Who are we to tell people how to dress or how to cut their hair? God forbid anybody has thier own styles. Do we all need to conform as we get older and dress and cut our hair how society expects us to instead of how we want to? Screw that....

Bruce was always an everyday man and always dressed pretty low key. Richie, Keith Richards, Joe Perry and their like were all rock stars to the extreme. That's part of who they are. They are never going to be Jeans and T-shirts guys. That's just not who they are, and it baffles me that people don't see that!?

Hey, Butters said it himself: Rockstars are supposed to give zero ****s, do what they want, say "faggot" and cut their hair the way he wants them to.

Interesting that Orianthi and Richie got back together.

Anyway, just wanted to share a thought, since Ava is all grown up, couldn't he just return to the band?

He could release his solo album which is postponed for some reason for a while now and then move on and join Bon Jovi again.

From the interviews that he's done recently it doesn't sound like that is something he's really interested in, at least at the moment.

No doubt there is more to the split then we know, I think there are still a few wounds that would need to heal before this happened.

Always thought this. The fanbase goes after the ones that gush over Jon's hair and ass but we're not that different if we're commenting on the physical side as well. Richie has always been a....larger than life guy fashion wise.

He looks well, seems happy and came across really well in the interview. Comments i've seen on social media about it (outside of Bon Jovi circles) has been very positive. I've no intrest in the way he does his hair or the way he chooses to dress...that's his choice. No one says to Keith Richards or Joe Perry that they need to start dressing like old men? How ridiculous...

He's been through a lot since Aftermath and he's also quite a bit older...people change and people age, some folks just can't seem to deal with it. I guess if people can't claim that he's drunk they need to find fault elsewhere...

And yes age is a factor, not everyone ages the same rate and Nikki has been clean living for many years, which does make a difference. We also have no idea what other health issues people may or may not have been through. We all know that Richie partied hard and that has an effect on the body long term, especially as you get older, but i've been through that on here many times, certain people just choose to ignore it...

People who are looking for Richie to look and act exactly as he did ten years ago are always going to be dissapointed. I know that I am not exactly the same person that I was ten years ago.

Great post. Agreed 100%.

Richie Sambora on Highs and Lows of Touring with Bon Jovi: 'You're Getting Paid to Be Away from Family'

https://people.com/music/richie-samb...g-away-family/

I've just watched People's video and when talking about music, Richie just makes me think of Donald Trump. Some "amazing" dropped here and there but literally zero substance behind the words.

As for the music itself, I hope he'll finally manage to release something on his own after all this time. AOTL and US were trainwrecks but Stranger was quite a good album.

It was a People interview. It was never going to give us anything new or interesting with regards to the music. Comparing him to Trump is laughable...

You could see the pride in him when he was talking about Ava, which was the main focus of the interview really. You don't get much more substance than that.

Ok, we are clearly coming from different places. Stranger was quite good is a bit of an understatement!? AOTL and US were far from trainwrecks. But each to their own....
