If Jon was no longer a part of Bon Jovi because of something like his death, and Richie, David, and Tico SOMEHOW managed to carry on.. (since Jon is the one with the record deal) ...

But, thinkly strangly, if Richie, Tico, and David were to carry on...................................I'd buy the albums, but I don't know about live.

Richie is a good frontman, though I don't think he's as good as Jon in vocals or just being on stage as the leader of the band..while Jon is an awesome guitar player but not as good as Richie.

Richie would be a good front man. Much better than David and Tico..............They have little experience in being frontmen.. They're always behind the keyboard and drums.
