One. One person randomly asked him to take their picture and then realized he looked kind of looked like the guy playing guitar at the show the night before. "I get that a lot" is arrogant. "Thanks man, fun gig!" would be down to earth. "Who is Bon Jovi?" would be downplaying it.

It was just my take on his tweet. It's really not worth the discussion or all this space.
"I get that a lot" is not arrogant at all. It's a standard answer - and a fun one.

An article on Ava from People magazine. Maybe this could be the reason too? but highly unlikely.

Exactly, I can't actually believe this is being discussed. Even if there was anything slightly "wrong" with his answer, who cares... It doesn't come across as arrogant, It doesn't come across as anything but a normal response.

:lol: Whoa!!! Can't really believe anyone would actually classify that as arrogant. Some people are just predetermined to find something wrong with the guy and something to bitch about...

You're reading WAY too much into something very innocuous here.

Then he should get his ass on tour. Not what I want to hear at all.

Exactly my thoughts, twice he's said he's ok.... He's losing fans/respect/whatever... All I know is I have my refunds, the last time I saw the band as a whole was Dublin 2011, I'll leave it at that.

Well why the F#@K doesnt he come out and give us all some hope, that he will be back, Its a bit p#ss poor that he tweets how happy and smilin he is, but gives no apology to his fans wo paid out big money to see him on tour!!!!

Sambo-Chris 05-12-2013 07:47 PM
I am more and more sure that he doesnt have a band anymore with that he could tour.

dianeee 05-12-2013 07:49 PM
I don't follow twitter, has anyone actually asked him if he's doing so great and knows how much everyone cares why he doesn't just say something about what's up and when he'll be back?

I asked him on one of his latest posts, but seems my tweet has been removed :-(

Correction: it's still there, but no comment from Richie of course...

MrNickel 05-12-2013 07:54 PM
This saga continues. Richie is doing himself no favors with tweets like that.

Spidey5150 05-12-2013 07:55 PM
If Richie's fine and happy I'm happy for him. Obviously if I had tickets to an upcoming show I'd likely be upset, but I don't. Then again I'm ecstatic to be seeing Guns n' Roses next month, and as we all know it's just Axl and whoever he happens to employ at the time, but it matters not to me. I saw BJ in February and had a killer time. Loved it. The album however is the worst they've ever released. If Richie's done and there's no more new BJ i'm not entirely disappointed with that.

Panda 05-12-2013 07:56 PM
He's obviously sick of the band and frankly, I don't blame him. If he's happy without being with the band, then good for him.

No he's not. For someone who has been one of my heroes since I was a kid, I can't help but feel that he's now destroying that sort of respect with his fan base.

There might well be valid reasons why he's not on tour - but making tweets like that is ripping the piss.

CKatz 05-12-2013 08:02 PM
I think he is done with the band. He is happy, I'm happy for him. The band has become a sinking ship anyway.

Becky 05-12-2013 08:05 PM
And is he calling the fans mothers as in female parents or mothers as in mother-f-ers? Again, not doing himself any favors. Whatever. If I had the chance to see the band with Phil, that would be fine with me. I saw him twice the last time Richie didn't show up and he was great.

Beaky 05-12-2013 08:10 PM
This really does feel like he's using Twitter to put pressure on Jon; showing how happy he is, etc.

I am thinking, more and more, that they are leaving us hanging so we can reach our own conclusion and he just won't come back. I don't think it'll ever be explained but I really, honestly think he's done with it.

F*ck me, I would LOVE a Richie book, though...

'Raise Your Glands - My Life as a Cocksman'

'Sticks To Your Buns'

Okay, I am going to stop now...

There's a difference between Jon and Richie. Everyone sees Jon as Bon Jovi therefore the band it will never be the same without one of the main members. But Richie could tour with session players like his solo tour and it would still be great.

Wonderdog 05-12-2013 08:25 PM
A question. Has he announced a winner in the cover contest?

I know I'm a broken record with this, but if that's the case then I WOULD be happy for him if he hadn't done it in the middle of the tour. I don't care how "sick of the band" he was, he should have finished out his commitments first.

Becky 05-12-2013 08:40 PM
I don't think his posts are meant to pressure Jon. He posted recently that he loved the band. I don't think it's a band issue. I think he's got some personal issue and is just being a dick and not handling himself very well by acting like all is well when he's not fulfilling his commitments. He either needs to tell the truth or STFU.

I didn't get the sense his tweet was derogatory in any way. I think he really meant mothers as in female parents :)

I still find it troubling that if he is so great why isnt his @ss on tour.

No it hasn't.
No 1 us album plus no 1s in other countries.
World tour currently 2nd highest grossing.

If Richie is well he is taking the piss out of every single one of you who slagged off JBJ and said it was his fault. To everyone who has bought a ticket. If he wants out then say it. Don't start tweeting how great everything is when you have 100,000s of fans who want to no wHats going on.
JBJ is be no means perfect but to my mind he has never let the fans down and the show goes on.

Just because he said he loves the band, doesn't mean he didn't quit.

steel_horse75 05-12-2013 08:51 PM
I felt for Richie at first thinking maybe his demons had come back. As someone who has a sister with a drink problem I know how hard it is to stay straight.
But now he is ****ing every fan around.

If Richie and Jon are indeed fighting and they are going about it like two teenagers. It's like they are fighting it out over social media and waiting to see who cracks first without really trying to resolve anything. I would like for them to say either Richie is in or Richie is out. However, I don't think they even know that answer yet.

Exactly and even if he is fighting with Jon, he would still love him but this issue can't be resolved. There is a 30 year friendship here and all that can't be taken away. Richie saying that he loves the band, doesn't mean that he still won't leave them.

Quite simple. Target audience of today's BJ is.....
