I wish the guy well. I hope he has a full recovery.
At the same time, I can't help but wonder at the fact that this guy is going on tour with cancer and Richie can't be bothered to show up for work while he's doing ***ing great. |

Also, I agree with you. The guy is touring while he's on chemo and Richie is there on his house doing ****ing great. |
I agree. Richie doesn't deserve Bon Jovi.

Vivian Campbell is an unbelievable guitar player. Have seen him jam with so many artists, from Thin Lizzy to Steel Panther, and he never let anyone down.
I am very sad about this news, given his mentor - Ronnie James Dio - died of cancer. But he's a strong bloke and he'll be back! Wishing him all the best. As about Richie - come on people. Richie played guitar with a f*ckin' broken arm for an entire tour. Vivian Campbell never had to play the garbage that is What About Now. And back in the day, when Vivian had a major musical disagreement with Dio, he simply walked out, just like that. So stop making any silly comparisons here. No one knows why Richie isn't there - and to be honest - I admire anyone who has the guts to say no to a big pile of cash for the sake of his or her own sanity. Which I believe is what Richie is doing. And all this 'Letting fans down' bullshit is going on my nerves really. All the junk that Jon has written and has fed us - that is what has been letting the fans down. Richie here, Richie there makes no difference. Again - if this was the These Days tour and Richie would disappear with no reason - I'd be mad beyond belief. But Richie leaving now is the best thing that has happened to the band in ages. But I digress. This is about Vivian Campbell! All the best man and see you back on the road soon! |
Well, there're Def Leppard songs that aren't exactly guitar masterpieces.

There are many reasons why people leave bands. Health is one of them. Stop judging and comparing without having a clue what you are talking about. Especially giving Vivian Campbell as an example, when he's always been a mercenary. But what do you guys know? |
I wish the guy well. I'm a big Def Leppard fan and he's a cracking guitarist. I thought that statement was great too, just had the right tone. I'm sure he'll recover.

And he was credited for Rainbow In The Dark. As far as I know, he actually ripped off a couple of riffs from his older bands (not all of which he wrote himself) for the Dio stuff, though. |
