Of course, and I sticked up for Rolo when people were like: "no more photoshops, it's boring". I think it's funny. But I've never had a thing for non-sense humor, and this whole evil Jon vs. victim Richie and selfless Bono (really? LOL) is non-sense at its worst.

That was not an "attack." That was the truth. Richie is easily replaced as evidenced by the last two tours. Could U2 replace The Edge within 24 hours? I don't know, but I doubt it.

No matter what you think of Richie throughout this, that comment was out of order. These two guys have been apart of this band for 30 years, for Jon to label Richie as just another cog in the wheel was very disrespectful.

I ain't saying this whole crapfest is Jons fault but that comment wasn't something that any member of the band deserved to receive (no matter if its true or not).

The reality is that this tour sucks. We need Richie, but it seems that Jon does not want to lift a finger to fix it.

I agree on that.
Any psychological analysis and hasty conclusion about what's going on based on this, though, is sci-fi.

Richie: "Hey everybody, there's nothing I can say right now cause nothing is resolved. I thank you all for your loyalty and concern..."

Man, am I the only one that see all this that has been going on as $$$$$?

Jon said in Slane show will be release DVD. WTF? what need is there to launch this dvd without Richie Sambora? seems to want to show everyone that "he" make sold out Slane.

That's mean Jon, blow low.

Maybe Richie's the one who doesn't want to lift a finger to fix it. He's the one who left and Jon keeps saying it's up to him and he's not fired and, most recently, that he's not angry and that he loves Richie.

Richie could have shown if he wanted to. He didn't. That was mean to us fans who had originally bought tickets fully expecting Richie to be at that, or any show.

Even if Richie does come back one day, I certainly won't be able to accept him the same as I did before - nothing can ever, ever deny his talent, but missing out on large portions of two tours makes him a liability.

however, Jon does not call Richie by phone. I see.
