You ignore 30 years Richie letting himself skin. Phil is there to collect a check for hours, when this is over, Phil will do with Avril Lavigne, Nikelback or any other artist/band in trouble running a tour. That is the role of Phil.

Jon should fix problems with Richie, the fans should have shown a larger support to Richie for return to the tour, instead, have been opened arms to Phil X. So "The CEO" did not change anything during this tour. The fans chose. Now you have the consequences, a tour number 1, which turns out to be crap.

Richie has done wrong, but Jon too, and of course, the fans have contributed to this disaster.

Casual naive fan of the band. Richie is the reason you sat down during wanted. Because you're not as important as knickers.

Phil has done a brilliant job and is easily a better vocalist than Richie anyway

My god you truly are full of absolute shit. So it's the fans fault now that Richie prefers to knock around with some skank and sell knickers? New levels of stupidness - even for you. But at least you have finally admitted Richie has done wrong. Jon on the other hand (as good or bad as he sounds) has fulfilled his duties in the hardest circumstances to conclude a tour that again, is number 1. I know Bon Jovi success annoys you but it's tough shit. Put your Jon voodoo doll down. It ain't working

Again????.....

Aloha !

Yeah, Richie on the other hand can't even handle touring in support of his own stuff, let alone touring for Bon Jovi, let alone touring with another band.

But yeah, it's all the fault of Jon and the fans.

Isn't there already 1,000+ page thread for bitching about this?

My morbid desire to listen to These Days is off the charts.

If that's how you feel about Dry County, you must really be over Livin' On a Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name, Keep The Faith, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, It's My Life, Raise Your Hands, lost Highway etc etc etc.

It's an amazing piece of music and I welcome it in any and every set.

Nope, they get the crowd going. Dry County takes up 2 or 3 songs and is everyone's chance to go for a piss and a beer. Loved hearing it once and maybe twice but incredibly bored now and to count it as a rarity is still astonishing.

Forgot to mention last night's show was the first show id seen where Jon wast the last one on stage. He went down with the rest of the band (I think it was before Phil and Tico) and then Tico did a very brief double turn to the crowd, which unfortunately got barely any repsonse.
