Fair point....I just feel that if he let Phil in more on the creative process it might help to steer it in a more rocking direction. Probably just dreaming though!

No you're not wrong on that, involving Phil in the demoing stage I think would lead to at least a more riff heavy sound.

Found this on IG - appears was sent/given to the poster by Tommy Marolda:

Agree with the comments can hear him at the end (chorus) and possibly all of it but a lot of production going on.

I think this is a Tom Morolda project that Richie is guesting on. Tom has posted various stuff about Richie playing on his new record.

i think and hope Richie still has a couple of good tunes in him. i have spend many hours watching Richie play live and i can say apart from his voice and melodic approach there was a secret weapon in his arsenal, his mojo, his great rythmic right hand tehnique...
in Richie seems so natural and someone can easliy overlook it since richie and bj in general are not riff heavy songwriters.. his nice rythm is witnessed more clearly in his acoustic playing...love for sale for examlple...there are more complex time sigs there as well as in other songs...
many music fans and fellow jovi talkers often refer to Richies playing as fairly easy but the last years he is gone its obvious at least to me that phil/shanks can reach only an 80% of his quality in the bj songs. the musicality and the flow arent there .
dont know why i got technical again but there was another member some weeks back in here that stated that phil x is always playing the bj solos a head of time and loses the real feeling. i found that comment spot on...
having said that i like both phil and shanks on their own but in bj it is a coverband for me.

He plays them ahead of time to compensate for Jon's singing coming in too late in time :D

Good point, he hopes that by playing solo too early it will make Jon sing on time AFTER the solo :D

This was already discussed somewhere else. It's not part of Richie's album. It's Richie guesting on a track on Tom Marolda's new album
