This is an interesting discussion. You guys know a lot more about this side than I do; but I tend to agree with Walleris that it makes sense and would be more authentic if the guy who co-writes the songs also records them and plays them live.

So I have some questions. Do you think Jon currently has Phil on the road, in addition to Shanks, because the fans reacted so positively to him and Jon knows that the response to Shanks would have been much more negative? And do you think this might be a transitional move to allow the fans to get used to seeing Shanks in the band (while Phil is still the "official" lead guitarist) and then after this tour, perhaps, he becomes the official lead guitarist, Phil goes back to the Drills, and Bon Jovi goes back to being a 5-piece band (well, plus Everett to cover backup vocals)? Or do you think both guitarists will stay and continue to trade off lead and rhythm responsibilities?
