true...i think it was criminal in dry county especially to not be given a songwriting credit to Richie, jon obviously sees who wrote the chords and lyrics but Richies guitar work is phenomenal...
Regarding bed of roses, i randomly watched the unesco 94 concert with jon and rich. there is a small guitaR lick before the last chorus of the song that always works as a charm.. Richie wrote it and always nailed it ;live, in an organic way, not like shredding. phil x, hasnt nailed it once, yet everyone says how easy the guitar work is by Richie. its not only the speed or the complexity, its the timing, the feel, the finesse that a master can provide. Richie truly was the man
ps. no intention to put down X its just that many times i hear bj songs are easy ...always make me skeptical and puts me in adefensive mode,
