Richie Sambora!!!

Why wouldn't Tommy drum on acoustic songs though? Granted I feel like he was just the guest drummer for that song/session.

You could be right.
I assumed that because Stefanie Eulinberg was in the studio with Richie at that time when all his acoustic guitars where in the studio.

I'm not even sure Tommy Lee was playing for Richie's album in that clip. At the time, I was pretty sure he was because I didn't see any reason for Richie to be in the studio otherwise. But iirc, there was a lot going on that time: Franstrine posted the clip with Tommy while he was working on the Ray Parker documentary and I think Richie was involved somehow with that, too, as well as his own album; and I think Rock was also working with Motley on "The Dirt" or maybe on some new stuff (not sure). I don't think we ever determined for sure which of those projects the clip was from.

I hope Tommy guests on it; but I don't want to count on it too much.

That said, though, I really wouldn't be disappointed if Stefanie was the drummer on all the songs.

I tend to disagree there

I love Aftermath era, maybe it's because it was a great time personally but anyway, there are a few outstanding songs for me (Seven Years Gone, You Can Only Get So High) and many songs I enjoy and only one or two I don't need to listen to.
The RSO project was terrible in the end. I don't Ori's personality and I can't stand her voice. Kudos to her for the live shows because she kept it together during the times Richie was, let's say "unfocused" but he got his sh*t together as it seems. Plus I think his potential ca be heard in his Richie-only songs. I even liked a few of the shared one. Actually I quite enjoy the album from time to time. Surprisingly I like the variaty of styles. It's nothing to write home about. Overall the project was bad, given the way they were releasing the material, the quality of the shows etc.
So I hope that Richie has found the passion in him and he'll show us what's left of him musically.

Hmm. I know in that clip you can hear Richie's voice on the track. That doesn't guarantee it's for his album I guess. I'm just hoping it is

I seriously doubt Richie would pay Tommy to play on his entire album... What these guys usually do is get a few special guests to play or cowrite a few songs... It helps with marketing.

Richie had Steven Tyler and Bernie Taupin play/write/sing on Aftermath.

My two favorite songs - BY FAR - to emerge from the RSO project were "Take Me" and "Forever All The Way".

Now check out who was involved in the writing of these.

I am more excited about this than about the new BJ album I guess. I mean, I wasn't exactly wowed by the stuff the JBJ band has put out in advance. If Richie teases the record with some lukewarm stuff, who knows. But as of now, yeah, bring it on - I'm all ears.

What was Steven's involvement in Aftermath? I know Bernie co-wrote Weathering the Storm. Steven played Harmonica on If God Was a Woman on Undiscovered Soul, is that what you're thinking of?

Yes. Undiscovered Soul.
