Richie live at Download Festival 2014

I can think of a hundred songs I'd rather hear over The Distance.

Great time. I like it. The new drummer is good, is constant and I especially like their sound. Now I need to see Burn That Candle Down!.

Maybe. But it's a good surprise.

I am agree. I never heard Richie singing that... is new, and catches my attention how Richie can sing this song.

Richie with Joe Bonanasasaaaasasaaaaaa.



A whole set of Richie hob nobbing back stage - http://t.co/Zn9uchgACm You can say what you want about Richie but he's a social motherf*cker.

Yeah, here with Brad Whitford.


Now, Richie is the boss.

Seriously?

Strikes me pathetic how he is trying to be Jon but failing miserably...

Yeah cos Jon invented the all for one hand thing

It must be fun listen to Richie giving the speech in the clasped hands moment.

Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!

It sounds like so many years of listening to Tico has spoiled you, too, LOL!

When Undiscovered Soul came out, I liked it fine, but it lacked something that Stranger In This Town had had. It nagged at me so, I started playing Stranger and solved the mystery within five minutes: Richie hadn't used Tico on Undiscovered Soul.

I blame my upbringing -- listening to jazz, blues, and R&B gave me a preference for drummers who are more interested in laying down the beat than "supplementing" what their bandmates are doing. As I turned to rock music, it was drummers like Ringo Starr and John Bonham and Noel Redding and Bill Ward and Jean-Paul Gaster who stood out. As for Tico, remember the fight BJ has at the beginning of Access All Areas? He was mad because he thought they hadn't listened to him!

I'm glad Richie realizes he needs a brisk, punchy drummer, especially if he's going to be covering Bon Jovi songs -- oops, I mean, especially if he's going to be playing the songs that he wrote for Bon Jovi!
