I've heard him play for other artists as well and as soon as it's stuff that actually requires him to solo over more than a standard blues/rock & roll scale he's lost. I'm not bitching about his voice because it's excellent and it's clear that he helps Jon a lot. Bed Of Roses wouldn't sound the same without him. And the It's Just Me guitar solo is just noise. The way he plays that one is how I play it on an off day.

What can I say, you are a true professional. The It's Just Me guitar solo is brilliant so I have no idea what you're talking about. I agree that his comfort zone is on a blues/rock & roll scale but that's what's likeable.
IMO, a rhythm guitarist is average. Bobby is more than that. The dude can play. Unfortunately there are no videos for the past two night and I'm not about to go through every video on Youtube to prove it. He is not a rock-n-roll Bon Jovi guitarist, that's why Phil X filled in but he's still very good.
