I beg to disagree. Richie is not only a guitarist, albeit a great one. If he was just a guitarist then yeah, I'd high-five you on that. Bon Jovi without Jon? Nobody can imagine that. And then we have Queen and Lambert and they're "doing fine." Izzy left G'n'Roses long ago and the band somehow survived *and reunited without*, even though he was one of the primary songwriters, too. Axl's voice is shit and yet, the crowds are flocking to the arenas. Does it mean they're that good? To many fans for sure. See? It's all about taste AND personal choice. I'm not moaning. I'm grateful RHOF happened bc I could experience the real deal. The dynamics on stage. The harmonies. I'm grateful for the music, for the memories but there's no way I can deny Richie's *multiple* role in that little band of ours. Ticket sales and arenas full of people? Oh, yes, but it's enough to read the comments of those who actually bother to comment. Women salivating at Jon's ass. Some trying to spot all the little details, so they could sigh with relief that Jon's "improving" and feed on *false* hopes they will be great again. The others putting the band to rest once again.
And FYI, I do have a life and I don't spend my days and nights crying into a pillow that Richie is not in the band. I love the man and I love being a BJ fan.
