Some fans have theorized that you haven't been as involved with the last few Bon Jovi records, in particular What About Now. If this is true, do you like the direction the band has headed? And if not, what direction would you take the band?
If there is a future for Bon Jovi, where would you like to take the band? Is there a specific sound you'd like to explore or would you feel comfortable rewriting It's My Life for the 11th time?
When We Weren't Born to Follow was released, fans were outraged by the lack of the "Sambora presence", so much so that you went back in the studio to record a solo for that song. Was it your decision, originally, not to include a solo?
You were excited about the release of Aftermath, and it was rumored that you were going to get to play a track from it on the What About Now tour. You only played one song on your short lived role on that tour and you played I'll Be There For You. What happened?
10 years ago, Bon Jovi sorted through their vault and released a box set. Do you have a vault of unreleased recorded material, and if so, roughly how many tracks and can fans ever expect to hear these songs?

These are awesome.
Other than that, I'd like to know what he thinks about Phil X, whether they have met, whether he called, whether he's given him any tips - that kind of stuff. Also - is it true that he offered his guitar collection for the tour but Phil X declined?
The other question is about his future projects. Richie has got a very good reputation amongst fans of guitar virtuosos. Has he ever considered joining someone like Joe Satriani/ Steve Vai on a G3 tour, especially given the fact that he had previously been involved on Steve Vai projects.
Third one is about the Deep Purple cover 'When a Blind Man Cries' that he did with Heaven and Earth. Even Deep Purple fans consider that one to be one of the best covers of a Deep Purple song by anyone yet he has never played it live. Any chance that could show up in the sets going further? [just reminding him really, maybe he pulls it off at some point]
