Don't know if it's been posted here before, but I stumbled upon a new interview that Richie has done with the German magazine "Gitarre & Bass":

Basically he says the following concerning a common future with Bon Jovi: "I don't think so. I've been in the band for 30 years. A damn long time." ... "I have 30 years behind me now, and have only managed to do 3 solo albums. I have had no family life. You ask yourself eventually: Who am I? Am I a drone, that labors, 18 months at a time, every day for the band, every day the same shit?" ... "When I had the chance to chose between money and satisfaction - I have chosen satisfaction. I have enough money."

Not sounding too good...
