You fool ......, 100% cover band without Rich ... Simple as that .

Ahh hellz yeeeahh brah!! Dem fools Jon, Tico, Dave and Hugh, they B playing dem songz for them many yearz but with no brothah Richie Brah Dat shitz B sounding whack! Like dem foolz Be playing!! Amirite!?!?

no disrespect t the other members of the band , its just that you cant simply replace the guy who co wrote almost every hit...you are so wrong about the visual...we can hear the difference and every little mistake phil x and bobby make in almost every song....richie may not be the guitarist he once was but still is great imo...
and what is all that frenzy about phil x? the guy seems like a nice guy, he is a decent guitarist and is paid lots of money to go out there and build up his name and reputation. he is not doing it for free and there are hundreds of guys out there who could do the same,even better...
imo its sad when people listen to the band now and listen no difference...the bj sound they fell in love once had richie in it, now not only its different its inferior as well

A 40 year old man calling a 49 year old woman a fool...........real mature buddy.

Really, 100%? So the other members, including Jon, wrote and arranged 0% of Bon Jovi songs?

That could be the most ridiculous thing i've read on this board ever

it would sound like a cover band if anyone was missing, from jon to david...
when jon said richie is replaceable not like the edge(god forbid)...that very moment he betrayed the whole concept of the band and the brotherhood...i know we have extensively discussed it but i believe this comment alone made every richie fail look minor in comparison to that statement...and in that case richie was the bigger man cause he didnt fuel/continue the controversy like he could...

Supposedly Jon's words were taken out of context. What I read (and I am fully aware it could be incorrect) was that the Edge's daughter was ill and they chose to cancel the shows until the Edge was able to come back. Jon was trying to say that this situation was not one that Richie had to leave because his daughter was ill. Were his words really taken out of context, who the hell knows.

Amen, living in sin, loves the only rule, I'll be there for you, what's left of me, this ain't a love song, blood on blood, dry county, in these arms, radio, I'd die for you ... Just a few songs off the top of my head that have been played this tour and should be included in tonight's show to mix things up instead of showing them the exact same snoozer main set he played 2 days prior.

I've come to the conclusion that these people never appreciated what the band used to sound like. They were there for different reasons than some of us. Their opinion means nothing to me.

You have 900 pages of a richie thread to talk about how much you want to blow him dude. Keep this thread on topic for once please.
