Prayer solo: lol

Electric version of prayer featuring orianthi is really cool, the band sounds quite good, i hope richie will do some festivals in europe next summer, I wouldn't miss that

Lol that was terrible!

Aloha !

Yeah, especially the key change that's not there, the guitar solo he ****s up, and half the words he's not singing sound really great. It really, really sounds like a second rate cover band right there.

Salaam Aleikum,

the sad truth is that richie is really great as a sideman, co writer, right hand man...he is not a frontman and imo he shouldnt try so desperately to be even if he has a great voice...he should be happy in his shoes and not trying to be jon...he surely is talented even if he is not as good as he once was.
bon jovi would never be the same without him but seeing SO sloppy all the time makes me feel weird, richie was the man back in the days and now he embarasses himself.
there has been some cool moments but most of the time he is not focused, sloppy and puts the bar low imo, jon & richie together is the magic, seperately there are some good songs but live sth is missing

That solo for 'Livin' On A Prayer' is ridiculous.

I really don't mind the mistakes or changes he makes on the songs, he's an awesome songwriter, guitar player and artist, he has a solid band and solo album. and he doesn't have to be an entertaining frontman like jon, his shows does not require that, he is not playing stadiums with big production. Anyway I like his style and music for this moment

Making mistakes/forgetting chunks of songs should have nothing to do with the size of the place OR the production. If anything because it's scaled back it's more important to polish yourself up.

It's really surprising (at least to me) how much Richie has been screwing up lately (The Distance taking the cake on that one). This dude has been a professional musician for over 30 years. Hmm, not good...
