Em7b9 is spelled E, G, B, D, F from the root. This just so happens to be the mnemonic for naming the lines in the staff - (E)very (G)ood (B)oy (D)oes (F)ine. But believe me, this is just a coincidence as far as this thread is concerned.

As pointed out, BIAB does not recognize this chord.

G7/E is spelled E, G, B, D, F (from the bass note). BIAB does recognize this chord, hence my recommendation to substitute.
