I just don't get how people are ready to forget about Richie.
The man behind tons of music we've been following for years. All the solos you're listening to on BJ albums. In every concert, bootleg, video, everything. And now because of this situation we don't know much about some of you are almost saying they don't want him back. Burning what we once loved - how typically human. And the short memory too. I for one want Richie back, and won't support a 'Richieless' Bon Jovi. Yes the way he left was wrong, but that's the only thing we can say that we know for sure. The rest is speculation. And if Richie had enough of something band-related, he has every right to do so. Just his way of doing things was wrong. And on topic I like what X is doing on that stage, but it's just not the same. |

I've had a hell of a lot of respect for Phil X since the first instance 2 years ago. He's an excellent guitarist, and though his style isn't 100% spot on for the Bon Jovi sound, he does his job and does it well, while at the same time knowing his boundaries as a fill-in guitarist for the band. Quite simply, he's filling the bill and having a ****ing blast out there. It seems as if some people think that being happy, supportive, and welcoming of Phil is mutually exclusive with loving Richie and wanting him to return happy and healthy. For me, it would be devastating if Richie was given the permanent boot. He is indeed my favorite guitarist of all time, but in this time where he's confusing his fanbase and bandmates, I can't help but be frustrated by him. At the same time, I'm supportive of Phil X, because, simply, he's done nothing wrong. I truly hope Richie comes back, ready to rock, because that's what he does well. But until then, Phil X is a good replacement. I just can't help but like the guy. |

Anyway, you can be mad at the guy all you want, but you just can't forget. If you do, you've never really cared to begin with. FACT. He, along with Jon, Tico and David, is 30 years of Bon Jovi. It takes more than the first good guitarist passing by to become part of that. Actually, it takes nothing, 'cause it's just not possible. That's why I said I'd rather have each of them do their own thing, because even though I'd still support them (it's also a matter of loyalty), something would always be amiss, no matter how many years go by. |

This is what I think the crux of the problem is. Just that Richie thinks his fans are stupid and naive. Instead we've been treated so badly and our love and judgement for this band has been seriously tested. |

Fans had the option to get a refund. If you went and had a good time then great if not then you got your money back. No one was treated badly. |

It's hardly melodramatic. Its the truth. we had every right to be refunded because we bought tickets under the impression that the whole band would be there. That's just good consumer integrity. I had a good time BECAUSE Richie wasn't there. Yeah I was totally aware of his absence, but I feel, and I'm pretty sure others, would feel that the first returning gig with Richie would just feel "awkward". |
