People gotta understand Phil is a fan just like all of us! Sambora is a legend and Phil did a great job palying his music!

Stop the Ritchie and Phil comparisons. It’s not fair to Phil. He’s just playing Ritchies music. Both are great guitarists. Leave it at that.

Definitely Phil X nailed them but please don’t forget that Richie composed those solos, simply genius

Phil X looks like those licks mean something to him when he's playing them! Sign of a seasoned musician in my opinion 👍.

Richie will always come out on top because he created those solos. Phil X is excellent in his own rights too.

2 different guitarists with their own different style. No need to compare they're really freakin' good!

Son muy buenos los dos guitarristas. Richie se ganó el amor del público, fueron muchos años en la banda, y él es el alma de Bon jovi.

Richie Sambora foi parceiro de composição do Bon Jovi por várias décadas, eram carne e unha,saiu da banda e deixou uma lacuna, o cara tinha um carisma impressionante,é difícil vê um Show da banda sem o Richie Sambora...Ñ tem como compará, cada um é cada um(...)

the problem is tha phil x is exelent but guys ..Richie invented those solos so phil is just using them in his own style

Sorry but that songs will never sound the same without Richie. He wrote those solos! Phil X, excellent musician, but not a fair comparative I think.

It’s not just that Richie is the best. But also his voice. Without Richie there’s no Bon Jovi!

No one will ever take Richies place... ever.. no one even comes close.. never will be the same without him.

Always live in london 95, cant beat that one

Ritchie's underrated as singer, composer and player.

I like both of them. But i love how Richie guitar tone feels more heavy and "crunchy" than Phil. Richie really give Rock Ballads vibes.

Sambora é simplesmente o melhor de todos, inspiração!

I just want to say this. Always Live in London 95.

Tico Torres is the best ... He shines with the guitar solos

I just stumbled upon this. I grew up on Bon Jovi, and all the 80's bands. I have to say that it's a shame Richie isn't in the band anymore. He's such an amazing not only guitarist, but songwriter and singer. It takes a talented guitarist to fill his shoes so props to Phil there...he does sound great. I wont be seeing the band without Richie though. Its just not the same. It wasnt just his playing, its his singing and stage presence as well.

Forever Sambora 🎸💥💥🔥🔥😍

Phil is good but Richie is legend

No one is better. Sambora is great and Phil is great also. Period!!!

I saw Phil play on the stage in person in 2015 at seoul tour. He was fantastic. Always was unexpected encore but his playing makes me cry. But Richie is SYMBOL of BonJovi. He can’t be measured by his playing. There was something great inside him with BonJovi.

Richie es uno de los mejores guitarristas que hay .no se puede comparar.bon jovi no es lo mismo sin Richie.por otro lado es genial ver a Tico demostrando que es gran baterista y que toca con una energia envidiable a pesar de los años y David bryan no se queda atras...

Richie's simply much more bluesy. That's the Bon Jovi we're all used to

The first thing I am worried about is that Jon is loosing his voice (

What's best in this video was Jon's appreciation to Richie's and Phil's talent, the way he closed his eyes and clapped his hands were amazing as if he's saying, " proud of you boy, so proud of you."

Richie Sambora simplemente fenomenal ..un maestro..un verdadero guitar Hero..inkomparable!!!!☠️🎸☠️👏👏👏👏

Watch Phil's solo on 2019 show at Wembley. It's amazing in my opinion. And I agree with almost everyone, Phil X is excellent and is keeping a high quality to the band, but each one has his own style and Richie created those solos.

Os dois são ótimos, o diferencial entre Richie e Phill é somente a essência que Richie trouxe a banda por tanto tempo, não que seja melhor ou pior, os dois estão de parabéns.

Richie was not only the guitarist. He was the soul mate of Jon. They were living together. They knew the brotherhood. Phil is an amazing guitarist. No one can replace Richie. Phil can replace the guitarist. He is doing this very well

Não tem como comparar, pois Richie Sambora, é o criador dos solos. Com sua saída a banda perdeu não só um inigualável guitarrista, mas também uma voz incrível que fazia duetos com John Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi não é mais a mesma banda.

Nothing but Respect for these two. No comparison, they are just great to listen to. I 🤘😊🤘

Phil is an incredible guitarist, I think he does a great job.

You guys do know that Phil is a prolific session guitar player right? He doesn’t need to improve, he is just not Richie. Check out his discography. You’ve heard his play on songs from Tommy Lee to Daughtry. Richie wrote some great music. No need to compare the two, just enjoy.

Impossível comparar o criador com quem copiou.

Both wonderful! Great players putting feeling into every note!

Video popped up while I left KZfaq running and I’m not a huge fan, but I listened and have to say while the guitarists are different, I prefer Phil X. He floats across the fretboard in a more fluid fashion. This is purely me listening to the technicality in the way they phrase the solos in THIS video. If you are a big fan of a particular band line up, you’ll always want the originals and Richie has all the emotional history that goes with writing with the band. But man can Phil X play and sound fluid while looking so relaxed and simply FUN with it. That’s his style. The band is lucky to have Phil X as a more than worthy addition to their tours.

Richie Sambora é puro sentimento, puro feeling, pura técnica.... não com como compara-lo, é o melhor!

I can play both solos pretty much note for note but it's the emotion that Sambora puts into his playing that can't be matched, plus Sambora was the life and soul of Bon Jovi. Jon looks lost on stage without him

Não tem como comparar um músico ao outro, cada um tem sua onda/seu stilo, nesse nível musical que estão não tem um melhor e sim cada um fazendo o seu som. Parabéns aos dois, grandes músicos, o ouvido agradece!

Mr .Sambora é incomparável, muito mais completo e sem falar q seus back vocals são perfeitos!!

The difference here is Richie wrote the "book" ...Phil is just reading it!

No veo la hora de ver tocar a Richie & Phil juntos en el escenario para ver magia sobre el stage

Richie Sambora criou todos os solos e deu mais vida as musicas do Bon Jovi, inclusive cantando!! O seu estilo foi fundamental para o sucesso da banda!! O guitarrista atual é apenas um repetidor!!! Sem comparação!!

Two are them are freaking amazing there unique in there own way.........

They are both GREAT!!!!!!!!!!❤️🎸🔥

Richie is a Legend, nobody can change or beat that, never. Without Sambo and Alec it's never gonna be the same...

Richie all the way, no doubt about it. It’s his music, without him we wouldn’t have those songs, or have enjoyed them for decades in various forms and moods.

Não tem nem comparação, Richie sambora é o melhor 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Grazie per questo bellissimo video. Richie = leggenda

They both an artist and a legend in their own ways!

Richie... he’s simply the best!!!🎸👏🏻🤘🏻

Richie era a alma da banda. Tanto que eu só vejo os vídeos da banda, quando ele fazia parte. I love Richie

Unless you have footage of Ritchie playing one of Phils original solos theres nothing to compare.. Phil definitely did a phenomenal job recreating the feel while still putting his own stamp on them!

Richie em Londres 1995! Melhor solo de always!

Richie is always the best. I played the guitar because of him, and I knew how great he was.

Phil é um ótimo guitarrista, mas o Richie é e sempre será único. Me tornei fan do Bon Jovi em 2000 aos 12 anos, não pelo vozeirão do Jon Bon Jovi, mas sim pela mágica que o Richie fazia com a guitarra. Aprendi a tocar guitarra aos 9 anos, mas foi vendo esse mago chamado Richie Sambora que selei minha paixão pelo instrumento.

Aqui não se está em jogo ou não se discute a qualidade técnica, mas como se poderia ou não alcançar a ALMA que Richie Sambora !!!👊🏻👏🏻🙏😍

Richie Sambora is freaking magic!!!

Phill X toca muito, mas o Sambora é incomparável!

Richie's better, and i feel bad that he doesn't have room for this in his life for this anymore. Phil's a fan tho, and it fills my heart fills with joy when i hear Phil play. If you want proof that Phil is a RIchie fan, watch a couple specific moments in this video. When Richie is improvising he plays a lick at 1.53, that makes Jon clap for him. When Jon claps for Phil you can actually see Phil remember the Cleveland video and reach for THE SAME LICK in his improvised second solo. I am sure it was a nod to the same video, because the lick doesn't "really" fit with what he was doing until he saw Jon clap. Phil's choice in the middle of his solo was a nod to Richie. Tico and Jon saw it, and Phil knew it, and you can see Tico and Jon smile at it, cause they knew it too. That's a fan. Like you and me.

Simply put, Richie was and still is a super star and he's a legend. All that and still underrated! I'm not even really a Bon Jovi fan. Playing great solos does take talent but writing great music is quite a different thing. Richie will always be the greatest Bon Jovi guitarist regardless to whom they put on stage. Best wishes to both him and Phil.

El carisma de Richie + talento❤

Richie For Ever💖

Dois grandes profissionais na guitarra, a diferença que estamos já acostumado com o Richie

Richie Sambora is the composer of both solos and interprets ... I think there is nothing that compares ... Greetings from Argentina ...

Hearing Phil X at Wembley this year play Always solo was incredible. I love Sambora but Phil X has exceptional talent too.

Sambora é Sambora, incomparável... Bon jovi com Sambora é muito melhor.

Richie is irreplaceable

La guitarra de Richie es Bon Jovi. Sólo escuchas ese estilo y te da cuenta de que grupo es la canción.

Richie ontem, hj, amanhã e p sempre😢🙏🏻🎩🎸

Povo esquisito!!! Ambos tocam demais!!!!! Nível altíssimo!!!!

Both are just stunning, richie invented those solos but Phil X is amazing too, there should be no comparison, everyone is playing on his own way

All i can say is they are both great and they have different styles and techniques,,hands down to both these guys🙌 and lets all accept that 😊😊

Richie is a legend, he is fantastic. I love PhilX but cannot be compare with Richie.

Sambora is the best. Those aren’t the best solo performance, but he’s still the best.

Pegadas diferentes...2 bons guitarristas. Mas pra meu gosto,Sambora,baita feeling ! Indiscutivelmente !

There's no need of comparison they both are beautiful guitarist we love Richie and Phil as well . Richie has a great history . He is an icon for many guitarists.

Ritchie Sambora, no solo era guitarra, tambien hacia segunda voz a Bon Jovi, ese era un plus muy adicional, Ritchie maestro

Richie toca com o coração e alma !

ambos tocan excelente,pero Richie toca con el corazón y los dedos en la guitarra es una fusión excelente,es una buena armonía,es algo fuera de este mundo asi d simple

Awesome guys Thankyou for the music

Here is what I know...I am a guitarist...these guys both kick my ass 24/7/365. The only thing I can do is applaud them both and practice to be, hopefully, as good as them one day.

Cuando vi a mi papá tocar la guitarra le pedí que me enseñara... nunca toque como el... Lo mismo le pasa a este gran guitarrista que no se el nombre.. richie es único y creador de esos solos que se pueden cantar...

RICHIE IS GOD OF MUSIC.-

Sos un capo!!y richy un genio con su vos !me encanta la humilda de esta banda!!!los amooo

Love this song and each solo from both, just a fan :).

Eu gosto muito do Phil, mais o gênio das criações é Richie !

For me Jovi lost it's heart when Richie left... I doubt I will see Bon Jovi again live but saying that Phil X is an excellent guitar player....

Sambora e sentimento solo bem definido harmônico que doi com suas pentatonicas pra min melhor guitar de todos tempos

Richie from Jersey, Phil from Canada It's obvious. Jersey trumps canucks. Richie is an amazing guitarist.

WHY IS RICHIE SO UNDERRATED.

Sem comentários, ambos excelentes

😢❤️... Always.. I see Jon trying and then see the pain on his face when the voice isnt what it used to be.. But you are still the one and only Jon Bon Jovi and we love you.. ❤️.. I know he doesnt see this, but who cares..

No hay comparación.... Un tipo que se pasea magistralmente en lo que invento.. Y uno que hace un buen cover...

BON JOVI É SHOW E TEM UMA ENERGIA FANTÁSTICA, MAS SEUS MÚSICOS SÃO RECONHECIDOS NO MUNDO TODO BONS DEMAIS AMO A MUSICA INSTRUMENTAL .

Like the late, great, i am back again "Eddie Wilson" said "you gotta let the music breath, kid". Richie had more breath and feeling, but Phil did a great job! Gonna wait while half of you look up Eddie Wilson...

Wow omg ❤💕🤩

I miss Richie he’s the best and Phil x had to step in and learn these songs we saw a few concerts with Phil x he was and is an amazing guitarist! 🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️
