The Richie Sambora Album
Well after the split between Sambora and Orianthi, and his vacation in the Greek Islands with Ava, Richie goes back in the studio working with Bob Rock.

Good to see and even better to see that RSO is as dead as the dodo.
|
Imagine those two +Jon in studio again....oooo my dreams :cool:

Listening to When We Were Young with Richie's backing vocals is WAY better. And that says it all. |
Very much looking forward to a proper Richie solo album and hopefully a tour as well would be nice in the vein of the AOTL tour
|
In the vein of the AOTL tour? So you hope to see a bunch of cancelled shows in the States? ;)
As for being in the studio, I hope this is a relatively swift process and Richie releases something soon. RSO left a sour taste for me, not least because they took so long to release music. |

(Oh, and just in case he really was sick, if he could manage to whisper and cough through any AOTL songs he sings, so much the better!):p EDIT: Thought I'd go ahead and bring it up before somebody else did; but it looks like somebody beat me to it. :) |

Very very excited about this. I loved the RSO songs that were sung by Richie as lead singer. Bob did a better mix job than Ebin at Atfermath, so go ahead.
I'm hoping that Bob knows how to get the best Richie out there right now. The RSO project was already somewhat cooked when he rejoined. But this new album is a matter of Richie and Bob, so very interested in this new album. |
Happy with the news!! Bob Rock may be the ideal guy for this project...A producer who pushes the artist to reach his potential and also a guy who saw Richie in his prime so he knows he can deliver.
i havent followed bob rocks projects after st anger but producing is a talent that i assume doesnt go away, so really happy these guys got together again. there is a story from bob rock that he was called to produce stranger in this town, initially accepted, but a later decided to let down Richie who was a friend and take a shot with metallica...and black album happened.. Richie imo is a truly talented guy who likes to contribute, his role in Bj was ideal to showcase his skills, his chops etc. Richie wants to prove himself again, wants to be active, want to prove other people wrong and in a way maybe thats the best way for him to move forward. If Richie & jon work again in the future it would be nice to happen in a new ground, with everyone standing tall. |
Aloha !

I hope that they put some real drums and some simple proper instrumentation this time.. Enough with overproducing. And enough with fake drums (so audible in RSO songs).
On a different note, I think we are being overexcited. They just said they are writing some songs together. I would like an album and fast. But maybe it will not turn into one. So keep the expectations low. |
obviously not everything he touches turns to gold...you cant polish shit. but he is a guy who can push Richie and Richie himself wants to prove himself to him as well i think..
There is a myth around some producers like Bob Rock and Rubin, some artists have called them gods/magicians whatever and other charlatans..the truth imo is in the middle..there were lucky enough to be in the right place and time and collaborate with huge talents on their prime, but they also had the ability to take the best of them and deliver it in a sonically great product. |

I could go either way, but it sounded more to me like the "dedication" was to the fans who got "piiiissed off" and who still think he owes them an apology for doing something that he thinks he shouldn't have to apologize for. |

Richie is his own man, it's more about the songs in my opinion than a producer. It is a matter of motivation and caring enough about the record and, in my opinion, sadly also about his condition.
However, I do think there are makings of something good here. It has been several years of practically no music and quite a bit of pretending to be making music for Richie by now. With any luck he is bursting with it. I am really looking forward to this. (Then again, I was looking forward to RSO as well) |
I like that Richie is in a position where he has nothing to lose. Hopefully this will stop him from trying to chase a hit that is never going to come and focus on just doing what he wants.
His guitar playing has moved from average to poor for around 15 years, but I don't think that will matter in the studio, although Aftermath was a boring album from a guitar perspective. It is probably safe to say this is the most interesting project in the Bon Jovi world since maybe Lost Highway. We really don't know what Richie is going to come out with, and that is exciting. Say what you want about his solo work, the three albums have been different enough to suggest he may move outside the Bon Jovi box of manufactured hit-chasing mom rock. |
Bring it on
Bring it on Sambora, but I have to say that my expectations are low. I know the guy can deliver but lately even he seems too influenced by trends of using modern mixes which kills me. In fact... i think this is the main reason why i dont pay attention to bj either anymore. Its just too boring. The over use of pro tools and wanting to brickwall the sound with loudness to compete on the streaming services /radio just doesnt do it for me. And i get it mainstream artist have to compete with the world and that sometimes means ruining the sound...anyway, lets see if he brings a couple of good tracks to the table anyway...and lets hope bob rock doesnt **** up the sound. I remember when i first heard makin history live and then...i heard the version studio...that guitar tone makes me want to bang my head against the wall.
By the way, hi Rolo_tomachi... its been a ****ing long time! |

I do not know until what degree of quality he have this time, I just want new songs. The biggest mistake of Richie, was not to do more solo music / albums in the 2000-2010 period. |
I don't really have much of a problem with the mix of Aftermath like a lot. Sometimes on the heavier stuff it's a little messy, sure, but to me things like You Can Only Get So High sound fantastic. He was going for a gritier mix and not so over produced and I get that...I'd certainly take that over the generic, sterile Shanks sounds...
|
Shanks is just a bad producer with no serious work / hits to show. On the other hand he may just follow Jon’s orders

In my opinion a good producer should bring out the best in the artist that he is working with, not have his own signature sound all over it. That's why Bob Rock is perfect for this. Not everything he has produced has been fantastic, but he always brings out and enchances the sound of the band he is working with, rather than his own imprint! |
