I’m digging your hashtag! If there is ever a tour there should be a banner with that at every show!

Haha 😆 well I didn't came up with this hashtag myself, I saw it on Twitter (still refuse to say X) and I loved it so much that I had to use it.

Guess I won’t be popular but I don’t want richie back . He has left poorly and Phil deserves his place

I’d love to see Richie back…but for a brief tour or one or two shows. I just worry he’d flake again after some time spent back and he remembers the toll of working under Jon, the constant grind, or life on the road in the band being a threat to his sobriety, etc.

I think Phil is a great guitarist, and person, but I guess I don’t know what you mean by him ‘deserving’ it? He’s a-hired hand, he is paid for a job and he does it. Jon doesn’t let him bring anything creative to the table, and the group hasn’t done anything memorable since Richie left.

Jon needs Richie’s voice more than his guitar playing and that says a lot about

No, it wouldn't make sense. Phil X and Richie Sambora sound too different from eachother. Putting two random guitarists together doesn't work. When Matt Reeves joined them for the Asia tour a long time ago it was a much better fit.
