Bullshit. Richie was awesome on the last tour and looked in great form before he left this tour. Look at how much most people here were raving about his performance on the live stream just before he left.

Well I disagree, he is now and was on the first leg a shadow of his former self. I admit he improved from some of the washout shows he did and he was certainly more into it, but he wasnīt blazing it on guitar like he used too. Some people (I am not saying you are one) think him showing passion is enough, and that playing a muddy mess of notes is him back to his best, I think purely from a guitar players perspective, and in my opinion he has been on a steady decline since Crush.
It reminds me of Aftermath, an album I sort of dig but donīt love. yeah it had a few solos here and there (nowhere near as much as he made out it would have though) but none of them were amazing solos, and yes I even include the outro to Seven Years which seems to make everyoneīs knickers wet.
This isnīt a taking sides thing either, Jon is even more shit and neither of them have an excuse really.
What I will concede and I sort of ignored it in the post above by flippantly saying the tour would be just as bad is that with Richie there the energy would have been different, so yeah the tour may have been better.
