Regardless of whether he comes back for any dates on this tour, one things for sure. Things will go very quiet in the bon jovi world for a couple of years. Long old hiatus on the cards.

I can't hear the interview with Jon. It says it's not supported by my browser.
I had a dream last night that Jon told me Richie left the band. That doesn't mean anything. I just thought I'd share it. For the record I also dreamed that Romney won the election so my dream to reality batting average isn't that great. LOL |

They bring 30 years of friendship. Jon takes a few years in a bad mood, no longer the cheerful boy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature..._PvTk#t=03m03s Touching the balls. . |
just searching Richie's old tweets.. is it me or he says it all here?
the more I put some things together, the more I think Richie is not coming back soon, quit maybe? who knows? hurts too much still even if it is a rumor.. Richie Sambora @TheRealSambora 19 Οκτ I just wanna say I've never had so much fun onstage in my life onstage in Europe on the Every road tour..I mean ever. In my whole career.. |
Quote:
Pete: We know Richie isn't playing the European tour. Will he be back with the band in the future? Jon: (very long pause)… Let's just say I certainly hope so. He has not been fired from the band... He's not ill... He's got some personal stuff that he's gotta deal with and I can't comment any further and it's not me being elusive, but it's for him to answer any further than that. We did not have a row… but... we go on. And he's always going to be the... welcome as long as he is up for it. |
That pause from JBJ in the interview.... You could tell he wanted to tell more but then said its not for him to say.
But we now defo no that he aint Ill Richie is taking the piss out of every single ticket buying fan |
Thanks for that transcript!

Thank you for the transcript.
Doesn't sound promising at all :( |

I thought the answer was just for Europe and this tour but the question is with the band in the future? and Jon doesn't know. Richie needs to talk and not just to say his ****ing great and tip top. The guy is being an ass at the moment with his tweets. |

I hope it is not that. I think it's normal to feel more fun and happiness with your own creations. Taylor Hawkins of foo fighters, said in an interview, who played with a tribute band and confessed he had fun playing, much more than with the foo fighters in your life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ3zhAVo2B4#t=07m27s |

How long did you wait for your refund? I returned the tickets last friday, still no money... I'm kinda worried something went wrong.

That interview is probably the first real bit of clarity from within the band, even if it doesn't fully answer the question. Actually made me feel really sympathetic for Jon- you could feel his frustration and it did sound like he wanted to say more. Just wish someone would finally put us out of our misery.

Jon is a very smart guy, he could say that Richie returns on June 6, but then many fans of Vienna, Munich, Oslo, Sweden, Firland, angry because they know there will be Richie after.
Richie said he will return, Jon said he will return, Matt said he will return, Obie said yesterday that it will return ... http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/3...borabender.jpg |
As I said a while back, no row, it's just that things were not how Richie wanted them. I think this is a stubborn stand-off between the two of them and I think it's not been raised voices or fighting, it's just something made Richie ask for more time off or to sing a solo song or something dead simple and it's just escalated out of nothing.
This happens when you've known people years and years, it won't be something big that makes those type of colleagues/friends fall out, it will be something simple and stupid. As I've said, Jon won't have changed the game, he's a smart guy but Richie has asked to appear at something, take a day off or miss a gig for some reason and Jon has told him 'no.' Richie looks like a pr*ck here and the longer this goes on, the more of a prick he is going to look. When people say 'he wouldn't do this, it's career suicide,' I don't think this has been thought through, I think it was done on a spare of the moment and he thought Jon would back down and now it's just turned into a staring competition. Jon isn't helping but basically telling people 'I don't know... ' it just puts everything on RS and it's surely going to make him even more determined to just say '**** you mate, I am not coming back.' Don't get me wrong, Richie isn't doing himself any favours but they are going back and forth with interview-tweet-interview-pic on Twitter... Jon drops hints that everything is fine from his point of view and it's down to Richie, Richie tells everyone he's 'f*cking great' almost a little *too* enthusiastically. I think this is the reason they haven't spoken because now, Jon is privately pissed off. Everything I say about this guy, he will NOT be happy that the shows are going on without RS, that he's taken flak for it and, more importantly, they've had to hand out refunds. I really can't see this being anything but a silly little spat over something and both of them sticking to their principles. |

@TheRealSambora 3mins ago --- "Rockbridge guitars simply the best right now....just killer!"
Oh dear, shut up Richie. |
Just heard the interview, Jon sounds honestly frustrated, and understandably so. I hope I'm wrong here, but I really think it's possible for Richie to be ill at this very moment. Not hospital bed 24/7 ill, but ill enough that he needs to undergo treatment....

Looking at this rationally, Richie is looking worse and worse.

Well if for any reason Richie wanted more money and tried to prove that BJ isn't the same without him, he surely did prove that.
These shows are pathetic. |

If you are right he has been unprofessional in the extreme and has proven that he doesn't give two f**ks about his fans. Hats off to Jon for the way he has tried to handle this. Whether he was right or wrong in any falling out (and there is a decent chance that he's acted like an egomaniac or a prick in that case), at least he has tried to do his job properly and maintained as dignified a silence as he could have. |

It's fine to have an opinion about what's going on, and the discussion and speculation is fun as hell, but the attitude of some people takes the fun out of the whole thing, IMO. |
