Don't get what everyody has against Shanks as a touring member. He is miles better then Bobby in every way (except vocally, which is why Everett is there). Visually he suits the band, his playing is great, he has a great tone, understands his role as a rhytm guitarist (mostly) on stage and has co-written a lot of Bon Jovi songs. Mostly, it looks like he is having a great time on stage compared to Bobby which looked like he was coming right from a 9 to 5 office.
