i agree with most of the fellow jovi talkers. phil x looks bored, he obviously didnt came up with the parts with the exception of the bd solo so he probably feels distant to the music and it shows..
shanks is more than decent guitar player, he is just not looking the part, but in an audio recording shanks fits the songs way way better.
in a way i believe its for the best that phil x cant truly fit and after all these years since Richie left to have a genuine second vrs. maybe jon didnt let him truly participate, maybe he didnt bring to the table what was needed but the end result is phil x looks like a hired gun who is there to give some rock flavour in the solos but doesnt trully fit there imo.
i truly enjoyed the film, have seen it 2 times by now and i ll keep watching it, some great moments in there.
