Maybe its as simple as Richie just wants a bit of time out. He's burned out and feels he's at risk from re-lapse.

2. I'll never understand the whole "Evil Jon wants to make pop records and stops Saint Richie from playing 85 minute solos at every turn." Richie has never expressed a problem with what the band puts out, he spouts off numbers and accolades just as much as Jon does, and every track on his recent solo album (for better worse) could have fit on any of the last 5 Bon Jovi albums. So no, I don't think if Richie returns it will lead to some kind of mutiny. |

In response to the Press conference video, I admit I bash Jon alot but I figure he's right to put some pressure on Richie to at least shed some light on why he isn't there. |

I see from the AEG e-mail I just got that they are now doing "lucky dip" tickets for the UK shows which probably says a lot about sales, buy a £45 ticket and you may get standing, or GC or even DC.

I think it's sounding more and more like Richie rang Jon up, told him it's not the same anymore and he just wants time off. 'He didn't turn up and he will be back when he wants to be.' sort of thing.
Jon has the whole 'the show must go on' personality and obviously isn't THAT fussed. If he's back, he's back. He wants him back, but he knows he has Phil X to back him up if he doesn't come back. That isn't good enough, though. Richie really needs to pull his finger out. |
I;d say it seems pretty obvious at this point this is all Richie. For whatever reason, he doesn't want to be in the band right now. Just sucks he couldn't have decided that before they released the album and started the tour.
He's a big boy. If he'd prefer to play his solo stuff to crowds of about 100 people every night instead of Bon Jovi music to 50,000, have a ball. Personally, it's starting to sound to me like Richie's being a whiny little bitch over the failure of Aftermath. |
