For anyone that still doesn't understand what being a songwriter means, or musical integrity - there's a lot of people who don't solely care about shifting a huge amount of "units" of a "product" (that's the album).
Some people actually care about the quality of the music they make. That music may not be to your liking, but it's what THEY want to MAKE. So get over yourself not liking Aftermath. Richie is NOT "just" Bon Jovi's guitar player. He is under no obligation to remain JUST Bon Jovi's guitarist for the rest of his life. Let him spread his wings, make the music he wants, and maybe in time there will be a fantastic BJ album. Notice I'm also not hating on Jon. You don't have to hate one to like the other. They're the best feckin' band in the World, remember?!?! ;) |
Richie's latest tweet seems odd since just last week he was reminding us who had writing and producing credits on all the Bon Jovi albums - in case, y'know, we might have forgotten.

Richie is entitled to his opinion but he'd be hard pushed to find anyone else who thinks AOTL is his best work. Even as a solo act, it's number 2 at best. It isn't in the same league as Stranger.

Stranger is a classic. But it doesn't stand so well as a timeless piece, given it's reverb and production. And while it has some amazing songs of its own - Ballad, Stranger, Rosie, One Light....I think I like the idea of it more than the song content itself. Songs like Broken Wing came alive after hearing them on the tour. Nowadays, Sugar Daddy, World - all suck ass, because of production more than anything else. I will concede, however, that someone with some PR know-how should be helping out in a far greater capacity with both BJ the band and RS as an individual. Though of course we're not happy when we hear nothing, and unhappier still when we get a tweet that doesn't enlighten us... |

Stranger is breathtaking though for me. The three soungs from 3-5 and the last two are sublime. The rest are solid. The guy is talented and I love his work. Just a shame he is coming across as a selfish, self obsessed, unprofessional prick. |

And have to say - I can totally understand someone saying he's "coming across" like that. I think that's absolutely fine and acceptable. Think there's a fine line between that and "the guy's a prick!". :) |

Richie needs to heed the advice of Sir Ronan of Keating- You say it best, when you say nothing at all.
These cryptic tweets pussying around the subject do no one any favours and just make you look sad and petty. It's a blessing that Jon isn't a Facebooker or a Twitterer, his silence and show-must-go-on stance in a lot more dignified than Richie's veiled stabs, whilst intermittently professing love for the fans that he has, for whatever reason or fault, let down by choice. Just wish they would shut up and end the saga one way or another and the fans are given the respect we deserve to let us know where we stand with our favourite band, rather than deliberately holding out and letting us stump up the cash for tickets etc... with false hope and maybes. |
