danfan, you're right. I need to remind myself to look for the humor!

ROFLMAO I've started my stopwatch . . .

Agreed.

Richie quit or got fired. I don't care which. Jon won't say so because it will hurt the tour. Richie can't say so because of some legal obligation.

Game's over folks. Nothing more to see here.

Kinda reminds you that it's just a ****ing rock band with 2 old boys going through what every single lead singer/lead guitarist of any major band go through in some way at some point. Whether it's money; musical direction; spotlight sharing; personal dislike or some combination of the above, everyone's been through it from Mick and Keith, Tyler and Perry, Axl and Slash, Waters and Gilmour, Mel C and Posh Spice, Triple H and HBK, Leonardo and Raphael, Meatloaf and Jim, Elton and Bernie.....sorry, too many JDs.

Exactly. And considering that Jovi's always been secretive as hell, there have to be non-disclosure agreements written into the contracts that the band members signed. Probably with hefty monetary penalties if they're broken. I'm guessing Richie CAN'T say much about what this is really about without violating that part of the contract on top what he may have already done by not showing up.

Richie and Jon are not bear. For years I've seen as Jon looks contemptuously to Richie.

Hate has won at love.

I think Ice meant "What Do You Got" - the first single from the Greatest hits record.

Now that the band have hit the European leg of the tour, the fact that Richie isn't part of it doesn't really bother me anymore.
It's almost become comedic with the lack of information and denying of any wrong-doing......

Quite frankly beyond caring about it now.

It's pretty much been said, so Jon doesn't have to say anything. I don't understand that part anymore, not to hurt the tour. Richie has missed all the shows since 3rd April. Phil X is going back to LA when he is on a break in August, that pretty much tells us that he is with the band all through June/July. Jon is doing interviews, Richie is now talking. Whats going to happen, Richie is going to turn up on stage and it will be fine? I think it's long past worrying about hurting the tour.

If you are referring to the infamous "stink eye," Jon's even given that to fans and the band is used to it. The only bright spot in this whole mess for me personally, is the fact that I've had more enjoyment out of reading this board for the past few weeks than in all the time that came before. You guys (and ladies) are wicked and funny even when dissing each other. :D And this thread better make it to page 500 or I will be highly disappointed.
