[@alexboon9035]

I knew Phil in high school. EVERYone loved the guy for the exact same reason. Just a great guy, and unchanged by success.

[@asbjrnl.srensen3781]

So glad Phil X is onboard. Was strange se him in 2013, but getting used to him and he has now a legendary performes fra wembley in 2019 when he outro "always"..great to see.

[@hawtmess66]

Still love him 4 yrs later

[@martinakelly]

I was so sad when Richie left...But exactly, Phil X appeared like a white knight and helped keep it rolling. I'll be forever thankful to him... I'm so glad he's on board.

Jon Bon Jovi, you were so blessed to find Phil X. You could never have found a better guitarist for your group. Talent, enthusiasm plus more importantly he really loves playing with you too.

[@thomascope4248]

No, he was blessed to have Richie.

[@guitarman7842]

They are all humble guys. Even they have hundreds of millions of dollars. 😊 My favourite band of all time. One of the best songwriter in the world. 🎸 🎶 So glad Phil X joined the band. He is awesome 🎸 coolest guy ever.

Phil's catalog of songs is vast and extensive. He can rock with the best of them . You have to be top shelf to get a call from an established artist with hits /fans/ etc . Bon jovi could have auditioned 100s of players . They called Phil .

"... Are out there on the stage. And then, of course, Phil filled in the first time when Richie went to rehab and he came the second time when, ya know, he fell off the cliff. So, Phil has been there, like a white knight, he kept the machine rolling. And it's so wonderful for me to see the joy in Phil's eyes because he's like I can't believe I'm up here. So, even if we ever get tired or jaded with it, he's like the first guy in the stadium in the morning and the last guy to wanna leave and he hates days off and ya know, he's so funny. He was in the gym this morning, he came over to me and said I hate days off. It's like I hate you (... didn't get the next part). Ya know, it's so wonderful to feel that energy, ya know, it's a real, it's a joy, it's a treat to be around that kind of energy. It's cool. So, ya know, Phil's a joy to be around too."

Phil X is just a Substitute… nothing more... nothing less... I stopped listening to Bon Jovi albums after Richie Left... and I've been a fan since 1984

[@goodearssrock6902]

peter lister shut your mouth!

[@BlackSkull289]

peter lister he is more than a sub...I’m a huge Richie fan,Couldn’t believe it when he left...Saw BJ first time last year without Richie....My first with Phil X...All I can say is that guy has earned his stripes..yeah he don’t sing like Richie but he is rightfully up there and deserves to be up there...As for John Shanks..Now that’s a different story 🤣
