No Richie on current leg of the tour

It's bloody sad how 90% of these fans seem to not give a damn about the band or the music and no-one can view anything objectively. Its worse than dealing with a bunch of Belibers or One Direction fans, just totally myopic.

Richie tweeting all this crap about his old solo stuff, and then releasing this utter turd via Nikki is insulting. Bon Jovi is what got him where he was, for him to ignore that is equally insulting. Without them, no-one outside a small audience in Europe gives a shit about him or his music and fashion. Even less will care about his music after he has sacked off the band without explanation to produce crap that sounds like a 50 year old man pretending to be 20.

It's a shame that the fans are the ones to lose out in Richie's mid-life crisis, and even more of a shame that both sides couldn't act like adults and see out the tour for the paying public who put them where they are. Greedy, arguing old men is not a pretty sight.

But all of these points have come up on this thread at various times. As I say, I hate the demonizing of women i.e. if anyone feels that Richie has gone off the rails, is too full of himself, is going to quit the band etc. it must be because of Nikki.

P.S. I am unable to PM you which is why I am responding this way. Otherwise, I would have preferred to address you privately. Thanks.

Either way I don't like her. I don't know how much or how little influence she has on Richie but I do not get a good vibe about her. Just my perception.

I also don't like the sudden twitter action by Richie. He was practically silent for 3 months and all of a sudden he's retweeting links and talking about old solo tracks but not mentioning the elephant in the room. I wish he'd just tell us what we all want to know once and for all.

I mean, it's one thing to post Tweets as he has in the past, but in the last few days, he's re-Tweeted and even commented to some fans, and seems to be fishing for compliments regarding the "Sambora Sunday" stuff that fans are posting. It's like he's suddenly trying to make up for lost time by doing all of this interaction. Or trying to prove something.

I don't think being a fan is something really mature people do. They might enjoy something, but to the extent of spending that much time following the band and posting on forums? Don't think so.
