On second thought, they would still be a great opener today, as they have many things alike - age, deteriorating vocals, (ex-)drunk guitarists (oh no, wait, Richie is gone, damnit), ... ;-) |

The problem is David Lee Roth.... The rest of the band is fine! |
What???? This isn't sticky any longer???

Yeah that was me, seemed a bit unecessary really - Richie's absence is pretty well established after two years!

I'm kidding you, of course, but I do laugh about it, because people have been trying to get him out of the Topix discussions ever since they got pissed off at him, but the discussions about him are far more lively than any that have been started about the band. Just as an example, somebody posted about the single being released about 13 hours ago (shortly after it was posted here) and there hasn't been a single reply to it, whereas the thread here has already hit 5 pages. On the other hand, something like the Nikki Lund accustions got responses almost before it was posted. It's nuts! (which is all apropos of nothing, and I'm not sure why I posted it at all other than it's helping me stay awake until 3:45 a.m. Sorry...) |

As far as people posting what/where, there's been a protest among people about posting HERE because of the ads, but now that there's actually something worth talking about--the single--people are actively posting. If you notice HERE, when new threads are started, they are still getting many views, even if they don't get a lot of comments. (FAR more views than elsewhere.) There are also still a lot of people online here, even if they aren't commenting on anything. Also, in regards to people posting elsewhere, people have expressed confusion about "Do I post here or there or both places?" so both places have been pretty dead as far as comments go lately. The Nikki Lund investigation happened before the ad controversy here so you really can't compare the reaction to it to anything that's happened since all the complaints about the ads.

This tope should be a PERMANENT sticky. If people come back in 10 years, they should see this topic straight away. It's a really silly idea to unstick it in my opinion....and there's no reason to do so either!

It may have been an unfortunate comparison to use, but all I was doing was teasing about your agreement with the idea that all things Richie should be moved to the "other bands" forum. I mean, it's not like you've made a secret of your desire to see the band leave him in the dust to go forth and conquer. Seriously, it was just a joke and I certainly never meant to imply that the people who post here were like some of those who sometimes post on Topix, in any way other than their thinking that discussions about Richie should be moved out of Holy Ground. Sheesh! Sorry if I offended. |
Somehow I thought you meant the alternate board--which is also pretty dead.
I don't even know what Topix is as far as the internet goes. I thought that was a women's clothing store in the northeast. Sorry for the confusion. |

i d like to mention my conspiracy theory about jon-bono &edge..
photos surfaced from a bachelorette party where the three rockers happened to be and drink together. through the years there have been many mentions that jon has a friendship or mutual respect and get together once in a while to catch up, from the top of my mind u2 had gone and seen them in 2003 tour, there were a photo in a hotel room in 2005 with jon and u2, jon has mentioned he was texting with bono before their glastonburry appearence in 2009 if i remember correctly and obviously these wont be the only circumstances...(jon visited them in msg yesterday as well) where i m getting to...u2 is a band admitedly looks up to in many levels, even the wrong comment about richie and edge showed that jon looks up to them in many aspects. since they got out and talked i think its highly possible the richie deparure came up. jon has a romantic side, thats why he got the band together in 1992, thats why he never truly tried to make another group. if the relationship between the 2 is in a decent lvl and hasnt reach a breaking point i think sooner or later jon will approach richie and reach his hand. (i am not saying who s wrong or right) watching u2 who are the same 4 guys will probably have an effect on him. richies current state of mind doesnt really help though. |

I have had a sign. Richie is not coming back.
27 years ago, my best friend Julie and I were playing with my grandmother's old jewelry. She had a big blue metal flower pin. Julie wanted to tape it to Richie's hat in one of those huge posters of Jon and Richie that I had hung in my bedroom so we did, never expecting it would actually stick. But it did--for nearly 30 years. All my other Bon Jovi posters have come down and been packed up for years, but that one has been hanging on the back of my closet door for about 15+ years because I always refused to take off the flower pin and pack it away. Today I discovered the flower pin had fallen off. :( It's truly the end of the innocence for me. :( That poster and that pin on the hat symbolized youth/innocence/fun. I'm actually kind of depressed about this. :( |

Though on some level it's sad that he admits the original 5 will never play together again. |

NB: I can't watch the video. |

This article is a repeat of what we'd read before but this part I had not seen before:
"Sambora is no longer a member of the band and will not re-join for forthcoming band tours, Bon Jovi told the media Saturday." http://www.canada.com/entertainment/...#ixzz3jc6Zv4IB |
Richie is doing a album, and then will tour with Orianthi. Richie will not return any time soon. So, Jon says RS will not coming back in the next tours (Asia 2015, World Tour 2016-17).
This thread keeping live. :) |

Don't get me wrong, I believe (and hope) that Jon will keep the door open for Richie, but I'd say Richie's commercial effect is way too marginal that would force Jon to welcome Richie if he otherwise hated the idea. I think if Richie was to come back it would be a lot more related to a) friendship that was once there, and b) loyalty and place in history; not be one of those one-man bands that keeps losing members, like GNR, Whitesnake, Smashing Pumpkins, and be more like like U2. But then again, I didn't expect Jon to continue Bon Jovi brand without Richie for legacy reasons and I was obviously wrong, so here's that. |
