richie is snobbed because he is not so great.......i mean I LOVE RICHIE SAMBORA, IS MY FAVOURITE EVER because the character but even if he is such a fine guitarist i think he could not be in the olympus among with VAN HALEN MALMSTEEN NORUM LYNCH ecc ecc....he is quite a good rock/blues player nothing more.....i think he is a better singer than a guitarist.....

p.s. anyway he's a lot better than slash.....
