You sir, need to remove the blinkers and realise that Phil X is saving the day right now and cut the guy some slack.
And I don't get why you keep banging on about his songwriting? I don't go to shows to watch someone sit with a pen and some paper. He may have helped write some great songs, but he isn't bloody there to play them.

I would be happy to see a show jon bon jovi solo with Phil, but not one of Bon Jovi.
For me, Bon Jovi are the union of Jon and Richie. They have something special like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Plant and Page, Mccartney and Lennon.
It's a shame that most fans only follow THE MAN.
Phil X has no guitar solos as Dry County, Nex 100 years, never has composed and written songs like Stranger in this town or Seven Years Gone. It all counts.
