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.
