Bon Jovi's MTV Disaster

From PerezHilton.com

Bon Jovi was supposed to jump start the return of Unplugged to MTV, but their taping of the show on Tuesday was a complete and utter disaster, multiple sources confirm exclusively to PerezHilton.com.

Bon Jovi recorded their Unplugged - which will air cross-platform on MTV, VH1 and CMT - in Brooklyn on Tuesday night for about 400 fans or so and Richie Sambora was blitzed the whole time.

"They had a whole bunch of musicians on stage for most of the night to cover his mistakes on the guitar and would turn his mic off so he couldn't be off key," a spywitness tells us.

Seems Denise Richards' ex-boyfriend was partying too hard before the show!

Towards the end of the show, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie were on stage alone and Jon goes on to tell the story about how they started acoustically at the MTV VMAs once and.... "This is how Unplugged started...."

A shocked source reveals, "As Wanted Dead or Alive started, Richie couldn't play along! During the song Jon stops and makes Richie start again and after the second take was finished the show was supposed to be over but Jon had the whole band come on stage to re-record the song a third time so Richie couldn't mess it up! Jon was clearly upset, but kept it together and handled it like a true pro!"

The folks at MTV will have fun editing this one!

Oh no, NOT again. Look around dude, there already 4 post about that article

According to BS from those that were there, this was not the case at all, and that site is apparently less than reputable to say the least. Although Richie had vocal problems apparently he wasnt drunk.

utter shite. my four year old brother talks more sense/legitimacy than that clown.

Wouldn't be shocking though. It is kind of obvious from the way Richie has been looking this past year that he has been hitting the bottle a wee bit much. The man has seriously aged since his divorce.

Just posting what I saw.

I think Richie may have been drinking. With everything that's gone on with him lately, I'm sure he would be depressed enough to.

Yeah, but I think the drinking finally caught up with him. I am going to speculate that his "problem" started long before Heather and his dad and has just gotten worse.

oh dear

i just hope its not true he's such a master of the guitar i dont think theyd need to have people on hand to cover his mistakes

Not good
