As if. Nobody is saying that at all so let's not go overboard.

Saying 'would a solo be good here?' - 'How about this riff?' etc is being part of a team. Giving a suggestion. Making your part of the input worthwhile.

Nobody is saying 'stand up to Jon and tell him what you think' so let's not go over the top.

What we are saying is that Phil, as we all know, is a quality guitar player who can certainly rock out. It's the first real album (by the looks of things) were we have him playing guitar on most songs. Not 4 this time. For him to reply and say 'are we kidding?' is a little bit arsey but not only that, is kind of giving Jon a bad name (no pun intended) as it's making it sound like he is set in his own ways. (Not that we didn't know that ourselves)

It's disappointment more than anything and only gives me less excitement than I already had for this album after seeing Phil's response.
