Lol, seems like I'm the only one that thinks Phil fits right in with the band. Sure, he comes more from the Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen school of Shredding than the Clapton, Page and Sambora school of blues based leads but I think he hasn't missed a beat. It remains to be seen what (if any) leads he can come up with in a Jovi song but as far as playing Richie's parts he's mostly nailed them. The only complaint I have is his talkbox sound, the dude needs more bass and overdrive on it, it sounds too thin, trebley and compressed.....
