I agree with Devilson that Richie had a hand in these great, great songs and it's painful to every fan of this band that he isn't there, but it can and should go on without him until he either gets back, or until this tour is done. |

Someone else pointed out that he adds nothing to the show. It's worse than that. He detracts from it. He butchers solos, he looks like an ass up there, and he gets more attention from Jon than the rest of the band. The more I think about it, I really think Richie did have a falling out with Jon. Jon acts like he's such a perfectionist, but I really think Richie is the one who cares about the quality of music. The best Bon Jovi songs are co-written by Richie. He's probably just sick and tired of Jon half-assing set lists and playing shit songs that nobody wants to hear. He probably told Jon, and there you go - Richie's sitting out for personal issues. |
Oh here we go again - back to evil Jon, Saint Richie - give me a ****ing break!
There's still been absolutely no indication anywhere there was any falling out other than a TMZ article -which everywhere else has picked up on. There's nothing in the behaviour of the band to support that argument. It doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but it certainly doesn't mean it has either. |

1. Alec making too many mistakes due to his using/abusing 2. Alec not wanting to work as hard as Jon pushed everyone to do 3. Alec being told by Jon that he was a crap player 4. Alec telling Jon he was a crap songwriter 5. Alec saying too much to reporters, Jon telling him that no one wanted to hear what Alec has to say. 6. Most recent (from Jon): Alec wasn't fired, he just wanted to leave and bless him, he has stayed quiet over the years. He could have talked but he didn't. It is out of respect to him and the original 5 members that he will never be officially replaced. When I look at early clips, I am struck with the "star" quality of Alec and the fact that he had a beautiful voice. To me it brought up the Mick Jagger / Brian Jones scenario. It is my understanding that Brian Jones gave Mick a run for his money in star material (in fact was originally the leader of the group in its formation) and Mick didn't like it. Alec's leaving can't just be making mistakes or using; Richie has made too many mistakes for years and years and YEARS and ditto on using/abusing alcohol. |

He said that he was fired and that he wanted to be back in the band. That was a earlier from the show where he did Wanted dead or alive with the band live. He wasn't resentful or anything, he just missed being in the band. Back to the Richie mystery, I don't think it was a personal issue because it wasn't announced. The only thing that comes to my mind that would be kept a tight secret is something to do inside the band, be it a problem between band members or just a money issue. We've known right away about a lot of stuff that happened to the band and they didn't really keep quiet about it, unlike now. |

Of course it won't be as good as Richie but he hits all the notes and doesn't stay on any one note for too long. It sound fine.... |
