Richie Interview

Nikki's a mess, this is just her way of trying to "take Richie back" if you like for use on her projects. Didn't think she was into men anyhow, so screams even more of her usual publicity whore nonsense. Just clinging onto Richie to flog her tat.

I don't think it's the case that he couldn't be bothered. He was on a promised break after a long tour and wanted to do something else but drum. Jon talks about the phone call in which Tico told him to **** off as an amusing anecdote that backs him his self proclaimed workaholic status. I can't imagine anyone was mad with Tico and lets face it most of the songs are demoed with a drum machine nowadays so Tico isn't really needed until the tracks have to be recorded for the final cut.

Richie seemed to take the same approach to WAN as Tico but carried that on to touring.
