I didnt realise youd already seen them this tour but after seeing them last night id definitely go again with or without RS. I just dont see him coming back tbh and i wouldnt give up on them if he didnt. Could have the best of both worlds one day,Jovi and Sambora tours to attend.

Aloha !

Most Bon Jovi fans only go see Sambora live because he's the guitarist of Bon Jovi. Once Sambora leaves Bon Jovi most will see no reason anymore to go visit any of his shows. There's not been any solo tour so far that actually made him any money.

For me that would be the case. There's just not that many solo songs of Riche I absolutely love. There's definitely a few, but if I was going to see any member of the band solo it would be Jon, because he wrote the songs that I fell in love with before I even knew there was a Bon Jovi.

Aloha !

Given up hope on Richie being at Hyde Park. IOW is arguably the more "special" date considering its history and the fact they've never played the festival before. If he was going to return it would surely be for that.

Seeing the JBJ ft Tico, Dave, Hugh, Bobby and Phil X show on Weds - if its any good I'll try and get cheap tickets on the day for Hyde Park. I'm certainly not paying full price for an incomplete band.

Agree.......

In answering fan questions, Phil X has said that he is "not a member of Bon Jovi", just filling in. Also, when asked if he was a permanent member of Bon Jovi he said "I'm just filling in and helping out." For what its worth. I still believe that at some point Richie will be back and that it isn't a problem with the band but actually a personal matter.

Just got on the computer. Wow, lots of stuff to catch up with here.

Thank you! So that's gotta be LA, I guess...

Right! What was I thinking?!? LOL

THIS.

You're right, I don't know why Richie isn't there but I'm not judging him for it (or anyone else in the band for that matter), which I think is objective. And since I wasn't quick to judge, I'm not going to look like the asshole.

I absolutely agree with you. I don't understand how so many people seemed to miss your point completely. It's not about supporting Phil X, it's about taking sides, hating on Richie and kissing Phil's ass like a bunch of 3-year-olds. Pretty much the same thing that's going on with people hating on either Jon or Richie to kiss the other's ass. Pathetic.

@SarafdezCa #11 but will prob answer many ?'s. it looks like I'll be here for the rest of the leg (til Hyde Park) ...but you never know.

That's very precious stuff. Thanks!

‏@KatieNeocleous 7h
Are you coming to Australia in Dec??
‏@TheRealPhilX 7h
sorry, I don't know.

Richie may have to take care of a "personal matter" until December ?
what kind of personal matter is this ???
what is there to "resolve" ?

I think its not over, I don't think they're done yet. The speculation has just made it worse, like a lot of people have said we don't know if all those tabloids had an inch of truth and we don't actually know why he left in the first place.
