The Richie Sambora & Orianthi album

Richie's fallen off the face of the earth and just tweets at random every several days. If that's the intense promotion going on, then I'm pretty stunned. It's all very weird, can't even compare it to any other band/singer I've been following so far.

i guess there will be some press but if richie doesnt invest time and MONEY very few will notice. imo the first ep is not really good, but if the second is stronger or maybe a cover should start to give Rso some traffic because it looks like nth happening.

If you really think this isn't his money that's paying for all this where do you think it's coming from?

If anyone is interested: The Chicago venue as of today: 177 seats still avail. at $75. Only 8 are avail. at $125. That translates that near the stage is near full. But the venue holds 360 total, with 185 still available means a bit under 1/2 has sold. All the front 3 rows are marked sold out at $250. They do have still near two full weeks to sell. Now, I do still stand by my opinion that most casuals won't spend $75 plus parking. They'll go spend $20 to hear a house band and drink a beer. Since it is committed to be recorded - sales numbers may not risk cancellation, just camera angle.

you didnt get my point. he has to keep paying for advertise/tv time/ a decent video etc to stand a chance...he obviously paid bob rock and the session musicians but things have slowed down now and noone seems to notice or care

Paying for TV Time/Adverts are a waste of time and money these days. Agreed they need to ramp it up, but on social media, that's where it's at these days. A successful social media campaign can be massive. A video would be essential, not sure why they didn't do one for the EP.....

Very strange they doesn't record a video. Nowadays every decent local band can get fantastic videos without having to pay hundreds of thousand of dollars. It's just lazy.

Lazy is a good word and translates more or less into "I don't give a f**k." Ori keeps reposting some random tweets praising the EP or her guitar skills. Nothing new, same old story on repeat.

They spent all their money on Bob Rock...

Maybe he doesn't give a ****...and so what? He's out there making the music he wants to make with his young girlfriend. Wasn't the whole album tour cycle part of the reason he got bored in Bon Jovi. Maybe he just wants to do what the hell he wants for the rest of his life and who could blame him. He's earned it. He has no one to answer to. Some would say he's living the dream.
