There are probably more talented musos out there but with no smarts or business sense. Or just low self esteem. I know I get depressed every day which puts a huge barrier in trying to practise . Rock industry full of narcissists

I have known Phil for 40 years, still a great,down to earth guy. And I visited him at his moms while he was learning the Bon Jovi dvd’s!!!! Great interview!!!!!

You heard it here! Ive always said it this way. He isn't replacing Richie as a fill out do his entire own thing guy. But he isn't simply filling in for Sambora either. In conclusion: He's not a fill in. He's not a fill out. He's the Phil X! X marks the spot 😉

Hello it's nobody here, I toured for long and our tactic was that we always wanted the 'opening spot' (for several reasons), so we could set up the bar, and then could enjoy the following shows (headlining bands didn't liked it!). Then put it up a notch (with an H.C.band!), we would play first and play a second time last, when everyone is done!

One of my favorite episodes Kenny! It couldn't get much better, well if he was a drummer but other than that, this is gold plated information! Love you guys!

@Philx1111 is THE GUY. I’ve followed him since the Fretted Americana days. A buddy of mine and I caught Phil when he was coming through Cleveland and he was 100% as advertised. He kicked complete ass. He was super energized. His guitar tone was 10/10 (even though it was DI). It was a smaller band but I knew Phil was coming into town with them so I commented on his Insta post saying so. No big deal. But the best part? Phil came over, said hello to me, and asked me about my gigs. I don’t get star struck at all but Phil X is an exception 💯 He’s what dreams are made of!

Got a message from the owner of the magazine and he said holy shit dude. Phil X read the write up already and he wanted to pass on his kudos. I got them goosebumps.

Great interview Kenny! I'm happy for you Phil. You're fueled by passion and live with gratitude.You deserve everything that's coming to you my Canadian bro. Tell "Elvis" that "Rico Suave" (the name he anointed me, lol) says "Vat's Up Baby". He'll know that that means, lol. Tell him to get in touch with his long lost brother when he's in LA. Such a small world too because I went to Beverly High like John (Shanks) did and we know a lot of the same people. And Kenny, if you remember I worked on Aldo Nova's record at Le Studio (R.I.P.) in Morin Heights, Quebec too that Jon Co-Produced and we all stayed in that house, Randy (Jackson) on bass. I remember when Phil joined Aldo's band and Phil didn't you come over to Jon's house in Malibu in 1990 with Aldo? I thought I remember meeting you then. Anyway, VERY small world. Rock on everyone!!! 🤘

Where the content of the interview is concerned, holy shit he's got me hyped to hear the new Bon Jovi record! It sounds like he's so happy to have contributed more to the new material than the previous ones! I've really enjoyed 2020 and THINFS, but this has got me excited to hear Phil on the new album more than ever! This has also got me feeling super confident that even if Richie does end up rejoining for a 40th anniversary reunion tour, that Phil will stick around! It would suck to lose his stage presence after having him there for the last decade! Super excited to get the announcement he seemed to indicate at the end about a tour!
