Phil X deserves it a lot. He is a very talented, humble, funny and worker guy. We can see he lives his rockstar dream and makes me feel very happy and proud of him. Replace Sambora is a mission that not anyone can do, but Phil is doing perfectly!!!
Love Phil X! He's such a rock star, he's worked his ass off and deserves his moment in the spotlight. Wembley stadium, just to stand on the same stage that Freddie Mercury did and all the other legends who graced it before had to be a huge moment for him. He's such a nice guy, and regular bro that it feels like we all made it with him, and that's rare. I still watch his old fretted Americana videos and he's still the same funny, happy, guitar flipping madman he's always been.
hate to be that person but freddie played at the old wembley stadium, this one was built on the site of that one and opened in 2007. same patch of land though i suppose lol.
Phil brought a whole new energy to Bon Jovi....everybody else in the band acts like they are exhausted after 30 mins....Phil is still going strong for the whole show....running all over the place....constantly walking the stage unless he is singing backup....dude is like the energizer bunny. He definitely believes in putting on a good show. This is a guy who paid his dues and finally made the big time. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
What I like about this guy is he loves, I mean LOVES what he's doing. Doing it such passion and and energy. He earned that. I've seen him first Fretted Americana videos. He was mind blowing. Whenever I felt miself down and under, I just searched for one of his videos and I was OK for the day. He almost always messed up the song during testing those vintage babies but when he's on stage, he's sharp. Precise. Plays as good as he can.
Phil X is an incredible guitar player and a mind blowing vocalist, btw......he has raised the bar once again and Bon Jovi sounds better than ever with him
Never was a Bon Jovi fan by any stretch of the imagination! Phil X makes it worthy of my attention. I like this dude. He seems genuine in everything he involves his self with. Loves what he dose, loves the music, seems to love life itself! Rock On little brother! Tear it up!!! Happy New Year, and a long and prosperous life!
Never been a fan of Jon Bon Jovi's vocals, but he had Richie, who has a great voice, and now Phil who is a fantastic vocalist....This guy is the real deal...great player, great singer plus he's funny and smart....
I don't know if Phil X reads the stuff but if he does you are the bomb guitar player and you did exactly what you set out to do you're awesome bro keep on rockin yeah
What a great guy. It's really cool to see all of his success after years of watching his frettedamericana videos. I have yet to encounter a Canadian I didn't love.
Anybody who doesn't like Phil X has no soul. They guy understands perfectly his role in the band and has an amazing "Rock N' Roll" attitude. Perfect fit for any band. And he shreds in a very non-technical yet FUN way.
I was lucky enough to meet Phil in the beginning of this exact tour before a big gig and have a chat about guitars and amps. Such a great, welcoming and inspiring person! Really admire him since Fretted Americana days
Extremely NICE, Interesting and delightful , "Insider's Tour" of The Tour. Thank You, Phil! You're such a kind, friendly, giving and talented person. Hope you guys can get back to work very soon. God Bless Brother. (Excellent Videography)
I was never really into Bon Jovi (it's good music, it's just not my thing), but Phil X has the BEST attitude all the time and it's so inspiring. Even if I didn't play guitar I'd be a huge Phil X fan.
Great guy. Comes across as a fun and energetic guy but has also worked very hard and is incredibly knowledgeable. I hesitate to use the word ‘talented’ as it implies that he hasn’t worked for his immense skill. Not a huge Bon Jovi fan but it’s great to see such a deserving guy have this success.
All l want is my share,,n Phil X finally got his share, couldn't happen to a talented down to earth rockin shredder, very cool, continue success fellow Axe Men
Phil has always been a guy you like, appreciate, respect, and admire. He is the genuine article. He has enormous talent, a no-nonsense work-ethic, and a personality only a complete asshole would not absolutely root for. I couldn't be happier for Phil X and his (not overnight) success. Bon Jovi was lucky to grab him and I'm sure Phil feels lucky too. Slay on, brother. Thank God, in this crazy world, we can log one more win for the Good Guys.
I was friendly with Phil back in high school days. Back then, while friendly with all, he was somewhat soft-spoken. Not shy, just laid back and smiley. Until he got his guitar in his hands, then , LOOK OUT! The rock star instantly shone! He was already soooooo good then, and we all just knew he'd make it big. He paid his dues, and it's so great to see him where he belongs -- on world tours, playing with one of the biggest rock stars ever. And, yeah, the saying 'couldn't happen to a nicer guy' is so true with Phil. He's the real deal -- the best of guys.
in '08 i took The Missus to HP Pavillion to see Bon Jovi. Daughtrey as the opener. Great. Apparently one of the last tours with Richie. Started looking for gear demos and found Phil on Guitar Americana. Great player and personality. Rock on, man !!! Lucky SOB ;)
It was 1982 Bud, I was there to, & got back stage with Van Halen. Actually had a Great chat with Michael Anthony, No relation, Unfortunately! lol Thx for Being Awesome Phil, We all miss you here in Mississauga & Its Great to see you doing well. God Bless you & Yours & Like I have to tell Ya.....KEEP ON ROCKIN Man! Cheers
Uli is such a cool guy, i'd love to see you demo your new sky guitar. I find it amazing how Uli hasn't slowed down he still a beast and plays all the same blistering licks he did in his early 20's, I saw his play in November here in the UK.
Gostaria muito de poder um dia ir no show do Bon Jovi pena que não tenho condições pois é muito caro, e já estou com 48 anos sou do Rock e amo o Bon Jovi o melhor de tds ❤🥰😍 melhor banda de tds os tempos.

I don't know Mr. X personally. But he comes across as a genuine and decent person. His recent success makes me happy.
Phil X seems to be one of the nicest guys in Rock such a powerhouse of happyness
I went to one of his clinics a few months ago, really nice guy. Great player.
Dudes been crushing it for over a decade

I've known Phil for a lot of years and he is one of the coolest , nicest guy's you'll ever meet and just a killer guitar player. You rock Phil !
He's also one of the most musical and richest people I know from Northern Mississauga!
Like Pete Thorn, a Canadian lad.
Canadian boy does good, congrats Phil, you have earned every bit of it.
Phil X....livin' the dream...well done, kid....well done.
Rick Fortine what he was in Triumph? So much for it being a power trio.
Rick Fortine no he just acts like a kid.
His live sound is insane. He seems like a really humble dude. Glad he is out there living his dream!
Go Phil! I've enjoyed watching his guitar demos for years and it's so great to see him on a big stage.

One of the hardest working musicians in the industry. Paid his dues and time will prove he is one of the greats!
Love him, love him, love him and appreciate how gifted Phil is... Bon Jovi needed him a lot!!!
phil you're just amazing... what a wonderful optimistic persona and brilliant guitar player
I like to live vicariously through Phil..Always a positive, rock & roll maniac!
Good to see ya living the life and loving it. I'm 65 and truly do enjoy your playing

Phil X is my favorite modern guitarist by far; I love his technique and energy.

A di si ih gledala sa philom?kod nas su bili dok je još Ritchie svirao. Negdje u Austriji, pretpostavljam. Pozdrav s mora :)
@@martinheidl1950 dva koncerta u Becu ..prosla i ova turneja
Phil X has more energy than he knows what to do with. Brilliant musician.
Phil might just be the nicest guy in rock and roll...and one of the best players EVER.
Amazing talent and one hell of a nice guy
What a great guy. It's really cool to see all of his success after years of watching his frettedamericana videos. I have yet to encounter a Canadian I didn't love.
The best when he was 17! still the best now! I was there!!!
“When you work hard you achive anything” … great PHIL….SACRED TRUE
La mejor banda del World...
Phil X give some fresh air ! Always smiling , happy ! And what a Guitarist ! Wow !
Phil you are perfect for this roll...Keep Rockin!!!
I didn't know he was such a complete guitarist. From Tone to phrasing and precision he nails it
Amazing all those years demoing Guitars for Fretted America then he gets a really big gig as Bon Jovi’s guitarist. And at this age. It’s amazing.
He’s genuinely funny. Love watching him demo guitars on UA-cam for Fretted Americana. He seems like a genuinely nice guy too.

Phil is an awesome player who is cool.
That its a massive production to ship around the world. Hats off to Jon for spending big money to bring the fans a big show.
Inspiring to see someone living their dream and enjoying it! Very cool! A fun video to watch!
such an amazing player with so much energy
Phil is proof of hard work and positivity paying off. You treat people with respect and it’ll come back around to you.
Depends on who is the other person. Some people take you for granted if you treat them with respect. In return, they give you shit.
Great video showcasing Phil X, well done Carl👍👍
Phil X is a firecracker!
I was never really into Bon Jovi (it's good music, it's just not my thing), but Phil X has the BEST attitude all the time and it's so inspiring. Even if I didn't play guitar I'd be a huge Phil X fan.
He is very zen about everything, without straight up saying it. Like it!

dude has become a legend in his own time.

Jon maybe incomplete without Richie but I glad Phil gave Jon another hope and passion ,respect
Thanks for posting this Carl! Thanks for taking the photos of Phil and I in Nottingham this year too!!! Got it as my UA-cam profile picture!
So crazy from watching Phil doing his guitar reviews to touring with Bon Jovi. What a stellar story that is.
Phil X keeping it real as always very enjoyable
Phil X is a ROCK STAR!!!!
So cool. Proof that with ALLOT hard work and a little luck a guy can make it to the big time.

Phil x fantástico show de músico instrumental 10.
Back in the day I used to watch his youtube-channel. Then he joined BJ, good for him. Cool guy, he's such a real life Wayne's World character 😎
Love the arrows from the dressing room to the stage to avoid the “Spinal Tap” getting lost moment 😂
Killer guitar player, sick technique and can sing and play anything, he's a total beast.
Love his rendition of highway star.👍🎸
they picked the right guy
I didn't realize I have seen you live here in San Diego on this tour at SDSU ... awesome

Great vid Carl ! Thanks for this.
Phil is a monstrous player, with great communication with the crowd and a fantastic stage presence. I believe he outstaged Jon.
LOVE! To see Phil, and that old dude from Truth surg (look it up) do a project! He is a voice actor and another rock and roll phenom!
Uli is such a cool guy, i'd love to see you demo your new sky guitar. I find it amazing how Uli hasn't slowed down he still a beast and plays all the same blistering licks he did in his early 20's, I saw his play in November here in the UK.

Phil X is awesome
Hard to believe that Phil is 53 now.. Seems like very cool guy :)
The cool 50's! I have 3 years on him. He's a baby.😁
Phil always looks like hes living his dream and he knows it. I love that about him.
