Quite a few people.

I would give a fuck to Orianthi. :p

Is Richie using his black 80s Kramer in the pics?

Maybe yes, maybe not.

The drummer looks like a dope with those headphones on.

There is a Richie interview in the German "Bild" newspaper (which is known for exaggerating everything btw), but I'll just take down the facts that are "new".

- Richie states that 30 years with BJ were like a good marriage, but Jon always was the boss and didn't want to sing about certain topics that were concerning Richie (he states that "broken hearts" are his topic)

- after the dead of his father and the divorce he thought he couldn't get through a day without a drink to keep him away from the harsh reality.

- he hired a mediator that helped him and his family to find their way to each other again and, according to him, Heather and he are getting along better now than they ever did during their marriage

- he laughingly stated that nowadays his female fans are getting older as well and not many are asking for his room number anymore

- in this interview BJ's last tour was 18 months and 58 countries :D I'm curious about when we will crack the mark of 60 countries for the Circle tour...

Interesting part. But... not Who Says, Richie, not in the setlist please.

Aloha !

When seeing Richie like this you can't help but feel sorry for him. He's trying so hard yet comes across as a poser. It feels just as genuine as Jon's smile after murdering These Days.

Yeah, Bad habits are contagious.

Hahah. Richie starts looking bad? Must have caught it from Jon.

This video keeps crashing when I try to watch it. Anyone want to summarize it?

Same old same old. Richie bragging about how many million records sold and playing for millions of people, him walking from the band because he wanted to get back to his family and get back to a solo career, plus he's pushing the fashion line and talking in his usual "silly voice". (and sounding a bit out of it)

He sounds and looks wasted too. The alcohol must have damaged his brains. Poor dude.

It's online:

I think the most interesting part is him not correcting the interviewer (or it was cut) when he states that he quit Bon Jovi.

Richie looks fine IMO, yeah he's a drunk but I can't hold it against him since he always was and when he was in top form we all cheered for him and nobody gave a **** if he had one drink too many.

Should we give the ugliest legs award to Orianthi right now or are we waiting for someone else?

The word stumpy comes to mind :p

Maybe he can hire that mediator for him and Jon! ;)

Maybe he's protecting his hearing...or can't play without listening to a click track... :rolleyes:

just watched the rumorfix interview and i ll just attempt to see between the lines...richie decided to leave the band mid tour but from his statements back then it was obvious that after he had a small break he wanted back and at that point jon obviously had decided against it...
for me its obvious that they are both angry, richie wants to be back but probably prefers a different pace in order to do some things in his own way...jon probably felt betrayed by his right hand man and obviously keeps a grudge...we are talking here about a guy who followed jon for years and by his words wanted to keep him happy..they have to sort many things out but personally i believe thatrichie would return in a heartbeat if he felt some love&respect from the guys...he is obviously insecure and hurt.
especially the last part, where nikki lund said it will happen imo reflects richies true wishes, richie is too proud/cocky to admit it publicly but her saying that imo tells the whole story. this interview may be some months old but imo is clear that richie wants to be back, there are many things unsolved and may richie comes out as a dick sometimes but his album and mini tour and upcoming tour strengthens his position.
all these are assumptions but this video gave me some more hope..jon has to be the bigger man here and realise that some things have to change in the future. the band would never happen, thrive and still be here without him but if he wants to keep the band together he has make some right choices in the next 1-2 years.

Nikki looking pretty hot. Thats all I really have to add.

NOOOOOO SHE'S PERFECT!!! D: D: D:

My understanding is that this interview took place last week. Apart from that I totally agree with all you said.

I think what we have here are two men who have a communication problem for quite some time now (even when Richie was still with them) and I guess they need much more time to sort things out. There´s really no reason to make those final decisons now.

for sure they shouldnt rush into anything in order to promote the deluxe editions etc...jon is a smart guy, he is a romantic as well, he could pursuit a solo career back in 1990 instead he wanted the band back, i m confident he will approach richie. but richie shouldnt come back like he lost, some of the dynamics have to change, they ll never be a band of equals, but everyone has to be expressed in order to work. i believe they still have some good songs in them and they always thrived as an underdog.

His mouth looks weird in this interview and he's playing with his hair like a girl.

mmm....cant see any difference in his moronic attitude, myself.

Alice Cooper, Orianthi, Richie Sambora.

Still using the Bon Jovi box thing. No idea what to call it.

Richie has just put up on twitter that he is writing for his new song with a photo with a notepad and his guitar in his kitchen.

Songwriting moves to the kitchen... Working on the new song.

Rehearsing for tomorrow's town hall event in Jersey. Strumming on one of the first 12strings ever made given to me by Charles Kamen himself.

Bon Jovi box thing? Are you referring to the talkbox?

He's referring to the equipment case to the left of Richie that has the Bon Jovi logo on it.

Thanks. I was confoosed. :) (I really need my eyes checked. I didn't see a BJ logo. I thought that was some kind of wolf/tiger-ish logo or something until you pointed it out.)

Richie looks like a hobo.

Anyone see the tweet that said "already missing my daughter"

Bet he won't walk out of this tour!

...:onfire:
JUST watched the 10 sec clip...did he said you cant ktf??? i m not sure but if thats what he said looked like a girlish respond to jons eternal lyric optimism...:confused:

So Richie isn't taking credit for KTF then

Not this week but who knows what he'll say next week...

Video. Rehearsal. New song. 10 seconds.
