I don't have time to keep searching youtube for it. It's OK, it's not his songs, just admit it.

Completely agree.

Phil, a professional, but still has much to learn.

Richie, a ****ing drunk, but not bad.

Irony?
 

Ya know what's funny to me? Richie claims to have been burnt out and needed a break-- which is probably true-- but I've seen more of him than I ever did before he quit the tour. He's everywhere. Doing everything. Jamming with fabric is a lot of work. So much for that break...

I'm also shocked the first comment on this video hasn't been deleted:


Seems pretty spot on.

Richie is in bad shape, but it does not more hurt that Jon singing "under pressure" with The King of Suburbia or Amen, make no mistake.

Richie can to be fit again, he always comes back.

Probably he needed a break from 'Bon Jovi', not from breathing air.

He wanted to do the hell whatever he wants... except Tour with Bon Jovi.

I have heard and seen all of those performances before. There's a slip up of a semitone that happens during the Dublin one on the first solo. Other than that, not a single note was off key or out of the song. Sure, it wasn't the exact copy of Richie's solos, he didn't play them with the same intensity or even emotion, he held on to some notes longer but quickly went down the scale, he saved a the first TD solo after he basically had nowhere to go after the first 4 bars. But to say those are **** ups?? That's just an ignorant remark to make, ****ing up a solo is playing notes out of key and flubbing up without a single not for more than a second which Richie often do. Just admit it, you don't like him, and that's fine, but ****ing up the solos he is not. It's just your personal preference. Go ahead, admit it.....

Here are pics of Richie in NYC:

This will be my last post regarding this bullshit because honestly you guys have no ****ing clue what you're on about. You're just regurgitating the same "Richie is awesome Phil X ****s up!" comments in as many ways as you can find. For the last ****ing time, He didn't **** up those solo's!! That's what the argument is about, not about who is better, it's about how yes he does play them differently but no, that doesn't mean he's ****ing them up! They are not to your liking, that is fine!!! But he is not ****ing the solos up!!!

Come on people, comparing Phil X to Richie is pretty damn pointless in this way. Richie didn't leave because Phil was replacing him. Richie went, Phil is the stand in. Mutually exclusive events. Him doing a very admirable job does not detract from anything Richie has done in the past. The "Who's best" argument is pointless and irrelevant. Just be thankful that we have an adequate stand-in who not only does a decent job but is having a blast and actually giving back to the fans through social media, as opposed to being stuck with Bobby on lead.

The guy in your avatar. What's his name? I've been trying to think of his name for days now.

Easy Sly, easy...

Bobby playing solos anyway.

Their sound is unmistakable. :(

Sorry, been out of the loop for a while, so I'm guessing the Austrailian Today show clip was posted. Honestly, Richie is a big goddamn baby and he's full of shit. 24/7 for 30 years. With what band? From 1984 to 1990 that's a valid point, but from February of 1990 to December of 1991, the band was apart. From 1992-1996, OK, sure. But seriously dude, stop bitching about the "24/7" shit. At least half of that time is spent making the records. You know what that's called Richie? A job. And a damn good one. We all have them. At the end of the day, you go home to your family. And with a shitload lot more money than any of us, so pardon me if I don't dry for you Argentina. From 1996-2000, again, no band. Any time "away from his family", his call. And yeah, from 2000 on it has been album-tour, but again, you've got a box set in there in 2004, where they weren't around. You've got a GH record after the Circle Tour. Jesus, the guy's had more time off than any of us have had in our lives. I agree they maybe should have taken more time off after the last tour, but he should have come to this realization that he didn't want to be a part of it from the get-go. You don't call in sick one day and decide you're taking the next 6 months off. And don't use the "I wanna be a Daddy" excuse either when you're traveling the world with some blonde bimbo playing Ken and Barbie for the fashion world.

You have put into words what has been in the back of my mind for some time. I've spent way too much time focused on this drama that has nothing at all to do with my life. I'll see Bon Jovi with or without Richie. And I'll enjoy the shows.

Following this train wreck of a story makes my life look calm and wonderful and peaceful in comparison. And perhaps I should be focusing on my own very imperfect life and let the Jovi drama play out as it will.

As you said, I'll treasure the memories that I have, but I need to let go of the voyeuristic interest in Richie and his role, or lack thereof, in the band.

That was a cute video. I've never seen it before. You are right - Jon didn't have much of a sense of humor about the guitar malfunctions :)

Richie Sambora @TheRealSambora 1h
spent some time with the beautiful @LadyGaga for #ArtPop : love her. Performance, breathtaking. New songs amazing
https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...10240278_n.png

was thinking the same. He said he has quit the tour to be a dad etc but the lying ****ers never home.

He has quit the tour because he was tired of it AND to spend more time with Ava.

For a few months you didn't hear anything from him so I guess he was spending this time with his daughter, driving her to school etc. Remember about that.

Now Richie is more active, I don't see anything wrong with that but I guess you want him to be a prisoner in his own house just because he is not with Jon now.


and hi, it's my first post here.

I can't argue with any of that. He's very privilaged to get paid extremely well to do a job that he loves, no sympathy from me. In fact, since he joined twitter, cancelling shows, ill all the time. bailing on tours etc. He comes accross as nothing but very spoilt and far removed from his fans. Needs a serious reality check.

HAHA! Its so true.

that wanted performance he did was terrible. Guy looks ****ed!

No I want him to get back on tour if he's done being a dad for a while.

No, just.....no. Did she even know who the hell he was?

Yes:


@ladygaga: @TheRealSambora im still recovering from hanging out with you backstage. LEGEND I can die a happy deranged dreadlocked grandma!

Ok, my thoughts on all this Richie seems to be traveling a LOT for someone who wanted to be Dad. I understand not wanting to leave sometimes but most of us can't afford that option. But, he has a Joint Custody Agreement with Heather - simply put Ava is only at his home 1/2 of the time - so if he traveled 3.5 months out of the last 7 - depending if time she was gone anyway - a moot point. I don't believe that to anyone except the few over the tops - this is the entire story. To me, it's not that he is out and about but the where, what and whom that seems a bit unusual. On tour, you don't decide when you travel, a promoter does. Now, he has put his foot in his mouth so much lately, it's easy to criticize every move. (IE: 8 years sober got a lot of us, reality maybe 8 years in the battle) To me, it's as if he is having a mid-life crisis. For a celebrity - that has to be a bitch. Be glad if/when it passes.

Glad I am not the only one who thought so. All of his recent performances seem so forced to me.

Hah, what a misleading headline.

I wonder if they got coked up together?

Good to know. :D

Not as much as "Always" on this tour.

Yeah jon singing night after night sure did get the best of him, what's Richies excuse?

I have had it with you, and now I am off to see if this forum has an ignore function

Help...I heard an interview (at least I'm sure I did) where Richie was explaining why he left the tour and said something along the lines of "I'm sure the rest of the band aren't too happy with me about it but I don't care - it's something I needed to do". Does anybody remember which interview this was??

This one

Not a very impressive line from him at all to be fair.

Another pic of @ladygaga and I goofing off. The new record's a total groundbreaker. She's beautiful inside and out!

I was just giving my review on the matter. If it's any consolation, I too am forced the last performances of Richie. He is in low shape, but will recover.

I admit I'm as a pain in the ass, sometimes. I apologize, JoviJovi.


Do you want to be my friend again?
