He said "So let's rock n roll soon.." as in "I'm not rock n rolling right now with BJ"

Please elaborate

If I was "off work" for personal reasons and I put pictures up on FB or Twitter of me enjoying myself I would be disciplined.......I think its taking the PISS a little bit here, hundreds of thousands of fans are gutted that he isnt on tour with the band, yet here he is posting nice family pics on twitter....or it really does quantify the fact that his PERSONAL ISSUES are about his daughter....

meaning he is for the money not for the music (he is talking to HIS FANS)
to x and his fans bj music is better to not be qualified of any name unless your ears will bleed

Totally agree. I do think less of him for sending out tweets like that in the middle of the tour though. If he wants his privacy he is entitled to it but he not entitled to have it both ways.

A lot of people, myself included, would not have paid as much for a ticket had his absence been advertised. Something personal comes up which keeps him away from the tour and most of us accept his right to privacy and his implicit request for it.

I find it difficult to respect him when he starts tweeting photos of his personal life whilst being absent from the tour, which he is missing for...personal reasons.

Decide which way you want it to be Richie, but I cant respect you when you behave hypocritically.

Aloha !

Exaggerating much? Phil X is no Richie Sambora but he's no Bobby either. And I doubt anyone not a guitarist is actually hearing the difference between Richie and Phil, especially nowadays.

That. 100%

my friends who were in vegas heard the difference very well.

I don't understand at all why Phil X would be the target of any nasty remarks. The dude was asked to step in as a lead guitarist. He's doing his job and to my ears fairly well. So, he doesn't like or listen to Bon Jovi on a regular basis. I don't think liking Bon Jovi music is a requirement otherwise they'd have no crew as most of them aren't fans of the music either. It's a job for them just as it is for Phil X.

Aloha !

Yeah, but most fans aren't rational thinkers. They still like to believe that the band hangs out before and after the show, showers together, sleep in the same hotel room and are having a few minutes of silence before and after the show to pay respect to the best friend they're missing now. Bon Jovi are a business now more than ever, and although I disagree with them going on with the tour it didn't come unexpected. I'm not angry, just disappointed really, but I've moved on rather quickly. If fans would stop living in the past and face what the band has become nowadays I'd say it'd be a lot easier to just face reality.

Salaam Aleikum,

Spot on. I think the guy seems nice, I admire him. Plus, I think the latest album is a steaming turd... would I stand next to Jon and play songs from it in front of 60,000 people for a nice, fat pay packet and a chance to travel the world... or would I allow my principles to take control?

Show me the four chords for WAN, pass the pen and where do I sign?

I agree. I wonder why so many desperately want to believe the "bromance" thing between Richie and Jon is real. It's all just image. I think they've never been as close as some fans want to believe.

Agreed! Sorry Richie.. I love you and I was devastated when I saw the news about your abscense in Europe, but those pics etc makes me feel a little bit silly about this situation.. Me crying cause I was so excited to see you again and worried about you and you looks so fcking great...:s

When you look at the tweets Richie is receiving after he posted the pic, all of the tweets are positive. Nobody is complaining to him directly, only behind his back.

Highways? Where they're going, they don't need highways.




...and COMING SOON

Jonny Crockett fight against drugs in their own streets.

:cool:

Your photoshops are epic my man.

Laughing at this since Jon has a tendency to wear his shirts open that way. Only thing missing is the jewelry. :D

This. Totally.

I don't believe in the bromance
ONE BIT
I THINK X video WAS DIRECTED TO HIS FANS not the jovi ones..then I explained maybe wrongly that part ....
if we had to hear what X has to say behind closed doors about *bon jovi music* our ears would bleed because of the things he rude things would say (not because he cannot play)
I don't care about his skills I simply shut myself off - plenty of tribute band play or sing better than bon jovi so what .. it's not about that
so yes if you thought I was qualifying his skills as making my ears bleed yes that would be way over the top ..I didn't say that..I said simply well if you knew what he has to say about bon jovi music to his own fans you would be unpleasantly surprised (he is not even trying to hide that in the video)

You took the words right out of my mouth Deb. Of all the people to be mad at in this situation (Richie, Jon, Matt, the organization), by get on Phil X? He's doing an admirable job filling in, and is clearly having the time of his life (go check out his Instagram)

As a Bon Jovi fan, I'm a lot more disappointed in the way Jon/Richie/the band are handling this than I am knowing Phil doesn't particularly like their music.

This
Even if the point is to subtly show "Hey, I'm healthy." It just doesn't come off well.

Oh My God That's Enough Already...richie This...richie That....i Say Leave The Man Alone.i Think He Made His Choice.the Band Is On Tour,and He Is Driving And Laughing With His Daughter,so Be It.i Can't See That Is Jon's Fault Anymore.and...you Know Something???phil X Rocks!!!i'm On Youtube For Some Time Now,seeing His Videos.he Is One Hell Of A Guy,and A Very Good Guitar Player.if Richie Wants To Leave The Band For Good,i Say Phil X Can Take His Place,why Not?

Chill on the coffee, dude

So they are not showering together before shows?

What a bummer.

The real question is.. who took the picture?

Was it Phil X?

You're Right...you Want Richie Sambora Make Fun Of You And All Of Us.that's Ok With Me.and You Know What?i Don't Even Like Coffee.so I Can Say That You Are Totally Wrong Either Way.

???
Calm down.

As long as there is Jon Bon Jovi...There will be the band.No reason to hide from the truth.Richie is very important to the band,but let's face it..He is not irreplaceable.On the other hand...Jon is..

That's for the casuals, we don't give a **** about the casuals here. For me as a die-hard fan of Bon Jovi, there is no Bon Jovi without Richie.

Phil X don't like Bon Jovi, even been laughed at her music in the past.

What makes you think you can join the band? the money? Wow, what a great guy.

I am fine thank you,but you know something?I worked my ass for over a year to go to Vienna and Milan on this tour..And Richie just smiles in his big SUV...and leaves the tour for likely no serious reason at all..I'm sorry,I don't feel ok with that.

Richie is 100% irreplaceable to the band. Ok Jon can get Phil to fill in for live shows but no Richie equals no Bon Jovi. You heard the last album? That's what happens with no Richie, and it stinks.

That thought Axl Rose...

You call me a casual??Sorry my friend,but I've been listening to Bon Jovi for 25 years...Since I was 12 years old....I was listening to the band since you weren't born yet..My life IS Bon Jovi...So don't casual me please...

Nobody casualed (?) you dude, you can also be a die-hard that's in love with Jon.

You don't seem to care if Richie is there, because you're quick to replace him. And you're wrong if you think the band could continue without Richie. It would be a mess musically, not to mention their reputation would take a serious hit. They would lose a lot of fans, causing their already shrinking fanbase to become even smaller. The reality is they can't afford to lose Richie.

LOL love the "pathetic" comment :D

I am man,not a woman...Unless you know men that like men in your city.Either way I am not one of them.

He was talking to the crowd

I can assure you that exists outside of his city as well. Shocking, I know... *facepalm*
