nobody hates Bon Jovi as in HATES them (other than that obsessed guy who was posting here). Let's face it, a band that has written Wanted Dead or Alive will inspire some form of admiration from any musician, from anyone who has ever picked up a guitar. Even Lars Ulrich ended up saying that it's one of the greatest road songs ever written.

At the same time, it's IMPOSSIBLE to not be cynical about Bon Jovi. Just listen to all the junk that they have written over the years, especially in more recent years. And again, anyone with a musical talent of some sort will call Because We Can and that sort 'JUNK'.

Phil X is no different. I'm sure he loves the classics - the fact that Jon let him sing the second verse of Wanted last time around is proof enough. He wanted to be part of it. And when you see him jam on Faith or on Lay Your Hands On Me - he looks on fire. There's no way a hard rock guitar player doesn't enjoy jamming on those. Impossible. So, in other words, Phil X is just a man with an objective opinion, and the attitude and body language of a 17 year old kid who is just about to start his first rock band. I really really dig him and whichever way Jon picked him, respect!

Having said that, the DRILLS suck balls and he can't sing for his life. But hell, he's a great guitar player.
