I think one of the most valid points made throughout this whole thread is the one about WAN being an album of five fair (ish) BON JOVI songs, and the rest JBJ solo efforts, excluding Every Road of course. since that statement the more I think about it the more it makes sense,
WAN is 90% a JBJ solo record with cameo appearances from Dave,Tico and Richie. Although I dont believe its the sole reason for Richie walking I think this JBJ & Friends issue needs sorting, and two or three years down the line they need to create a true,classic BON JOVI album where Sambora has more than a minniscule input, and maybe even bring the infamous "PIZZA PIE JURY" back into play!!!!
