If I'm not mistaken Richie started working on The Wind Cries Mary while they were finishing up the NJ tour; but I'd have to go back and check. It was on the Japanese or extended edition of SITT; but Discogs doesn't list any musicians specifically for the bonus track; the same musicians on the standard release are credited on those editions. So I'd assume it was the same guys, too.

Thanks Jackie. It was included in the soundtrack of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, which was released in the early summer of 1990. So possibly you are right, it could have been recorded at the end of the New Jersey tour with the guys.

According to the writer, this is a quote from an interview Richie did in November 1991, for “Hot Metal” magazine, when he was promoting SITT.

Quote:

When did you realise you needed to bail out?

“There wasn’t any one point – what really made me think I could go out on my own was when I did “The Wind Cries Mary” thing. I was in South America in month 16 of the Bon Jovi tour and was starting to feel very creatively stifled, as well as depressed. There were many days between shows because we were doing the huge stadiums, so you’d have five days off at a time to sit in your hotel room. Paramount rang and said they were in a jam for the Andrew Dice Clay movie and could I help out by jamming on “Wind Cries Mary”, to which I immediately said yes.

Touring is a lonely gig. It is in isolation that our heroes turn to vices.

“I knew it’d creatively get the whole thing going, anything to get me going. I asked for every Hendrix video and CD to be sent, and I lived him for five days. Band Of Gypsies was one of the first records I ever bought in my life, that and Deep Purple’s Machine Head.

“Every morning before I went to school I’d be playing those albums, so that five days in South America it was like getting re-acquainted with Jimi. I wanted to exploit his wild side a little bit, and I wanted to get into his head. It was like studying for a test, because I was scared…”

Of what?

“The fact that it was a hard task to follow – I hadn’t sung lead vocals for 10 years. Also I was stuck in the narrow parameter of the Bon Jovi music, at that point I wasn’t sure if I could break out of it. I didn’t f_king know, and it was important for me to go and try that. But once I started playing the records and the videos it just came out. I didn’t plan it. It just happened and I knew I’d be able to do it.

“I was very insecure, y’know, with the mental fatigue and the frustration I was having within the frame of the touring schedule. Cher was very instrumental because when I came off the road she took care of me. I went to live with her and she was very cool. I always sing around the house, strum a guitar but I was so mentally f___ked up that I didn’t know if I could do a solo album.”

Thanks again Jackie. So he did the thing when he was still on end tour.

So I don't see why anybody should invest big money into a guitarist, who is way out of his prime and left a muli-million-dollar business in the middle of a tour --> unreliable

I'd disagree with that. Personally I'll never go to another show without Richie but my friends I used to go to BJ concerts with (all of whom aren't hard core fans) all said they don't want to go without Richie since its so expensive and Richie was a huge part of the show.

Man, I'm sure with a username like that we'll get plenty of unbiased discussions with you.

With your first post you dig out a 8 months old posting of a discussion that's already finished (and outdated after the announcement of the 2019 tour)!?

And isn't that a lovely way to say "Welcome" to the new guy!

Pay no attention, richie>jon! I'm sure discussions with you couldn't be any more biased than most of the ones I've read on this board. The majority of people here, regardless of username, wouldn't know an unbiased discussion if it stepped up and slapped them in the face.

Oh I agree but as a mod it immediately gets my back against the wall that someone joins with a name like that and, like Faceman said, uses their first post in that manner. All for discussion, all for debates but everything about this so far tells me it'll lead somewhere mods will need to be involved. I would be reacting the exact same way if it was Jon>Richie, and making the same spiel.

Well, technically Richie is taller than Jon (1,84m to 1,75m). So the username is correct

Richie Sambora!!!
