I think that you have misunderstood my comment. I'm not saying that Richie is better now or something, just say I can not say that Phil is a great guitarist simply because it plays the songs of this new album properly. Guitar work on the album is not great, is not impressive, live work is just right and well executed. But no there greatness on guitar with these songs, and Phil did not get out of the script, unless that count a smile.
The only good thing is that Phil is a safe guitarist as John Shanks, and I'm sure Jon is happy for that, but there is nothing special with the new material you are playing. ah, even the most reliable, can go wrong. Come On Up to Our House, Phil fail again in New York.
Phil X could be a great guitarist, it has potential, but this will not see it in the Jon's band. Richie was more than a great guitarist in this band.
