You're becoming somewhat of a broken record. |
i m happy for richie cause it looks like he is kind of getting some of the respect he deserves and so much craves...after all these years its admiring for a guy with money and success to seek collaborations and the respect from his peers. its nice that richie jams and enjoys music.
having said that that was so sloppy i didnt really enjoy any of the clips i ve seen even if i approached them with a positive eye |

As for sounding like a broken record, I'd say Sambora has that crown. He's a mess....as for being respected!?!, How deluded are you people? He's a laughing stock. A very wealthy one, but still a laughing stock. |
Quote:
The press in general and the public don't respect him much because he plays (played) in a "chick band" and hair metal bands have always been taken for a joke. And, sadly enough, his playing has degraded over the years instead of improving... |

I am not sure Eric Clapton respects Richie, I mean he may and has no reason not to, but he took the gig thinking it would be easy. He certainly talked up Sambora's work ethic though. Quote:
The Les Paul thing is well documented by now, so yeah Richie certainly has respect from peers, in fact more so than he does from the general public. That said, I imagine few of them see him as Richie Sambora, artist, but more like Richie Sambora, Bon Jovi guitarist. That's obviously the reputation he is trying to shake right now, and fair play to him for going into it 100%. It just isn't for me due to the sheer lack of quality in all aspects he has shown over the last two years. |
Maybe we should define "respect"... What I really meant is that Richie is (was?) considered as "someone that counts" by the music industry and his peers as a guitarist, not only as "Bon Jovi guitarist and sidekick".
If Eric Clapton played on his first solo album it's because he was flattered and touched by Richie's letter (I posted it here last year but sorry, I won't bother to look for it now: I'm typing this post for the second time because I lost that page when I tried to open a new window and this get.media blank page is really REALLY annoying!). Anyway. Clapton didn't need to play with the famous younger guitarists of the era to stay relevant or further up his career and certainly not for money (he played for Richie for free), he did it because he felt like doing it, because he liked the guy (cf what you posted). The same kind of thing happened with other guitarists: Richie happened to play with them at a charity concert or at some award ceremony gig, i.e. at events where musicians are assembled by the organizer or the music director, then Richie's playing and persona were appreciated by others and so they became friends and decided to play together again later. Rich and famous musicians don't bother to play with each other when they can't stand each other, they won't guest at someone's gig unless they truly appreciate the musician, there's nothing to earn in terms of fame and fortune so what for if not for the sheer joy of jamming together? I disagree with you, I don't think they see him as "Richie Sambora, Bon Jovi guitarist" or else they would rather die than be caught by his side! Remember that in the 80s/90s BJ bashing was the most common sport in the music industry and in the media (that is well documented too) and yet more respected guitarists jammed with him and/or listed him as one of the best guitarists around.

He is also proper friends with Jimmy Page too, and I think he is well acquainted with with Brian May.

Edit: Here the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZlIiCWlATc#t=01m33s If have the friendship of one God of Guitar as Jimmy Page is not a sign of respect, then I don´t know what the hell it can be. |
Thanks for the video! :cool:
And here's Guess Who's confirmation of the friendship: https://youtu.be/YMRu7RQM_3Y?t=6m33s |
Aloha !

I reckon he's seen him a couple of times, but that's about it. If they'd have been going to gigs together there'd be loads of picture of it on the internet, yet there's just one of them hanging out at a Def Leppard show in 2008 when he happened to be in London anyway. I'm not buying it, and the sad thing is that pretty much anything Richie says nowadays is just complete bullshit. Salaam Aleikum, Sebastiaan |
:rolleyes: Aren't you ever tired of always sounding like a broken record? Just saying.
Anyway. Here's what my great friend Google shows me and ain't that funny?! http://www.drycounty.com/jovitalk/sh...t=54403&page=4 And David Coverdale tweeted this photo last Friday: Quote:
There's probably more stuff but I have a life and I don't spend it surfing the Net! BTW, if your theory Quote:
Jon recently tweeted that he had attended the "Finding Neverland" premiere, if he'd have been going to this show there'd be loads of pictures of it on the internet and yet I couldn't find one anywhere... So, when there's no photo on the internet, does it prove that the artists lie or does it prove that the internet generation has no common sense at all? ;) |
I insist on the same. That video of Jimmy Page in 1993. They are the words of itself Page, is not a message on twitter or a radio interview where Richie himself said ... in this video Jimmy Page says the magic words. Yes, a long time ago, but damn, you know how are these elite musicians, this is not about being the best friends ever and forever, is having a friendship and respect for their work/music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZlIiCWlATc#t=01m33s Richie has played with Jimmy Page, Bryan May (He said That Richie is a great singer), Van Halen, Joey Perry, BB King (c'mon man, jamming with BB is already a recognition, no matter if he calls you Ricky Sombraro, remains a ****ing honor!), Slash (on several occasions), Eric Clapton (he collaborated on their first album), and was a good friend of Les, you know, Les Paul. He also played the last year with Dolly Parton and Zack Brown, I admit that it was somewhat bizarre but .. hey! It was fun as hell! and now .... with Buddy Guy. Glastonbury Festival with Dolly CMA Fest with Zack Brown NAMM TEC Awards with Slash Not bad for such an underrated guitarist, that now is only a shadow of what a day he was. Keep Calm. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll. . |
yes and when Dolly's team broke the news the Sambora/Sombrero was joining them onstage they all shook their head and laughed as "there's no way that asshole can keep up with us"
:D The guy was killer. now he's a slouch. |

He's met a lot of fine musicians in 3 decades, played with some, befriended with some... VH1 1996 City Of Hope Benefit. Melissa Etheridge with Richie Sambora, Eddie Van Halen, Bryan Adams, Steve Winwood, Don Henley, etc. Hosted By Paul Shaffer. (there are other videos with different songs) https://youtu.be/HfADZN6-ALc He even played with movie star (ahem!) Frank Stallone! :p Now please don't tell me he'll be doing this: http://atwww.rocklegendscruise.com/ |
Quote:
Bet He will, she was signed up for some charity show the 25th in LA and it now has him listed too so he'll join this I suspect. Plus Greg Allman is on the bill and his daughter is part of the new crew - makes sense. (He didn't go on the billing for her Las Vegas Hard Rock Gig Jan 3rd and it was cancelled so seems they "need/require" one another) |
Yeah, of course I know he will... unless they split up before Jan. 2016...
There's also Brooklyn Allman's half-brother on the list, it seems to be a family reunion! |
Surprisingly, Richie not mentioned at all in her biog on that site.

Sadly your ( and my former) idol is a washed up clichè. And we 're no darkness tribute act. We can actually play. Did I touch I nerve? Awww diddums 🚼🚼🚼🚼 |

And how old are you BTW? Who says you won't be a washed up cliché and still a wannabe at 55? :p Just sayin'! |
Quote:
And as for being a wannabe, well you gotta be a wannabe or you'll never be a somebody! And yeah, I believe in writing songs and that magic transpires from that energy. Who knows....it's a case of watch this space- at least we're trying! |
Yep but keeping on being a wannabe at 55 is very pathetic, I know some people who keep on thinking they're still 20/25 and that their big break will happen tomorrow! It's a lot more frightening than ending up like Richie, Vince Neil & al.
At least Richie is still focused on making new music. His guitar skills are gone forever but he may go back to a higher level than nowadays in a near future if he keeps on practicing everyday, something that he had not done in ages. He probably became lazy (hence sloppy) because his work as the BJ lead guitarist was limited and repetitive. Now that he's hooked up with a guitarist that is more skilled than him he has to take on a new challenge, moreover he wants to impress her and playing the WDOA riff just won't do so he has to make more effort. I think that his upcoming album will be the living proof that he's still a good musician/singer/songwriter but if it sucks, well, it will be the living proof that he's definitely made a mess of himself. So be it! |
We 're enjoying really positive reviews anyway right now and actually made a rock album full of guitars.....something our heroes Will never do again

Aloha !

And as for The Toi...Even though I think The Toi just aren't that good (personal taste and all of that), I'd say that unlike Richie, their career is actualling going anywhere. They've been getting more press based upon their performances and album as opposed to Richie's career, which is pretty much non existant. Because, you know, unlike Richie, they're actually able to fill a bar. Salaam Aleikum, Sebastiaan |
Quote:
Hope you can get to a show sometime ( as my guest) and change your mind. You'd be most welcome ...beers and some jovi debate! Ori is like so many guitarists....able to play fast but devoid of ANY feeling. Richie had that in spades ! |
Better a Hasbeen then a Neverbeen ! All you people that keep putting shit on Richie , take a close look at your own sad lives ..... What have you done ? What are you doing now ? Where will you be in 20 years ? Go Richie ! Cant wait for some new tunes ;)
