It would also depend how far along the project got before it was abandoned. It for sure is an odd track listing, Considering neither US or Stranger had "hits" I think anything typical goes out the window. Though of these 14 songs

Stranger - 3
US - 4
Soundtracks - 2
Unreleased - 3 (if intended for release after the box set) or 4 (if intended for release pre)

One Last Goodbye was fall of 2002 and since that was written for The Banger Sisters, as is my understanding, and the timeline of the rest, that puts this project past that quote I think?

I don't think the running order really flows as a genuine "best of" either. Too many slow numbers and, for instance, All That Really Matters being as early as track 3 and then running into In It For Love just doesn't work in my opinion.

Shit, when is it going to be launched the new Sambora album? I like all the snippets, I need to hear those songs and the rest of the album.

The song Great Hall Of Fame was written on 27/04/1996, it is signed by Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Richie Supa.

This song, if I remember correctly, was written on 11/23/1996. It was recorded a couple of times, maybe once or twice. I think I remember that it was replaced by one of the songs listed on the Undiscovered Soul record.

!!!!! Thanks! What's your connection to all of this if you don't mind me asking?

EDIT: Disregard, saw your other thread. Welcome!

I thought I would have to be undercover, that's why I screwed up my name on the profile

simply wonderful.

Great song. Thanks for sharing [emoji106]

Very nice! Reminds me of To Be with You

I'm hearing What Do You Got in the intro. Vocals sound weird, though, almost Keith Richards-ish at times.

Amazing song! Somehow It doesn't appear on file with that tittle. Maybe it was registered with a different name :confused: BTW Richie is not the greatest writer on earth... I was checking on tapes and some songs from 2000 werer writen on 1980.

But somehow I'll need to put an eye on it. It sounds from the "On The Line" eon.

Would it be in the realm of possibility to get a list of what you have? Would love to see what song titles are out there and from when!

Oh Boy!!!! it's like finding a needle in a straw!!!! lol well, not that bad.
It'll take a couple of hours maybe but it's saturday and these headphones are hurting my ears!!!

Listen, I'm going to the studio on Monday, ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Too much to listen to that easily :D:D:D:D

Most of Richie's stuff were recorded on tapes so it'll take to clean out the dust to be able to see... Will let you know

No pressure! You're probably sitting on a bunch of gems that might never see the light of day. The amount of unreleased Richie songs from 1996 to current day must be staggering.

US started from 1996. Some songs were recorded with Bon Jovi Band but disregarded for brand issues. I'm not a lawyer but still, it all depends on that.

However, there was a well known song called "Forever" which was writen by Jon and Richie, Then Richie gave it to that japanesee singer Takashi Sorimachi but it was originally a Bon Jovi song.

Ohhh yeah super aware of that one but had NO idea it was a JBJ/RS song. Cool!

It was was listed to be recorded but it was not used by the end of the day.
I'll say Mercury Records remixed it.

Judging by Richie's latest tweet it does seems like he is still holding off releasing the album because of the pandemic so who knows when we might get it at this rate... :

"Hoping all my friends, fans and fam are havin great big fun and safety this holiday weekend..I love ya’LL, and when Mother Nature gets done having her way with us, I’m gonna need ya to play, sing and entertain, so keep a watchful eye stay safe… Big Love, Richie"

I know he always big ups Richie's stuff as they are close friends, but it's also worth noting that Little Steven shared the post and added this:

"He’s got a new album coming you are not going to believe! If you’re not familiar with Richie’s previous great solo work get ready to be knocked out!"

Nice to read everything about Don wroteup to now, we are discovering a lot of things from that time.

One question for Don, Any demo/outtake that was discarded and you felt that it was cool?, you know, that was great and should have made the album.

What a week! we've been converting analog tapes into digital and it's been a mess since the DAT player is broken.

To answer your question: yes. I'd stick to the original demo of if god was a woman it was that kind of Country Blues with the slide guitar solo and the accordion filling up but anyway, that was the main issue because it was no commercial at all but hey! I'm sharing some tracks soon so hold on teddy bear!

That will be f***ing cool mate.
:-D

Sure it will.

Someone requested something related to a list of what I got and i'm not a collector but there certain songs that are still at my studio.

Guys I'm still trying to get the whole track names but since some belong to Mercury Records so I won't be able to share.

I can ask Was for some kind of license or whatsover to share. I hope I won't cause a problema with copyright breaches. Let me know if there's something I can help with.

Make sure you understand that some songs were sent over tape recorded from some rehearsing show

holy ****! Numb (With Chris Cornell)? Duet? backing vocals? oh my god. I love Chris Cornell.

That's simply amazing Don!! Thanks for all the work...hope we can hear this in some time! :D

What a freaking exciting day, thanks Don.

If I can ask, what made you say "All of Us (I Believe Jon used this one on his solo album)". Timeline wise this would mean it was for Destination Anywhere, something with no Richie co-write credits. Would be VERY Interesting to hear what song became that.

Downside of Love (Strings Version) got my attention the hardest, love that song.

Starting to take all of this with a grain of salt. I apologize in advance if it's actually real, but I've seen this kind of fake before and it's becoming shockingly similar, especially that track list.

Plus, that pciture from the post:
https://drycounty.com/jovitalk/bon-j...st1275246.html

...is actually a picture from a web shop with something unreadable edited into it:
https://shopotam.ru/catalog/Musical_...3733-item.html

Same here. I've been hesitant to believe all this from the start, because some things didn't really add up in my eyes and I've witnessed these kinda situations, where people claimed to have insider knowledge even though they really didn't, before, so I generally take these kinda things with a huge grain of salt until there's actual substantial evidence that the person is telling the truth.

If I'm wrong and this is all real - my sincere apologies. But for now I'm still very hesitant to believe any of this.

I've kept quiet on this so far as something felt off from the first post. He didn't come across as professional sounding and no one who was would consider sharing this kind of stuff in a fan group. It all just sounded like fan fiction. The whole thing about signing up under a misspelt name to be anonymous and then announcing who he was also seemed a little odd. The photoshop image kinda put the nail in the coffin. Sorry. not buying it. Feel free to prove me wrong though...

Here's how a certain fake user had tried to trick fans into misleading this back in 2012. Seems all too similar:

Check out this from Richie's Instagram - too short notice for me, but surprise show next Monday in London, also previewing the new album:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CT4WDMlFtH7/

Hey UK! I’m playing a very intimate show in west London this coming Monday, the 20th September at a great spot called Bush Hall. A surprise show, just like how we used to do things.
I’d love to see some of you there, tickets are on sale right NOW. (link in bio)
All proceeds from the show to @wearefamilyfdtn

Ticket link:
*Edit* It is now sold out*

Oh dude, So the wheel starts to roll.

Checked out the capacity. 350 seats. Lucky folks.

Aloha !

It looks like his hair is trying to escape his head. You just can't look past that.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Lmao, yep. Richie's always in his 1980s mode it seems like as much as we'd prefer him in the '90s mode.
Guess what's weirder, I clicked on the comments and saw Nikki Lund's comment on how Richie's always giving back to the community. Didn't she sue him for threatening to kill her or something?

Worth noting that this show is for Nile Rodgers charity. Nile is on tour in the UK the same week, with a day off on Monday. I would say that there is a 100% chance of him showing up to jam with Richie.

Any lucky Jovitalker is going to Richie Sambora's secret acoustic show?

The show is going to start soon
