Why is that exactly? Richie has done nothing spectacular the past 5 years, ever since his alcohol problem got out of control. He's been going through the motions, has been doing the same licks over and over again, even when he was given the freedom to improvise, such as in songs like LYHOM recently. This is actually something you should notice, as you're saying you're a guitar player. What's so fascinating about Richie recently?
This other guitar player shows up and guitar solo's are different again, things get mixed up in the performance, Bobby is suddenly a lot better and the entire guitar sound is a lot less sloppy and has a bit more edge. Just because you are the Richie fanboy doesn't mean that it can't be a better performance without Richie. If anything, Richie has proven right now that he actually can be replaced.
Salaam Aleikum,
