Maybe the label asked for some changes and the band couldn't be arsed? I know Jon wasn't fond of it being a single choice.

The only thing I think Phil has said on the matter was at a clinic he did after his sting with Bon Jovi in 2011 he was saying a few things he was in which included "bon Jovi's new song which I'm not sure I'm allowed to say". Then I remember he told the story of saying it to his grandmother because the song was playing on a Greys Anatomy commercial "hey look that's me on guitar!". Which I always just assumed he played all guitars except the solo but that's just always bend my assumption based on not much so I'd love to be wrong on that....
