Playing on albums and Playing live are two different animals due to publishing... Once upon a time ago, Huge played on albums and Alec played live... Today Shanks plays on Albums and Phil plays live (although Shanks begged Jon to join this current tour, I don't think it supposed to be that way). Phil is adaptable and can really learn to play anything so he doesn't need him in the studio when his producer can play the parts... Phil's main purpose is to play on all the stuff pre Shanks... All those 80 and 90 hit songs, when solos were meaningful, are his golden ticket...

Like I previously stated, this is Phil's gig for a very long time... I seriously doubt Jon will run the risk of him walking out at his own free will... So no Phil, you're not an official member but yes, you're in this band for life... kind of a tough question to answer...

Slightly off topic but...
One interesting thing that Bobby said one time that I never took too serious but now looking back, I wonder...

It was during the WAN tour (or BWC or whatever that thing was called lol).. but I saw him play at some local gig in NJ with his solo band and he was just rambling on to the audience as he usually does with his gibberish but he's like 'Yeah, I have to go tour with Bon Jovi next week' (very unenthusiastic about it) and then continued to repeat 'Bon Jovi Jail'... I never put a thought into it but for starters, he didn't seem super excited about it but second, he was most likely was contracted to go and that's why he called it 'Bon Jovi Jail'

Phil X photo appears on July month in the calendars when used to be Richie because his birthday... that makes you Richie? I don’t think so...
and about Bobby, “Bon Jovi Jail” jajajajajaj
That sounded to me like: I want your soul, can you sign here? under the $$$$
JBJ is always saying about the NJ tour thing: “We won't let ourselves get in that position again.”
But it seems Richie and Bobby and maybe all of them wanted that “time to stop for a break”

I don't believe him, he doesn't strike me as a guy who has anything else to do besides ridding on Jon's coattails.

Supposedly he is JBJ's security, President of the Fan Club, designer of some store merchandise and even clothes for JBJ.
Since last year, Runaway Tours is part of the On Location Experiences (official source for VIP experiences at marquee NFL events - including the Super Bowl, Pro Bowl, International Series, NFL Draft and more). He also has said before that Runaway Tours merged with a huge organization.
And well there are the cruises, too.
Maybe he was talking about that, who knows?
