Phil just doesn't suit the Bon Jovi sound and probably couldn't come up with decent parts. Some of the best guitarists in the world can play anything but creating memorable and fitting solos doesn't always come naturally.

I agree... Shanks is equally talented on guitar and his solos are somewhat limited too... But this isn't a guitar driven album either... Your lead guitar player splits and then you make a guitar driven album???? Nah!!!!
I also think that Jon is very particular. In a similar regard, Jon doesn't include Dave with any of the songwriting... He's got a proven track history with his solo projects and yet, no...
I bet they end up extending these songs for the tour... Something has to eat up the time and it's not Jon's voice...
