You may be right. I was wrong in thinking the Coke comment was was in 2013 and that it was only time he said something like that. It was actually in Feb 2014; but there was a similar comment in May of 2013 when he said Jon wanted to see if he could sell out stadiums by himself, but people had paid to see Bon Jovi and they weren't getting "the whole deal."
I also remember there was one interview where the guy asked him what he thought about Phil-X as his replacement and he said something like Phil's a good guitarist; but he's not the original, or he didn't write those songs, or something like that. Some people took that as a put-down; but I think it was just an awkward question. I'm not sure how else he could have answered it. And I know when he was interviewed about the RRHOF, he said "both Shanks and Phil-X are great guitarists, in their own right."
Unless you've heard him say something more recently, I'm still at a loss to see how 2 or 3 comments translates to he "keeps on" talking about the band being an imitation. But it's not that big a deal. That phrase just struck me as odd and I was curious.
