Ego is part of the business, everyone has it to some degree. But Child has every right to claim a part of the success of the band because if it wasn't for those songs he co-wrote it's unlikley the band would have blown up like it did and Bon Jovi would just be another forgotten 80s rock band. John Shanks can't claim anything like that. I've never seen anything as ridiculous as "I am part of their legacy" come out of Child's mouth. Because he doesn't need to - he has his own huge legacy that he is rightfully very proud of. So does Shanks and he should focus on that rather then trying to latch on to a legacy that was created by others...
Just my opinion of course, but the arrogance of that quote rubbed me the wrong way. I'm fully aware that it was a click bait title, and I fell for it, but that doesn't change the fact that he said it...
