When these songs were re-recorded, the band worked for two weeks, and then they went on vacation, so Jon kept working with Shanks in the mixs, Jon want change the sound of guitars or add something more, and since Richie was not available, they finally chose to call a session guitarist to add some parts. That guitarist was Phil.
The absence of Richie and the impatience of Jon was the cause in that recording.
The original solo is extended.

Funny to compare the alternative/demo version to the final one, as exactly the guitar part I like the most about the song (the "stop" in the bridge, just before "Why does someone always have to doubt it") isn't in the demo and was probably played by Phil. And I thought at the time that Richie finally played stuff like that too. How ironic
