Of course they would continue. In fact, I don't think the Edge was EVER able to play, yet they have been touring for over 30 years now.

First off and most important, I hope everything is ok in the Sambora camp. These guys are getting older, they are human, and they do have real problem like everyone else.

I just hope people could be mature and unselfish about this. Whatever issue Richie is dealing with, put yourself in his situation and apply it to your everyday career. If you had a personal issue to address, would you want others at your job to respect your decision? Or bash you behind your back?

I just hope this doesn't turn into a Jon pissing match. The guy always does his best and is caught between a rock and a hard place once again. No Richie does not = a JBJ and Friends show. There are 4 other members in Bon Jovi and Jon will get a professional replacement to perform Bon Jovi songs.

90% of the people will have the right attitude about the situation and will still find a ways to go and enjoy themselves. For the remaining 10%, there is always Stub-Hub. If you put your tickets up for face value or maybe just under, you should have no problems selling them.

I'm going to both New Meadowlands Stadium shows in July with a bunch of friends and I'll be sure as shit to have a good time regardless.

On a side note, I'm curious to see this Bon Jovi show with Jon on lead. I find these situations interesting because it kicks these guys in the ass and forces them to get off auto-pilot. You probably get a better show to some degree.

Have I missed something?

Where have I said I'm totally fine with Richie leaving the band? (which, just to be clear, I don't believe he has)

What opinions are you talking about?

This kind of pisses me off, I have been to EVERY tour that they have done, this would be the first that my 10 yr old daughter is VERY excited to go to, and now Richie won't be there. I'm not even sure what the ban will sound like without him.

I'm not looking for a fight, I'm just being realistic.

I know he's been touring and recording with his own band The Drills. But, he would be the obvious choice. Not sure if they can get someone for tonight's show on such short notice but we'll see.

Why? Because I don't think substance abuse is a disease?

I'm not saying I don't have empathy for people with abuse problems. I just feel as though calling it a disease is an excuse. There has never been scientific evidence that points to anyone being forced to pick up a bottle of alcohol or needle of heroin. Now, of course once they start, quitting is a different story. Is that a disease? I don't know. Guess it depends on your opinion.
