This is the part of the interview for reference:

NRR: First things first, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. You got to get up on the stage and play at the Rock Hall. What was it like?

Phil X: It’s kind of funny cos you feel like an outsider, cos now you have the original line up. And then when you come in, and you know we rehearse and everything, but once you get on that stage you kind of feel like “am I even supposed to be here?” kind of thing. But at the same time, my family was there and my mom was there, my wife was there, my son was there, my brother was there, so it was kind of like an incredible moment that I got to share with family. So, that part of it is awesome. And musically you’re up there kind of like “wow….” You don’t feel like quite the same obviously as an original member, and I never will be and I accept that. And I accept that when I play live. When I’m on stage and people are like hey, where’s Richie, I’m like whatever, you know. Talk to Richie! He’s the one that split. But at the moment, I’ve created a space for me in the band when we play live and it’s home now. It feels like ok, I’m up here and I kick ass every night and I sing my brains out and I play my brains out and I work the crowd, I’m doing my job. Now, I’ve got like this much room and there’s the original line up and John Shanks to my left, and I’m like ok I need elbow pads like hockey or something, right. I’m like ok, just do your thing, man, it’s all good. And it was fun. I had the hair whips in and I got a solo in the new song, so you know. But it was weird, I had to flip switches. I don’t want to be the guy on the stage cos I don’t want to take attention away from the guys, you know. And Richie did all the solos, so I’m like “how does this rhythm go cos I play solos every night?”
