Didn't Jon said that percussion on that song was made with a drum machine? I remember reading, as he said too that on that song it was only he and Richie.

Just skip to 2:52! Who's the guitar player? … I'm pretty sure we won't see his face on the cover or his name in the credits
That's Richie...pretty evident when the camera switches angles at 3:19. Long hair and wearing a hat.

I'm pretty sure Tico sang backing on New Jersey too.

Yeah, that's what he said:

"I made this for the movie I can been seen in soon, 'Moonlight and Valentino', and it will suprise the fans. This really isn't a Bon Jovi song. You just hear me, Richie, and some electronic equipment. I play the keyboards in this song and did the singing live. It really was a gift for the producers of 'Moonlight and Valentino', recorded on a tape. A sort of 'thank you' for letting me play in the movie. And promptly the used it as a soundtrack. And now I put it onto this album too. It's funny really, originally only a few people would have heard this song. And now, all of a sudden, it's both movie-music and a real album-track. But I'm happy with it anyhow".

And though Jon hasn't said anything official, Hugh McDonald has.

If I'm not wrong Richie did the bass line on Keep te Faith (song).

You're wrong. Hugh came up with the line and played it. He has said so on his site.
