You get used to it. The KISS board is a never-ending bitch fest from a good chunk of people whining about TWO missing originals, nevermind one (though Ace gets the lions share.) They don't care about the quality of the performances, they just care that it's all originals.

My main issue at the moment is the fact that the pool of songs Bon Jovi can draw from is smaller right now. If Richie actually left the band for good, I'd still be just as interested in them assuming there is a dedication to doing justice to the material and bring out the surprises.
