At the moment, I just wish Richie left the band so that he may bless us on a more regular basis with his heavenly inspiration. I listen to World right now, greatest Bon Jovi tune in years, for sure! The guitar is truly amazing on this one, I can see why it took 14 years to be completed! I'm glad to see how good Richie can be when he's unleashed. Evil Jon!

That way you crack a whole new market, the under 14s - therefore you're relevant. Harry wouldn't need to be able to play guitar because Bon Jovi don't have guitar in their songs anymore and there would be no danger of rehab because he isn't old enough to drink. |

I think the album is easy to the ears totally (musically it is not very complicated - but for people liking the classic rock bands from the 80's it is too easy too formatted for a not too demanding audience who wants romance and crafted quick and cheap and it is mellow ... I am quite speechless that none of the guys mention Richie and booze or bimbos but just issues with the whole system. It seems to me that this time what I call *the bon jovi machine propaganda* didn't work |

The new band could be to Bon Jovi what Wings were to the Beatles? Or get one of Little Mix in? |
So, update me then. Something about Tom Cruise replacing Bobby, Richie's joined a cult, and Dorothea and One Direction's Harry to join?
Right, thanks. Need to keep up to speed :) Andi |

The act will be known as Jimi No-Trix. His playing will be better suited to it. |
Matthew Bongiovi @MatthewBongiovi 1m
Folks it's up to Richie to make an official statement and nobody else. He WILL be back on the road |

I worry for this country........ Then again, if kids these days are trying to be pop stars instead of getting an education, it's no wonder they are thick as.... Along the same lines, and still way off topic - I believe on of the trending topics on Twitter testerday was either "nowthatchersdead" or "nowthatchersgone" (can't remember which), resulting in lots of people thinking that either Cher or Cher Lloyd had died! |

This is a cluster ****. Do they not realise there's at least five of us who won't go to the shows without Richie? They need to say when he'll be back or at least say they don't know.

"I don't know who this Richie Sambongo is but if he's hurt Jon physically or emotionally I WILL KILL HIM AND EVERY ONE OF YOU." I swear I saw that on a t-shirt once. |

That is the definition of a casual fan. They played Sweet child of mine, paradise city and ''the big long one with the cool video'', so she was happy! I am sure there are the equivalent Bon Jovi casual fans who are just as clueless. Andi |

"This is the first time i listen to you guys. I am sorry to say I won't be leaving a 4 star review on Itunes because it is clear that you are not well prepared for your show, some of the dates your mentioned are off, some of the examples you used are irrelevant and most of your show is based on assumptions, stereotypes and rumors." |
A friend has been trying to convince me that Richie left the band for sure, and then sent me a link to a tabloid article as a proof. Later he admitted that maybe I know more to the story than what was written in that article. It was basically a summary of what TMZ had published.
Some have asked me how I felt about it, but they didn't really care about the story itself. People in my circle who know what's going on only know it because I can't stop whining since last week. I think there are plenty of people in Europe that wouldn't notice Richie's absence and those who don't care. It wasn't once that people approached me, said they were fans and started talking about Bon Jovi, and then they referred to them as "he". :rolleyes: Never talked to them again. :lol: And my friends know that one of the easiest ways to tick me off is to refer to band's work as Jon's. The situation is getting a little bit out of hand, if Richie wants to keep things private, fine, but let us know WHEN he is coming back, not just that he will be back... Preferably not through Matt's tweets... |

It felt more like one of our threads on Jovitalk actually. Ah well, it's not like it was on national radio or anything, so I needn't be too fussed. Andi |

What I can't understand or forgive is a journalist writing the first sentence in this article which makes no sense from a grammatical point of view or from a factual point of view. http://www.businessinsider.com/richi...vi-tour-2013-4 |
I hate to say it, but in this case I agree with Matt.
It's clear that whatever the issue is - it is Richie's to talk about and no-one from Bon Jovi is going to break their silence over it. It's that brotherhood mentality. Whatever it is - I'd imagine the last thing Richie wants is to be dealing with the press and the crazy Bon Jovi fans, which is why except from one tweet attempting to calm the hysteria, which didn't work at all, we've heard nothing from him. It's probably a shitstorm in a teacup. Except the repercussions of it could be far reaching - I doubt whatever the issue is would spell the end for the band, but all this chaos surrounding it could make any band member just decide they don't need this sort of drama anymore. |

Hopefully BonJoviFan14 won't take it personally and will keep posting.[/QUOTE]
Thank you to those that stuck up for me its appreciated, I will be sticking around maybe just more in the background! Loving the thread, very entertaining. :) |

1. "Because We Can" Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Billy Falcon 4:00 2. "I'm With You" Bon Jovi, John Shanks 3:44 3. "What About Now" Bon Jovi, Shanks 3:44 4. "Pictures of You" Bon Jovi, Sambora, Shanks 3:58 5. "Amen" Bon Jovi, Falcon 4:12 6. "That's What the Water Made Me" Bon Jovi, Falcon 4:25 7. "What's Left of Me" Bon Jovi, Sambora, Falcon 4:35 8. "Army of One" Bon Jovi, Sambora, Desmond Child 4:34 9. "Thick as Thieves" Bon Jovi, Sambora, Shanks 4:57 10. "Beautiful World" Bon Jovi, Falcon 3:48 11. "Room at the End of the World" Bon Jovi, Shanks 5:02 12. "The Fighter" Bon Jovi 4:37 |

Bobby Bandiera stole many Richie's solo during the shows, i believe it was a Jon's idea about additional guitarist

I'm just pointing at how little Richie had to do with this album, whether it was his choice or not that I don't know. |
