Default Richie says European audiences are way better than American audiences

Aloha !

I'm not trying to cause a stir here but it's been some time since the band admitted this. I reckon Jon's awareness to social media has a lot to do with it (what he says over there will end up on the other side of the world within minutes), but now that Richie's out promoting stuff on his own he's already said and done several things he'd never be "allowed" to do with Jon at the wheel.

The article says:

"Sambora kicked of his European tour in a sold out Melkweg in Amsterdam. "It's a great venue and it was packed", he says. "I don't want to deprive American audiences, but European audiences pay more attention. They really pay attention to the voices and art in general".

It's gotta suck to have tickets for an artist who doesn't think much of you in the first place though. But mostly I really wonder why he even bothers to tour there. The crowds in Amsterdam, Germany and most likely London as well, will without a doubt be miles better than those in New Yank City (see what I did there?) and the likes. So why even bother? I'm not saying American fans of Jovitalk don't deserve a show but from his point of view I really don't get it.
