i prefer a bad sambora from someone hired like phill, even if the guy looks ok, and dont tell me richie tico and david are also hired because its not the same...
ps.i was thinking the other day...its obvious that richie doesnt really practise anymore, thats why he is sloppy and his playing has deteriorate seriously...i noticed though that both richies and jons love for music and especially songwriting is there...which is remarkable after 30 years of album after album, tour after tour, and so many promotion cycles...
