Well.. Phil played almost nothing on THINFS and nothing on We Don't Run from BB but he played a lot of Shanks' solos live. So I'd expect him to take over some from 2020. It seems that the dynamics shift a bit withing the band. We thought that having Phil during the recording process will result in him being all over the songs and bringing his enerhy there. Surprisingly the result is that he is less of a lead guitarist live.
He will still be kept because he has the skill to play Richie's old solos when Shanks is probably not. He is decent on Bad Name solo and ITA was tortured that much that now it's healing to listen to Shanks playing it :D
It's all very interesting when you consider that Phil's style is different from Richie's but gets to play his solos because he has the skill.
On the other hand Shanks' style is a bit closer to Richie's but he doesn't have the skill to play it live. So he plays only the newer ones and not all that he recorded.
I still struggle to understand who the members are. There is a recording line-up, now official line-up, live line-up, which is maybe becoming the recording one slowly. Then sometimes the official, sametimes the live one is in the videos. Where are the times of five unstoppable guys on stage? :D
