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 !

Bob Rock produced that garbage from RSO as well. And... away flies all hope.

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.

Actually Richie did say "We're starting a new record, Bob and I. It's a Richie Sambora record..."

I can believe that. And I gotta say that in just one short clip, Richie already comes across to me as more genuine and more interesred in this project than he ever seemed to be about the RSO project. That clip is the kind of informal stuff he would do, fairly often, when he was working on AOTL; especially after Luke convinced him to start tweeting. I know he did promo interviews; but if he posted anything at all about RFA in social media, I don't remember it.

Is good enough and pretty cool for me.

Nice... Any other songs were Richie takes the majority lead? (Just shows you how disconnected I was to that disaster)

Check out "Forever All the Way". My personal favorite RSO song, and also the one with the least amount of Orianthi on the whole album. Also not overproduced in the slightest.

Take Me is my fav song.
