On tour WITH Bon Jovi

To be honest, that page has been with that WITH for a while
but IF we assume that Phil X himself wrote WITH again on that recent instagram post...
well, I don't know what to say... lol

maybe, it's just this? https://philx.tv/tour-dates/

I'm not sure they even got that. I just remember an interview with Phil (and the band, apparently) when he was asked if he was an official member now and Phil said something like, "well, Jon's nodding, so I guess that would be a yes." That seemed like such an impulsive thing, not to mention the informal way that Phil was notified of his "official" status. And I don't think I've heard anything yet about Hugh being an official member.

You guys are looking way too into it... Haven't you learned anything from the Alec and Huge thing?

Richie isn't coming back and Phil is the man as long as he takes Jon's shit and doesn't do him dirty.

Phil might show up in a video or on a tee-shirt but the current official members of Bon Jovi are Jon, Tico, Dave...

Phil and Huge are probably contracted for life with some very specific clauses... and probably the reason why he doesn't know how to answer the 'are you in Bon Jovi?' question.

The more Phil becomes seasoned with each tour, the more value he holds towards Jon... Even five years from now, two albums later, the last thing Jon will want is to break in a new guitar player so I'm sure Phil is more than just some hired gun from tour to tour... A 55 year old JBJ can afford a ten year contract with Phil...

Two albums that Phil barely played on though! Until Jon lets Phil take the reigns in the studio and play on a whole record, then the talk of Phil being a full on member is just rubbish. He really needs to let Phil loose in the studio...

Yup. We'd be looking too much into it if there was no mention of them being official members. The fact that they made a big deal about it means it's up for speculation and it feels very smoke and mirrors. If Phil ain't playing on the entire next album, to me it's just lip service.

Then, you’re basically saying Phil X is a touring musician
Phil X said he would like to write songs with JBJ: https://twitter.com/TheRealPhilX/sta...58227143614464
so by easy discard we can say that JBJ does not allow it (besides Phil X has said something about it in interviews)
other thing we know is the 4 walls of The House represent the members of the band: JBJ, DB, TT and RS
I wonder... what would be the name of the next record???

BTW Recent quote of JBJ: “There are a lot of men out there who have not embraced the real them... So, yes, I’ll embrace the grey hair - but I won’t become fat Elvis.”
Zzzz...

We don't know if he'd allow it because it hasn't hit that point. Time will tell what his role in the band is and the next cycle will show how much of an official member he is. Right now it feels like he's one step above Bobby, one level below Richie role wise.

Big Dog Bobby? Captain Crash Richie?
nah I disagree...

Why's that? Bobby didn't appear in the videos, appeared sporadically on the music but was more used live. Phil is one step above by being on the merch, photos and music videos but with not much creative pull outside his solos and appears on 1/4 of the new album. That feels one step above to me and one step below the whole shebang of having any creative control.
