Richie Sambora&Phil X: Always, I'll be there for you: solos comparison (Bon Jovi) 

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

There is no comparison. There will always only be ONE RICHIE!!!!!!!

Always live in london 95, cant beat that one

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(...)

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

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

Sambora é simplesmente o melhor de todos, inspiração!

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

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

Ritchie's underrated as singer, composer and player.

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

Video popped up while I left RU-vid 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.

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.

Phil is good but Richie is legend

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.

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...

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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!!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Forever Sambora 🎸💥💥🔥🔥😍

Both wonderful! Great players putting feeling into every note!

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

Grazie per questo bellissimo video. Richie = leggenda

They are both GREAT!!!!!!!!!!❤️🎸🔥

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

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!!!!☠️🎸☠️👏👏👏👏

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

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

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

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

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

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

La magia la es Richie el los invento y siempre les pasa me el mismo sentimiento.

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.

Impossível comparar o criador com quem copiou.

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

El carisma de Richie + talento❤

Awesome guys Thankyou for the music

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

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.

Richie em Londres 1995! Melhor solo de always!

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

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

Phill X toca muito, mas o Sambora é incomparável!

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

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

Que lindo!!!!!! Músico de verdade e outro nível

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 !!!👊🏻👏🏻🙏😍

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

Richie Sambora is freaking magic!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

Richie For Ever💖

One great guitarist and one totally underrated and extraordinary - and that’s Ritchie. He has a unique feel where the solos meld into the song and become one. It almost sounds like he’s not using a pick, but his fingers. So smooth, bluesy and soulful. Phil is great, but Ritchie has that “feel” that puts him in the same league as the greats! I consider him to be at LEAST on the top 50 all time best guitarist list.

A guitarra desses caras falam, que lindo!!!💚💙

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

Sem comentários, ambos excelentes

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.

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

Richie toca com o coração e alma !

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.

Com todo respeito não há comparação na minha humilde opinião. Phil é fantástico, mas a guitarra do Richie tem alma, ela canta pra gente quando ele toca de um jeito único e mágico, que arrepia, emociona, inexplicável! E a conexão dele com Jon, sem palavras! Richie Sambora pra sempre no meu ❤️!

Maravilhosos 😍🇧🇷❤️

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 😊😊

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

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

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

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

Sambora's solos simply consist of soul and passion. you can hear and feel it. 😍

Na minha opniao o solo mais lindo que ja foi feito ate hj nessa musica Foi em 1995 em london O richie sambora nunca mais repetiu daquela mesma forma

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

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! 🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️

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

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

amoooooo, melhor banda de todos os tempos

Nem se compara né! Sambora é foda demais!

Que show de guitarra.. Amo Richie mas, Phil foi bom demais também.

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...

both great n skillful, touching

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.
