Interesting read about Mr. Bluesman from Eric's point of view.

Thanks for sharing!

This is awesome, thanks for sharing!

I wonder how many rockstars of that stature would be as humble to say things like these in public.

Yeah, remember reading it a few years back. Must have been fascinating for Ol' Rich to have Mr Slowhand obliging him, and what a nice way to approach/request!
Anyway, here's a fresh article with Herman Li (Dragonforce) where he's asked about guitar solos and individual tastes, and he mentions Richie:
"The first time I heard a guitar solo, which was Richie Sambora on a Bon Jovi song, I thought, 'Man, I love this sound. What is it?'

I was about to post this :D Good to see Richie getting some recognition. I wonder which song it was?

Hehe, could have been any of the hits, all the solos back then were top notch stuff without reeking of overplaying.
Both the guitar guys from Dragonforce have mentioned Richie as an influence. Here's the other player (Sam Totman) a few years ago:
"Most of our songs are 200 beats per minute but we've got some that are 220 and 240 now. OK, you've got a really fast lead but you can hear a really fast lick in a Bon Jovi song.
Maybe not for quite as long as in a Dragonforce song but he (Richie) still plays some really fast stuff. So I think it's more constant speed. It's not like we're Impellitteri or something where we're the fastest guitar players ever.

I heard the next RSO album is going to be called: "Too Much Filter..." >_< jaja (I'm joking)

A new article, but nothing new.

Love the clickbait title.

Graduating from Loyola Marymount is nothing to sneeze at. She obviously has done well for herself and for that I am glad. For all my anger at Richie for the way he left, he seems like a good Dad and that is important.
