Jovitalk - Bon Jovi Fan Community - No Richie on current leg of the tour

Doesn't sound like he will be back with the band for the foreseeable then.

Although I'd struggle to see what would make him a major icon unless he went totally different to what he has done in the past.

The point made was that Richie had a viral "hit" with his song and it was watched about 100,000 times. It was pointed out that what is happening with Prayer is actually what having a viral success is.

Either way, are we forgetting that Richie is a massive part of Prayer, so he is having a viral hit too.

Not forgetting that at all. That's the band I fell in love with.

I'm not counting Prayer's recent chart re-entry as a Richie Sambora viral success, no. He "left" the band to do things on his own under his name and wants to be seen as Richie Sambora, it doesn't go both ways.

Never thought id say this but Richie, just do one and leave the band for good. Yes it wont be the same but so what. I love my band and with out without him i want them to have a few years off then come back and give us a hell of a send off tour.

Screw Richie, cant be arsed wasting anymore time on him...let him hang out with his daugher, lady gaga etc. Forget what made him rich, famous etc.

Enough now, this band has to move on.

Oh Chris, you're gonna piss off the fanboys. ;) And I agree, he needs to sh*t or get off the pot. Or Jon needs to push him off the pot. Just do something official.

Hate to say it but your right, Rolio. 2 icons side by side. Think MTV 1989. That is Bon Jovi. People just need to accept the band is dead

What a lot of fans don't seem to understand is that this band has been Jon's solo project for many years now. It's just that the realization seems to sink in with most fans now that an actual face in the band has changed. This band has been dead since Have A Nice Day; Bounce was the last record that was actually written, demoed and recorded like a real band.

But at least we had a touch here and there of Sambora, That changes everything. Now do not Have It on tour and I'm afraid to think about the future of Bon Jovi. This tour can be a reflection of what will come in the future, I do not buy this.

Jon and Richie together is like Mick Jagger and Keith Richard (IMO), no matter how pitiful they are both now, together worthwhile.
