And the last word from the "phil-in" himself:
TheRealPhilX Wow!!! Thank you so much for this. Kinda like 3 weeks flashing before my eyes.
TheRealPhilX Phil XWOW! I'm home & already reminiscing over the experience. The entire BJ troop was AMAZING & the fans are INCREDIBLE! & St. Louis KICKED ASS!!
He really is one cool dude.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine anyone else walking the fine line with the die hards like he did... and also being a worthy subsitute for one of the best guitarists of all time. I am pretty sure he won the respect and praise of even the most loyal Sambora fan. I should know, I am one.
the 'diehards' are a joke, so out of touch with reality that any sensible-minded guitarist would have dismissed them and taken the gig.
ReplyDeleteAny guitarist with any sense would have... you are right. Who would turn down that opportunity? Anyone else would have probably done things his/her way and said F off if you don't like it.
ReplyDeleteBut Phil handled the situation very delicately and came out being everyone's hero.
