No Richie on current leg of the tour

He still looks like he is drunk or on something else. I don't know - it just doesn't seem right.

Just a few extra pounds, that's not a crime.

I know what you mean, though I think it's easy to read into things too much.

Aloha !

More like a few extra pints. He just hasn't looked "all there" for a year now. I still think he's taking something, whether it's alcohol or (prescription) drugs I don't know.

He wants to be "authentic" but the last year he has been a reflection of those around him. Fashionista photo shopped in the summer with the Lunds, now all hard rocker, Tyler braids for Ori. Looking back he was Hollywood with Heather and Pop world with Jon - Will the real Sambora please stand up. Versatility can be good, but? I hope it's not the drugs/alcohol again, fought those theories.

Really am curious why the film crew was at his house yesterday though?

Are you kid din' me? Tico Torres is 60 just as an FYI.

Probably because of the new album. Maybe to give a sneak peek of what's to come.

Yea. Something seems off with Richie and I'm not liking it. Maybe he's on something? Could be something legal too for all we know? Maybe all those years of abuse caught up with him and his chemical imbalance is thrown off and he needs something to balance him out?

I'm really not digging this new look either like I initially thought. His hair looks dated and the facial hair is weird too. I liked his Craig Ferguson look the best of more recent times.

I want to think that, he's been keeping up with such a clean persona with Bon Jovi all these years, that this is him letting go and rebelling. Like he's just trying to be a crazy ass rock star again. If so, it's just coming across unnatural or like everyone says, like he's on something.

I really don't like either image from Jon or Richie right now. They are both on two opposite ends of the extreme. Maybe they are doing this so when they do finally get back together and clean up, It'll give us relief and make them look like Bon Jovi again? I doubt it but this is show biz so you never really know. I also have a theory that Jon and Richie are milking this feud a little due to all the publicity that it's getting.

Richie mentions a collaboration with Stevie Wonder and how leaving Bon Jovi opened up many new doors:

"Like people are going "[play] Run Away" and I'm going "I hate that song! I'll never play it again!''

Augh, just formally quit already. This sucks.
