thnx..richie is an older guy and probably hasnt fully comprehent how social media work to be gentle...their most popular video with ori is in a guitar store...
if richie had some a couple guys who knew their thing just play around with huge collection of guitars,electric,acoustics, amps and pedals, played a couple of tunes to showcase its case he could easily approach guitar heads outthere, i know richie wants to be perceived as a singer mainly but at this point as a solo artist richie isnt even considered a serious guitar player.
Some clips working with bob rock would also probably get viral.
Richie needs someone to direct him in a way and the guy has the talent to make it work. i d love to see them back with bj but i d also follow him solo, if he wants to be able to have a live following with his past work/brandname and money it would be easy.
very few musicians-instrumentalists out there have richies voice yet he looks burned
