Maybe it was Richie/band being lazy at being assertive during the recordings. How awesome a song is "Flesh & Bone" with the amazing outro or the live version of "Any other day" with an extra Richie solo at the end. Contrast them with "Its my Life" where the repeated final chorus becomes a bit tedious to listen to.
Oh I 100% get that mate. That's why I'm saying that I'd like even half of the songs that I mentioned to just have them on solo stuff. That's what I listen too more (especially now) and I just think it'd bring a bit more 'creativity' as you said to the band.

I get that JBJ likes to walk around the stage and command the band and everything else but sometimes he just stands and watches or has a drink. Just be good to get some back.
