Default Solo in If I Was Your Mother

Last Saturday I had quite an interesting conversation with the guitar player of Bounce before their gig. I had asked him if they could do IIWYM and he said that he doesn't like playing that song much. He said that the song drowns during the first part of the solo as it would be almost impossible to play and he added that he isn't sure if Richie really played it the way we hear it on the record as it sounds more kind of "constructed" to him. I'm not a musician myself, but after that I went and watched some videos and realized that both the live performances of Bounce and BJ differed very much during the beginning of the solo. What do you guys think?
