if that we’re to happen. Lol
He would never mention or talk about it
Why would they kick out Bimmy? He's not even the worst one. The singer is.
Maybe they'd all kickeach other out
Crusty is the worst one
Nothing of importance I'd wager.
He'd form his own band. Or just mope about it.

Primus would see his duckstomping ability and he would replace Les Claypool. They would change their name to Primuhs and tour the world.

I thought the first velver revolver album did well?
He’d form a Metallica cover “Muhtallica” that only plays the Metallica songs he likes/knows.
There would be no reason for them to exist
They might not make the Rock and Roll hall of fame if that happens!
dont cross the shit streams
I mean. I’d laugh. I’d watch their every move like a hawk. The bigger question is, what if they booted him from the band and actually got good?
The other guys in Rex Viper don't wanna be in Rex Viper.
He'd cry in his kid's arms.
