What a strange thing to say. I bet that makes Phil feel great...

Phil does what he's told. Hired gun.

Phil's a hired gun and it's obvious that Jon misses the chemistry he once used to have with Richie, both on and off stage. One can't help but see that there are more people up there, yet Jon seems a lot more lonely to me.
And didn't he already say a couple of months ago that both Shanks's and Bobby's style of guitar playing were a lot more fitting and closer to Richie than Phil's sytle?

I'm not denying any of that, but it just feels a little incosiderate to me. One minute he's pushing Phil as a full on member and the next he's say he wishes Richie was in the band every day. Even if that's true, if it was me, I wouldn't be putting it out there in the media....

This is Jon. As to say that his gang is moving on he has to beat up Richie and add despite his departure for .... drugs and alcohol. Strange guy, says he loves Richie but never cared about him. That interview after the Unplugged 2007 fiasco still gives me goose bumps. When Jon say that Richie had broken his heart. Seriously Jon ?, the only broken and trampled heart was Richie hitting rock bottom.

His job as leader and friend should have been - stop the show and postpone it. All that motto of the show must continue no matter what, it is what has brought us here.

Now Jon says he wants to take it easy and do the tours more relaxed, of course, when your guitarist and right hand man proposed this in 2013, you spat in his face and pushed him to another tour of 100 shows/ year. In the end, no football team, Instant Karma.

The result of all this, we don't have Richie, Jon lost his voice, we have a band that doesn't exist in the recording studio, and to top it all, John Shanks not only continues to produce, but is also on tour with them.

You guys are reading this all wrong. Every time Jon mentions the word "Richie" everyone has to over analyze every word he says.

This House was the first (and only album without Richie released to date)... Jon was unsure if the band could move forward without Richie and although he misses him in the band, This House proved that they could move forward and he's now confident in the band's future without him. That's how I took it. It's a check the box quote.

I don't think there is anything to read into. Jon quoted that perfectly... Now if Jon said that he didn't miss him in the band, I could see that sparking some conversation. Or if Jon said that the band's music was suffering without Riche, I could see that sparking conversation...

To me "not a day goes by that I would not like to have Richie in the band again" to me translates as "this band is not as good without Richie", but yes you are right, he could just mean he misses the camaraderie.

If he would just shut the fcuk up about that topic nobody would care anyway

But watch out, guys - there might be a twist nobody's thinking about:
As long as Jon keeps mentioning Richie from time to time and in that way he did in that quote, he keeps the public hope alive for a comeback someday. It doesn't even matter if there's any truth to it or not. Even fans who don't like the new songs but still reading the news keep it in their subconscious mind, if they realize it or not and thus keep some kind of interest alive.

Btw. it's the same way some governments work, but the other way around - constructing fear of something that doesn't exist.
