Bon Jovi On How Phil X Helped Shape The Band After Richie Sambora | Exclusive Interview [omepelSwAXn]

How did Bon Jovi move forward after Richie Sambora?

In Part 2 of my exclusive interview, Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan and Tico Torres reveal how Phil X became an essential part of the band, why they had complete confidence in him from the start, and the moment Jon realised Phil had truly found his own identity within Bon Jovi.

We also dive into the stories behind Living Proof, Waves and Legendary, why songwriting has become Jon's greatest passion, how Bon Jovi approach every new album, and why the band still feel the pressure to make every record a great one.

You'll also hear Bon Jovi reflect on growing older, what's still left on the band's bucket list after more than 40 years together, and the one thing Jon says they will never do: compromise the band's legacy.

This interview was filmed two years go, around the release of Forever, before Bon Jovi's return to the stage, making it an interesting look back at a pivotal moment for the band.
