This song it seems to be somewhat dark, but I'm sure Richie find some light, a positive message. He's going to play it from New Jersey forum on drug abuse. I don't think that it be against Jon's optimism.

Probably smells just like one too!

That response is all that was needed to put an end to speculation. All it would have taken is Richie putting that out as a statement followed by a response from Jon saying we'll miss him but the band will complete the tour without him - Job done.

Don't think he will unless it's a "true" emergency - He had to do the dutiful Dad remark but the entire time he was in OZ he never even mentioned missing her. He was having "fun" I think. :rolleyes: He did talk about her but just why he left BJ context or general parental brag, which he should.

Pedantic for the sake of it sure, but Richie is saying he co-produced but wrote the songs. Didn't he co-write the songs too?

Jeez, Rich, get rid of those damn f*cking sneakers - they look hilarious (as does his wig and the mustache)...

EDIT: I meant slippers or what they are called, not sneakers of course ;-)

Why does Richie often lean forward in pics he is posing for with other people?

Richie looks like he's farting in photos.
Jon looks like he's shitting when singing.

LOL :))))))))))))))).
I always wondered why Jon started doing those stupid faces,he looks like a constipated old man and I think that's a very bad technique.Just try pulling your mouth up like he does and try singing like that,you will se why Jon pronounces the words so bad.Here's an example


At 5:30 why the hell does he do that?It's not even a high note or anything,I think it's just a stupid habbit that he developed over the years,just like Takemyheen,dead or halive,heimeeen(amen),shot through the haa etc.

Richie's voice is high in the mix in that example and sounds so much better than Jon's. He is older than Jon so it can't be just a age thing. I don't know if Richie has given up smoking yet (as Jon did before the Circle tour) so it can't just be that. Jon has overused his voice-- a lot of rock artists do -- and doesn't take care of it as he should. Some concerts are too close together and at least during the Circle tour, he was giving a ton of interviews to different media outlets about music, politics, football and his Soul Kitchen on top of singing. The more you talk and sing, the more you stress your voice. And it has been going on for 30 years. The BWC tour w/o Richie really stressed his voice. He got a break in terms of interviews because he just doesn't get the media interest as in the past (plus he also probably didn't want to give a lot of interviews so as to not address the Richie situation).

The difference in how he looks then and now is HUGE. Part of it of course is his hair, but its like he has aged 10 years over the last 2.

Hair is a lot of it (which I addressed on another thread) but age is tricky--it is harder to recover from long hours, travel and hard work. In these last months Richie has been working on new music, touring Australia, recording, getting ready to tour again, promoting his upcoming gigs, etc. Now he is on the road again. He is probably not going to the gym, not sleeping enough, not as careful with his nutrition. However, once before he managed to go from an overweight mess to someone trim and fit so perhaps he can do it again. I don't think he sounds drunk--he has never been as careful and articulate as Jon.

The Answer (Great Performance)

richie keeps messing up the same parts in the answer...i am a big fan but i m always a bit diassapointed with his sloppiness....its your song and you have all the time to practise it...still the same mistakes...if it wasnt the piano the mistakes would be more obvious

I meant the vocal performance, not perfect, but great for me.

I remember when I visited this thread more than Netflix.

Call me naive but is Richie really getting with Orianthi ?

Haven't followed this thread but in a dutch interview Richie says he wants to be the frontman of a band. He also says there was too much hassle within BJ. He wants to improvise on stage. Blahblehbluh

Cool Poster but massive mistakes with the Irish, NI & Glasgow venue names. :rolleyes:

Mine is correct....

What do you mean ?????

Richie looks like a drunk, stoned and washed out Willy Wonka. :|

:eggface: haha

Love this poster.

Seems the missprinted ones are sold online whilst the ones sold at the shows arw correct

I just think he looks like someone in his mid-50s who is really tired--too tired to put on an act for the camera. I remember once in an interview when he said that friends want to visit him in his dressing room after the show and it gets to be 2AM and he is thinking to himself that he just wants to go to bed and sleep. I am sure in his 20s and 30s he could be up all night and if he wanted friends to leave it wasn't to go to bed and *sleep*. ;)

That suit isn't doing him any favours. :splat:

Seriously, he gets douchier with every interview. He wasn't even asked about Bon Jovi or that average band of his, yet he still managed to inject a dig, completely uncalled for.

I really regret buying a ticket for the Dublin show.

These two should be beating each other up because of the half arsed performances thus far.
