The Richie Sambora & Orianthi album

She’s taking the running thing too seriously?

Yeah I have plenty of friends who come out to bars who just have water or soft drink. It doesn't mean they have drinking problems not by a long shot.

Or people who don’t like alcoholic drinks or designated drivers....

Wow. Thank you for informing me that I've been an alcoholic my entire life.

What an asolute, uneducated, dick head thing to say....

I don't think what jazzsta said is low
maybe he was just in a bar and a little bit drunk hihih

I guess you may be right.

Depending on the culture you live in

Been working crazy hours: But - I'll try to rehash without going too far But:

Normally when people like or favour or comment on others posts it has some meaning to that person, correct? If you see a video you like, if you see a band picture whatever.
She is the q of Delete as well. That's another novel. I've actually posted pics on here with alcohol involved with them both. This was before people wanted to admit that Richie was not sober. Examples: Early on, before she moved in there was the vodka pong video in his garage with Brooklyn Allman. That was the night before her solo gig at the Malibu Guitar Fest when Kevin Costner's band was the headliner. She showed up very late, did two or three songs and excused herself as not feeling well. With the video the night prior, IMO it's called a hangover. A lot of these were prior to her image makeover, still in the torn shorts and fishnets.

She favs quite a few pot products and posts on ig. One post that stands out was Bob Rocks son talking about popping a molly. He was in the studio in Canada while RSO was there working on the album. He for some time took his IG private. How you sweat and yada yada..... Guilt by association, possible but is it probable?

She in cooper stage wear holding ice, 0 calories was the comment but the bottles around were not water. Her best friend on more than one occasion said her water bottle was Vodka, it did not come off as a joke. There is an old interview with her where she said she did NOT drink on stage with Cooper, he didn't allow it. The implication was after. They had a conversation on one site with fans about how vocalist didn't smoke but used edibles. In Hi with a massive drink glass and the comment "I don't drink much anymore." The airport at Rock N Brews when fans started telling Richie he didn't need to be drinking - she had one too. Back stage in 2014 Europe, more Gin bottles plus in the dressing room than in the local ABC store. Wine glasses on almost every food post/table, a lot his kitchen. I posted one of Richie with a martini/olive included and her with a rocks glass and people said it was water. How blind. Go back through this board to the first Euro shows, people talking about him needing help up stairs, her going off stage too often - drink was on stage and not changing equip. The scuttlebutt was white powder. The photo blog from one of his fashion shows talking about how the white powder flowed. They DID NOT name names. When it's scuttlebutt (gossip) I've always said as such but I trust some of my sources. No, I'll not share how they are connected because they would never share again. Some things I've not shared, nor won't. Look at how thin she has become. She can say it's healthy all she wants but it's not. IMO they both had habits and together it was dangerous.

I grew very tired of everyone just blaming him. I'm not saying she is some junkie, but she is not the innocent some proclaim. Yes, he doesn't hide it as well as he did when he was young. Damn shame, because he's not Keith Richards who can perform in any condition. Australia anyone? I know people who were close enough to smell at 10 or 12 of their shows. They were heartbroken. Richie had seemed to be doing so well in 2012.

Yes, she posted smoking a joint and deleted it within hours but Orianthi Radio on FB made it their avatar. She has since reposted it. Don't know if it stayed. I know a lot of people see that as harmless, I'd support medical use but my Personal Experience is that I've Never known anyone who Just Smoked Pot.

Is that enough? I do not see her as innocent as some seem to. Never Did. He has admitted problems and I don't want to see one of my 30 year memories be a statistic.

I said day one - don't mix business and pleasure. Fashion didn't teach him. I never liked her vocals and her playing doesn't impress me. She was a working musician not some mega star as they tried to claim. One platinum single on the heels of MJ's death. Not a bad career but both were better apart. Now, can either get it together?

Lastly (thank goodness right) I was raised by an addict/alcoholic so I tend to spot things that others would ignore.

Great Post!!!
