Bobby is probably the reason why they sang Drift Away. At the SSJ shows that I have been to without Bobby - John has sometimes NOT played a request because "Bobby isn't here and that one needs a good voice".
Bobby is not a bad guitar player - his style is so different that he comes across as almost inept - but he's not. He comes from the "wicked licks and nothing else" school of rock and roll LOL.
As a local musician I have to defend him too. No one works harder. He organizes all sorts of benefit concerts at the Red Bank Theater. He has run the New Jersey Shore Rock and Roll Reveiw for several years. He's a good guy, but musically, he really doesn't belong in the Bon Jovi band except as a basic rhythm guitar player.
