Are we still blaming Richie saying he doesn't care less, doesn't care for fans and letting down his band mates? We all kno the reason why he's not there.... Because Jon is a ****ing prick!!!

Keep preaching, makes no difference and wont change the minds of those who choose not to keep their heads buried in the sand.

Jon was a prick before April 3.

It's good to know from you, oh, almighty one, at least we can bet on a ****in' good porno when they'll get down on it. The second-grader thing never rang true to me. Thanks for enlightening us. The mods can now close the thread.

Considering you have no idea what I do you are the delusional one. I mean you are putting a musician up as a deity. Seriously chill.

I don't think we should mix Richie being MIA on last tour with Richie being MIA this time around.
They're two different things. I'm reading stuff that doesn't really add up, like "health comes first", "nobody blinked when it was for rehab", etc. coupled with "this is the second time in the last two tours", "if I didn't show up for work for the umpteenth time, I'd get fired".

Unless the problem this time around turns out to be alcohol-related like in the past, the two aspects should be kept separate. Yeah, it would be a rather unfortunate coincidence and yes, it would bring people to see Richie as not reliable for the future.
But if we agree that health comes first and he shouldn't be blamed for not working when he was having alcohol problems, then this time the matter should be treated differently, as a first.

I'm not sure I'm getting the point across, I hope I am.

First time around people had a solid reason, drinking/rehab stint. So it was like "oh, ok that's why he's not with the band. Got it." This time no real solid reason has been given, just Richie/Matt's vague tweets and Jon's "sticking to the game plan" interviews. :)

I won't be disappointed if he doesn't appear, yet I firmly believe he will play some part.

Honestly, I don't think it's alcohol related.
Based on previous evidence, Richie got really out of shape whenever there's an alcohol related issue. He looked perfectly healthy (at least physically） just 2 days before the US leg tour began.

It's exactly this kind of remark that gets people started up. You're covering a lot of ground there, friend. Could you be a little more specific and maybe provide sources for what you know?

(And I really wish people would stop speaking for me. "We all" know nothing of the kind. Actually, I could have just stopped with 'We all know nothing." Unless, maybe... do you know something "we all" don't? Care to share with the class?)

I'd watch that. :popcorn:

Jus' sayin'...

I don't need to be told, that's why I'm telling you to butt out you pompous old woman.

I'm glad you won't be replying as the subject was not only off topic but rather tedious. Good day.

Just an FYI

The use of the word retarded is considered offensive--so much so that legislation has been passed to change the language in federal and state laws.

I work in special education and part of my job is to diagnose people with what was called "mental retardation" until just a few years ago. Now all the official language uses the term intellectual disability.

Not a chance in hell. Dillusional

Just wondering - when did you turn into a Grade A a-hole? Just wondering, like...

Dear god - did everybody take their nasty pills today. All the threads are turning into giant clusterf u c k s.

This thread used to be fun to read. Now I just feel like I'm watching people in junior high at recess.

Apologies.

But the whole thread has got very boring. Which mirrors the situation with Mr Sambora.

And its a Tuesday. The most boring and pointless day of the week. The weekend feeling has worn off and there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Richie needs to tweet...STAT! We need new subjects to discuss. Matt's gone silent also, does he not tweet during the actual tour? Or do I just not read it and care? :)

Jon's probably told them both to ease off the tweeting - stop people (like us) speculating

That's the problem - no new information on the Richie front. And I never looked at Tuesday like that before but I probably will from now on LOL.

That means tomorrow is hump day! Unless you have to work on the weekend and then it's just another boring day like Tuesday. :D

Hump day here now :)

He apparently neglected to tell Phil to stop tweeting. I have to say, I find Phil's tweets very entertaining. That man has a lust for life. It's fun to read his tweets.

I agree, I enjoy his pictures and comments. He's like a regular tourist with his picture taking. :D His recent shots from the helicopter were great.

I really enjoyed this.

That was pretty cool. If he could clone himself, he could go on America's Got Talent!

Maybe we can argue about Jon making fun of David again. That might stir up the thread again.

Hahahah! To this day, I still can't wrap my head around the fact that something like this could really rattle people up.

It's because he makes mistakes every show by not singing in tune or not hitting notes.

He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.

The point is he's obviously joking around. Wow.

Jon smiles like he's sort of joking but you know he was dead serious. I wonder if Jon flogs himself when he makes a mistake. Or maybe he flogs Bobby instead. :D

Nope. He was serious.

When mistakes are made it royally ticks him off. You've seemed to have followed the band long enough to know this.

That is just absurd, we all know Jon taunts Bobby with with moonpies using his telekinetic powers:

Leaving for Europe in 13 and still don't know what places we are going to.. @avasamboraxxoo 😁 oh well! #soexcited 😍

Quit following that child! Jesus!

I know mistakes tick him off. That doesn't mean he wasn't joking around during that interview, which he was obviously doing. The guy set him up with a question like that and he replied the only way one could reply to that kind of question.

Who has to follow her when you have people who retweet. Never mind she obviously wants followers or her account would be private.

The guy obviously witnessed him riding David's ass during sound check for making a mistake. He defended his behavior in the interview. It was serious.

Just saw this gossip item on another forum and thought I'd post it here, just as food for thought:


"Apparently this B list celebrity with A list name recognition has a beef with his former employer. I guess that bridge is never going to be built again because he is telling some truly jaw dropping things about his former employer. Probably a tell all book or maybe he will just leak story after story like this one that will make you really question your sanity. This former A list singer/celebrity has reduced herself to a B- list celebrity who very few people like. It turns out that back in the day, while she was on husband number one that she got to know a certain A list celebrity/singer very well. A very married and supposedly happily married A list celebrity/singer. They worked together. She let it be known that she would have no problems hooking up with the A lister and was not even shy about the way she pursued him. She flat out told him she would **** him anytime she wanted and she didn't care if he was married and her marriage was a joke. One thing led to another and the two actually spent a week hooking up while working and then two or three other times when on the road together before he broke it off. The B- lister just would not leave him alone and was dropping hints that he needed to leave his wife for her and that she was going to talk to his wife. The two have never spoke since.

B list celebrity: Richie Sambora (kicked out of band)
A list female singer/celebrity: LeAnn Rimes
A list male singer/celebrity: Jon Bon Jovi"
