I wouldnt read a massive amount into the Richie-less promos etc... If anything its just covering their backs to prevent further refunds if Richie doesn't show for those shows. If he does, they can bring more promos out and make more adverts, no big deal.

In Munich they played for 3 hours and 7 minutes. And there are other concerts where they get somewhat close to the 3-hour mark. They usually play longer than 2h30 minutes (at least the big open airs), and all in all they play longer than most bands.
Of course it's an exaggeration, but one I won't argue with since he didn't say "I play for 3 hours very night", but he strives for it.

Usually showlenght is not a thing you can complain about with this band. There are exceptions, of course. In 2006 I saw them play for just 2 hours in Hessisch Lichtenau (great show though), and one full hour longer in Munich.

http://www.gigwise.com/news/80711/ri...e-castle-owner Hope it's true!

That article is from April 4 and the owner of the castle has already had to walk back those statements.

sadly old news outdated by the fact he hasnt even appeared in Europe!

however, everything has been very quiet from over Stateside..........if that is where both of them currently are!

Omg.. It scares me so much.. Where's Richie?:(

Yes, sorry.. I thought it was a new one

At least with the tour underway again, people can now go back to talking about how bad Jon's voice is. ;) Maybe the short break gave him a chance to rest it up a bit.

He doesn't need rest. He needs a vocal coach.

Another Parody
 

Another Parody

Hey, everyone. I thought it was about time for another parody. This one isn’t funny like the others, though. I’m kinda sad today. I guess it’s true that misery loves company…

Wanted Dead or Alive

It’s all a shame. More than the names have changed.
It looks like Richie’s gone and Phil is still in the game.
Another face, and the trail is growing cold
As we search for clues and hope the story will be told.

Where’s the Cowboy who stood by Jon’s side?
He’s wanted – dead or alive.
He’s wanted – dead or alive.
(yeah)

Sometimes it seems that he’ll be coming back to play.
Other days hope keeps fading away.
Sometimes you find some hope in the stories that you hear
But times when you’re alone you’re scared the end is drawing near.

Where’s the Cowboy who stood by Jon’s side?
He’s wanted – dead or alive.
Wanted (Want-eh-eh-ed) – dead or alive.

We want him on the stage, a loaded six-string in his hands!
Otherwise it’s not the same for many fans.
Yeah, they’ve been everywhere (whoa yeah); and together they stood tall!
But without the whole damn band, it seems they’ve fooled us all.

Where’s the Cowboy? We need him standing by Jon’s side!
Is Bon Jovi dead or alive?
Is Bon Jovi dead or alive?

:sad:

Reminds me of the cover of RIP magazine from the early 90s. The title was: "Bon Jovi: Dead or Alive?"

I won't argue with you on that.

Wow, I hadn't evev thought about that! Isn't that the cover shoot where Jon and Richie didn't speak throughout the whole thing? Kinda foreshadowing this whole mess, huh?

Matt has tweeted that he is on the band plane about to take off for Europe......

:confused:

need

Yes, that's the magazine cover I'm talking about. History has a way of repeating itself.

He looked & sounded great/fired up for the tour.....whatever went down/however it went down, it's too bad.

Couldn't agree more.

I've joined the ranks of "I don't give a f**k" also. I WAS quite upset at various times during this ordeal, but I had a blast at my two shows anyway. I bought tickets for the Cleveland stadium show in July without giving a thought to whether Richie would show up or not. Cold and heartless? Maybe :)

I also registered for the Runaway trip to Las Vegas and it would be nice if Mr. Sambora made an appearance, but my happiness doesn't depend on him. I KNOW Jon will show up!

I saw that. You just want to ask him: "precisely WHO is on the plane with you??" I doubt he'd respond to a request for a roll call! Lol.

Backstager.

This is not good.


I found it a little odd to make a news piece in those terms, so I had to dig a little bit and it all makes more sense now:

I would get a ticket to Slane if Richie came back but it doesn't look like its gonna happen.

I would too, like a flash.

They are selling Manchester and Birmingham tickets in groupon

Already a thread for this news..... and you can get Cardiff/Sunderland too now

I looked it up to see what this is all about.

In the entire conversation he even claims that Richie's in the UK right now.

The thing is, judging by his other tweets and stuff, he's just a Bon Jovi fan like me or anybody else, I don't see how or why he would get to know these things. The "I know somebody that knows somebody" argument has already bored me to tears, to be honest.

Anyway, this is the link to the whole thing, for who's interested: https://twitter.com/cabbage09/status/342040672645312512

I can't say I trust a guy like this.

If I were going to do a selfie I think I'd use another room. LOL Oh....just occurred to me, could he be sitting on the toilet? :shock:

Follow the band across the Atlantic

http://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/N888WU

Me neither. LOL


How do you know that's the flight? I would assume this kind of service doesn't track private planes like Bon Jovi's.

haha Well he's already talking shit, so I guess he's going through to the motions.

Oh, I see it now. You saw this picture on Matt's Twitter and looked the number up. Well, maybe Matt's on his own?

Fed the registration from Matt's tweet picture into flight aware. N888WU is the plane being used for the tour.

Most commercial planes these days are fitted with Mode S transponders which are tracked. If you have Flightradar24 on any iDevice you may be able to track their movements around Europe....

Yeah, I saw that after I posted. Also, he's not on his own 'cause he said he was on the band plane. I guess that's it, we can follow the band and make sure we don't miss the moment when they land and we can sniff for pictures! LOL

You stalkers make me sick.

Meh, I either do this well or I don't do it all and just wait on the couch for my phone to ring. I'm on this thread for a reason and on a mission. Oh, and this is also a way to entertain myself during the shitstorm. I make myself sick at times! It's all good. ;)

As usual Matt probably tweeted without thinking that people could track the jet. The only people who would benefit from this would be the people at the other end, I doubt any of us are gonna run and rent a jet to follow the flight path. LOL :D

That's correct. It's all in good fun, really.

Speaking of good fun, stalking and "CONSPIRACIES!!11!11!", Lorenza Ponce posted this status on Facebook about half an hour ago:

"I'm heading to the midwest to attend my niece's high school graduation on Sunday. Can't wait to see her! Sometimes you just have to say NO to work and YES to family!"

She's TOTALLY hinting at Richie! OMG!!!11!

LOL
