You reply to me saying Sambora has a connection with the fans after I had also wrote this:

Where did I say that? I said the only reason one would think that, is because he was in BJ longer than Ace was in Kiss. I don't think that holds though but one could argue. I think Ace had a lot more of a connection with the fans when he left the band than Richie ever had or will ever have.
Given that, I don't quite get your point. I am not disagreeing with either of your statements. Fact is, however, that these things are all about perception, whether true or false. In my mind Richie's contribution to Bon Jovi is the reason I like Bon Jovi. But that's my mind, it doesn't matter. Certainly, in collective mass perception, at the time Ace left KISS he was more of an integral and irreplaceable part of KISS than Richie is today (or, in fact, has ever been). Yet Kiss went on and are still a massive band today. Does that make more sense?
