For those of you with a problem with non band information as to what Richie is or is not doing - just skip over this. I found it interesting, a conversation on twitt about the fashion Japan stuff going on this month. If anyone has read any of my posts, I am NOT a Lund/Borg fan and think they have done nothing but hurt RS image. Don't think they care either. Never minded his fashion business until his "partners" and new PR seem to be taking over everything, including the music. Also interesting is this conversation was with same person they accused of taking their video project and making a copy, blah blah blah. But sounds like Japan is on hold?

@NikkiRichWTB Any news about the sale in / your travel to Japan??

You're not reading Twitter right. It's the other way around. NikkiRich said the project is on hold (the one they were accused of ripping off) and someone responded to that asking about Japan.

A lot of people here have no clue what twitter is there for or how to use it... :rolleyes:
And if one guy's tweets piss you off so much, then it's time to unfollow.
You accuse Richie of bitching and whining (even though he's not even talking about the band, just making polite conversation), but maybe you should take a look at yourselves. This whole thread is nothing but bitching, complaining and whining. So if you want to see the crybaby, look in the mirror.

The @NikkiRichWTB account is not run by Nikki, but someone named Janine (a fan who was made an intern)...which is why she signs off each of those tweets with "~J". The video was Janine's idea, not Nikki's.
Please get your facts straight before rushing to judgment.

Hopefully this will clear some things up...
 

Actually, "that post" JoviJovi referenced is incorrect. Nikki Lund did NOT request it. Neither Nikki nor Richie had anything to do with starting this. A good friend of mine is the administrator of the original FB page that is referenced in the tweets between @cathypens and @NikkiRichWTB below and she (my friend) is actually the one who came up with the whole idea.

After it was posted in her FB group one of the members (@NikkiRichWTB) - and yes, Stiggy, that would be Janine - posted a very similar message on her own NikkiRich street team page, which is, in fact, “NikkiRich Clothing” (not to be confused with the official NikkiRich page, which is simply “NikkiRich”). One of the mods on my friend’s site (@cathypens) saw the posting and called Janine out on it on twitter:

Cathy Nagle ‏@cathypens
@NikkiRichWTB That's really rude to steal someone else's idea off their Facebook page and make it out like its your own idea.

NikkiRich Clothing ‏@NikkiRichWTB
@cathypens Never claimed any ideas. I always make videos for things, have made many videos along the way. ~J

Cathy Nagle ‏@cathypens
@NikkiRichWTB So it's just a complete coincidence that your name popped up in this Facebook group and the guidelines are almost verbatim?

NikkiRich Clothing ‏@NikkiRichWTB
@cathypens It wasn't intended that way. It's been taken off for the time being. Never created to cause a problem. Apologises. ~J[/QUOTE]

According to my friend, the message has now been deleted from Janine’s street team site. Before it was deleted, however, it was apparently picked up by the WTB Belgian Street Team and posted on their site, too.

White Trash Beautiful Belgian Street Team
As you all know, next month is the anniversary of Aftermath of the Lowdown.
NikkiRich Clothing have started making a video for this! But now Nikki needs our help. To show our support to Richie, she'd like to feature us guys in it.

All we have to do, is send NikkiRich Clothing a picture holding up our copy of Aftermath of the Lowdown, and his other solo CDs.

All photos will be used in the video, and a small message can also be included, send this along with the photo, not on the photo. Limited to 140 characters otherwise the video could end up a 3hr movie! So use NikkiRich Clothing twitter to count your message or a word count tool!

Deadline for photos will be this SUNDAY, you can also send your photos to NikkiRich Clothing on the Facebook page through a direct message.

Thanks for your help!

Since their posting was a direct copy of Janine’s posting, it re-states the same incorrect information about it being a request from Nikki [Lund].


Nope. Not the official site. See above.

It’s clear, yes; but it’s also wrong. Perhaps someone saw the NikkiRich Clothing and assumed the same thing – that “NikkiRich Clothing” is the official site – and thought (from that) that Nikki Lund was the one who originated it. Or maybe Janine phrased it that way deliberately, to get more people involved. I don't know about that. But at any rate, it's not true.

To reiterate: Neither Nikki Lund nor Richie Sambora is involved in this project in any way. They haven’t even been made aware of it unless they monitor the street team pages and discovered it on their own.



The video is still happening. Just not on Janine’s site. She’s put HER video project on hold, but the original Anniversary Video is not affected by any of this. Here’s the link to the original announcement: https://www.facebook.com/groups/608188729201768/

I hope this clears up some of the confusion.

Not sure why anyone would want to claim ownership of it tbh. It's not normal to celebrate a 1 year anniversary of an album to begin with, but this was a mediocre album that sold poorly.

It might arguably be the weakest solo album of the three, but it got great reviews, better than any Bon Jovi album ever has. It was also never expected to become a mega-seller.
Clearly the album struck a nerve or these fans wouldn't bother to spend their time and effort to do this. Nobody is doing this for WAN...

Reviewed better than any of the BJ albums? That can't be right. It's my favorite album of the year and miles better than What About Now, I just don't think it reviewed better than the band's top sellers.

WAN isn't a year old so how could anyone be doing this for it?

The band's topsellers got more attention by far (of course), but not all of it was good.

WAN isn't a year old yet, but nobody is planning anything for the upcoming "anniversary". Nobody even suggested it.

Richies solo album with the exception of about 4 or 5 songs is turd.
