They have been in the business for 30 years, David is not going to tell a friend of his this information about Jon and Richie.

Unless your friend is the band themselves, Dorothea Bongiovi and anyone from management, you know nothing.

Richie didn't come out and say he wasn't going to be at Hyde Park (he even didn't say that he would love to be there either, that was a story going around) by his own will on twitter. He was at a fashion show and the reporter asked him about Hyde Park. If it wasn't that reporter, no one would have known until the band went on stage.

Phil is on stage, Richie is in LA. End of story.

I have another thought. Remember when Richie said he would love to be at Hyde Park? As Hyde Park approached, Richie came out and said he wont be there. After all these rumors about MetLife, you would think he would come out and say he wont be at MetLife.

Get a grip.

People have picked this up as a tease. As a result a lot of people think he is going to be there. His credibility has already take a massive hit, if he doesn't show after this its all gone.

Richie was never going to be in the soundcheck. Even if he doesn't return tonight, there will be a grand entrance wherever it happens.

There is also absolutely no proof that he is in New Jersey. There's no proof that the jetlag tweet had anything to do with a flight TO New Jersey. You're pulling blind theories out of thin air and beating a dead horse.

Your logic is that because lots of people are asking him if he's in New Jersey, that means he's in New Jersey. No, that just means there's a lot of delusional fans (like yourself) with blind hope.

Riddle me this: why would Phil X go on stage for a soundcheck, just to have Richie back for the show tonight?

That is the biggest question right now. And yes, there is no proof he is in New Jersey. And yeah I do have blind hope. Better than no hope I guess :(
Bottom line, there is no point in talking about this any further until they take the stage.(

Dear lord, I hope so. Seeing Bobby in spandex would make all my lifelong dreams come true. :eating:

No specifics.

Who? So your friend actually SAID there'd be a grand entrance? If he's close enough with Dave to get to know some answers to the biggest BJ mystery of the decade, he'd probably be trustworthy enough not to tell you (as in anyone period). There's no proof either way but when the f did we get to him actually saying something about a grand entrance happening tonight?

Originally Posted by OnceUponADime (Post 1147916)

Well he suggested that's what they might do, he never said anything definite. This was his thinking not something Dave told him.

How else would Richie come back? How boring would it be for him just to start playing with no celebration...

Originally Posted by linnea.cfc32_jovibandana (Post 1147917)

Yeah but there's quite a stretch from saying "there'll be a grand entrance whenever he returns" to saying "he'll probably make a grand entrance tonight"

I was thinking the exact same thing. I am shocked at some of the things that people are proposing. Forgive me for being blunt, but it's so... so ****ing moronic. He's not tweeting things to throw everyone off. WHY would he do that? WHEN has he (or anyone in the Bon Jovi universe) ever done that before?

I think some people need a long break from this saga AND this board. I reiterate:

it's just a band.

You lot are getting all riled up by the meaningless tweets and the insanely vague theories and "stories" that this OnceUponADime guy is putting out there. For someone reasonable and sane like myself, it's hilarious to see, really.

Originally Posted by OnceUponADime (Post 1147918)

Absolutely. But its hard to think about Richie returning without a grand entrance of sorts..

Originally Posted by schlochty (Post 1147925)

What makes you think so? The last two times he returned, there was zero grandness to his returns. It was just business as usual.

Originally Posted by OnceUponADime (Post 1147926)

You know I didn't even think of that...but when he was out in 2011 we knew he was in rehab.

This is 4 months, no clarity whatsoever, Saratoga, trash talking, etc....I don't know...it should be grand. The end of a terrible 4 months.

I don't know how to process this.

According to this guy, Richie is in NJ as of last night....

I really hope he is right. I held out until a week ago to get tickets to the 27th as I was waiting for some sort of official news from the band. The whole Hyde Park fiasco didn't help. I got tickets because of this guys information.

Originally Posted by OnceUponADime (Post 1147874)

He does NOT tell him everything. Just about this situation. If I were to mention his name he would be in trouble. And I didn't ask for this, it was volunteered. I mentioned that I have tickets to the 27th, and he said oh well you may want to know about Richie. That's it. As I've said 5 or 6 times I don't completely believe what he is telling me but its better than the negative BS being put out by RadarOnline.

So yesterday you said you only bought tickets because of this info but today the story changed to that he knew you already had tickets so he told you the info. LOL

Everyone, please stop feeding this troll :rolleyes:

Originally Posted by OnceUponADime (Post 1147932)

I meant to type that I wanted to get tickets to the 27th. Had a feeling someone would pick up on that. Sorry I didn't read over my post. After he told me what he told me then I got tickets. My fault, I don't read over what I type sometimes.

In reality I did tell him I had tickets already, even though I didn't have them yet, thinking that would make a difference.

Look, I'm sorry for all of this. It all comes to an end in half an hour anyway so why bother bickering over it...

Also, Lorenza tweeted this:

Well, it's definitely livened up this thread, that's for sure. I suppose I can take the credit, or blame, depending on your POV, for copying the original comment over from the 'comments' section on the Radar Online article. But even so, I think it's good to stimulate discussion, to have more Jovi fans on this site. :)

I've a friend who grooms his dog at the same place as Bobby's gardener.... he said it'll be a KoS gig again this week!

:P

I apologize for wasting everyone's time.

RadarOnline was wrong too. Richie himself said that it will be September and then backtracked even from that on twitter and said they are working on it. He was never going to be at this show, no matter what RadarOnline or you or your friend says.

But when people invest so much time peeking in every single nonexistent source for some information that just isn't there, and twisting it into some complete conspiracy, it makes me think that they should take a step back and realize there are worse things in life.

I'm tired and I can't tell day from night like a baby, but my take on it is he wanted to write: "You know what I've heard? Thursday is the new Friday" as in he's having fun and is out and about with his daughter, so it's as entertaining as if it was a Friday night.

I could be wrong, of course.
