i am not a jon hater, i am fan of the band...i m entitled to my own opinion...its obvious jon doesnt say anything about richie these days, in the begining he made some comments, some of them showed love, some other were poisonous...(the edge comment was an under the belt hit where richie was the target but hurt the whole band) and apart from all these i also criticise richie for making a fool of himself since april...BUT jon should realise that richie is bon jovi...he cant replace him, maybe richie isnt reliable the last years but trying to transform your band into e street is pathetic, its doomed to fail...
i hope everything works out but imo the richie reference was a sign that jon still thinks that everything is fine, richie should be happy with every decision he makes, and that bobby and phill x are equally good or even better...jon is a smart guy, he should realise he is part of the problem and involve richie-tico and david more...the next record,if there will be one, should be totaly different to wan and what it represents
