Phil X https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12iU...youtu.be&t=143

But as richiefan95 said above, to me the guitar player of my local bar sounds miles better than Phil X >_<

ANTIHERO: When you first joined Bon Jovi was it frustrating having to accurately replicate exactly another guitarists work?
Phil X: It wasn’t frustrating at all. I found the recipe early on which was respect the music, respect the band, respect the fans and of course Richie. You can accurately PLAY the licks and riffs of another guitar player but the trick is capturing the intended emotion of that player. There are moments in the show where you can stretch out a little bit but if you think you can stray from a perfect rendition of the Livin’ On A Prayer solo night after night, you’re way off. Solos such as that are simply expected.

Says It all really doesn't it...I like the Phil is so honest about it...it's a refreshing change...

I kinda wish that they'd at least let Phil play on the album, even if he didn't write for it. He plays with much more passion than Shanks. Fingerprints is the only song he's done with a good solo in the last few albums that I can think of.

JBJ has always been like that, he doesn’t like to talk too much about his decisions, HE is a mystery...
but somehow I remembered this that JBJ said: “Phil X is the consummate player, he could play the next night, wich was a miracle.”

Same for me! Loved it!

I like it. Besides being a nice sound, it reflects the way the whole Young Guns thing came about with them asking to use Wanted and Jon persuading them to let him write something new instead.

It would be a cool way to introduce Blaze of Glory in a concert - if Jon thought they could get by without performing WDOA.

(Now I want to get out my banjo and try it on that. The sound is kinda similar.) :)
