I don't think so. He's been all over the media there, exactly because of him not being there when Bon Jovi was there. All they're interested in is why he wasn't there in 2013, as opposed to why he was there when he was actually there.

Erm, no. Slash's career took off as soon as GnR stopped. Snakepit started touring in 1995 and did 85 shows, playing festivals and playing venues with a capacity of 1.000 - 2.000 people. Ever since Slash has left GnR he's been in various bands, whether it'd be with old band members, guest stars or just another big name. And because of him always either recording our touring, he is actually capable of playing small arena's nowadays. All because he's actually delivering what people want from him, as opposed to trying to be "Current", like your hero does.
Richie seems to think that after being invisible in Bon Jovi for the past 10 years, he could just leave and start a solo career by doing 15 shows a year. His ego is taking a beating every time he tries to do something that's just way out of his league, but as long as he's not realizing it and has got fans like you who seem to think that he's still THE Richie Sambora that everyone wants to see, as opposed to being the Richie Sambora everyone wishes to see, his career won't take off. Richie used to be able to play circles around Slash, but nowadays Slash just is the better guitarist out of the two of them.
