i also find it difficult to accept how many people dont miss richies guitar at all...how can this even be possible? the guy was up with the legends for many years, in his bad day richie is still better than all these shredders with no personality...richie may have dissapointed many of us but all these comments are hard to read...who wrote all these songs? all these licks? is there a single song that is performed better now than with richie??? jon may always want to prove himself but this tour was a disaster for the band.., they sound like a cover band, and jon sometimes is so delusional that thinks that people want to listen to kings of suburbia...for gods sake...
richie let us down with his attitude and all but there is no band without richie...just some backing musicians.
