People should just stop replying to Rolo and entertaining the troll.

I love Richie alone, I love Jon alone. But Bon Jovi have to be Jon and Richie together.

I can support a break, but do not approve an album or tour of Bon Jovi without Richie Sambora. That would pay the price too high.

my English is quite limited, so I can not expose all my guns in the matter sometimes. But I make an effort brother, believe me, I try.

Everyone keeps on saying that he has sooooo much talent but his solo record is nothing great, and it pop-ish, so I'm not buying the whole "Jon's holding Richie back" tale anymore.

If What About Now doesn't have good guitars is because Richie didn't gave a **** while writing/recording.

I'd love the guys to so some solo stuff, though, I was really looking forward to Jon's acoustic solo album, but that didn't happenned.

I think Jon ever will pull out a solo album more, only cares about selling. He used the mark Bon Jovi to put some of his solo songs there.

What About Now, Amen and The Fighter are clear examples.

As Something To Believe In, Bed of Roses and Always? He's the main songwritter of the band, the albums are always going to have big influences of what he wants to do.

Something to believe in, bed of roses and Always be worked together.

What About Now, Amen and The Fighter were worked by Jon Bon Jovi and John Shanks for the most part of development.

You should go to search for your albums and check the songwriting credits...

About the video, since the '90s they've recorded some vocals in different places. That video is proof of nothing.

Just look at any performance of any song of Richie and there you see it. Look at what other guitarists/ artists have said about Sambora - it's all positive stuff. 'The most under rated guitarist in history' etc. 'One of 2 guitarists I want to play for the rest of my career with' 'Made me sweat' etc etc...and these comes from proper musicians, like Alice Cooper, Clapton, Jabs. When did anyone ever say anything positive about Jon Bon Bon? Like....never?!?

Anyway, it's not even about that. Richie could start doing some festival dates, jam with some other guitarists, join a super group....so many options. I am hoping he goes for that...that's why I want him to quit. Seeing him jam with BB King a couple of years ago was more spectacular than anything Bon Jovi has ever done since 1996. And even Aftermath is better than anything Jovi related since...I don't know... I still listen to Aftermath, the only post 2000 Jovi record I listen to is Crush. So yes, whatever your opinion is, I'd rather have Richie do stuff on his own. Even if it's not Stranger, it's miles better, more interesting, and more spectacular than anything coming from the band. That simple.

Here's where we don't agree.
