I just want this damn thing out! |
I think absolutely they're trying to find the sound, but it's being treated like it's an arthouse indie project. By all means experiment but going from producer to producer and then coming out with the most cookie cutter sounding country song(s) makes you wonder what all that time was for. On the flip side taking this long builds expectation and people will go nuts if the lyrics are as weak as they were on Aftermath. That was always my beef with it, fantastic album, Im one of the few that really liked the production.
That's just my two cents. I go back on forth if I buy the constant changeover was for creative reasons or otherwise. |

A song like SIBSN is just another example that proves the point - unless one has a very strict definition of rock being only that music that has loud guitars and angry aggressive lyrics. And you're right - the band version of WSYCGH is no more country than SIBSN; but either of those could live quite happily on a country music station today - even if they don't meet some people's concept of country music being only about rednecks drinkin' beer in a pickup truck while waitin' for Grandmaw to get run over by a reindeer! :) |
My only disappointment on the matter is because they ultimately do not meet what they said. In 2014 they said they had recorded studio songs and could be released soon, but in the end did not happen, because they said it was worth continuing to work on the songs.
Then in 2015 they said the album was well advanced and would be released later that same year, they even put a piece of I Got You Babe announcing Comming Soon. But it did not happen. June 2016, they claimed that ended the album, and they were mastering more than 20 songs, Orianthi get to say that the single could ring in less than a month. Well, another thing that was not fulfilled. Now it seems to be some promotion, Oprah, some shows in Australia and later in London. Have released 10 seconds of his new music, and I have the feeling that this year we will not see any single, nor any album. At the end, the wait is even more eternal, as short-term promise things and then they do not comply. That's a disappointment after disappointment. They should not promise that will soon be the album until it actually is. |

And who's to say that they worked with all those producers just to arrive at the snippets we heard? Other songs might have a totally different vibe, if it turns out that different producers are involved in the final product. As ppl were reminded when they were going off on how bad Knockout was before they heard the whole song, I gotta say that's a pretty sweeping statement based on a couple of really short snips, especially when they were mostly obscured by voiceovers. You think the snippet of Magic sounded country? That just shows again how differently ppl can see things, I guess, because from what I could hear, I actually thought it sounded more like earlier BJ than either THINFS or Knockout and wondered whether to credit Richie or Bob Rock for that. :D (Or were you referring to the other snippet? I couldn't hear that one well enough to tell much about it.) Quote:
But that would just be my two cents... :) |

Yeah... Well, I've said before (and will probably say again before all is said and done) that I wish someone would take away Ori's access to Twitter, Instagram, and FB because it seems to me that she gets all excited about what they're doing at the time and posts stuff that, whether she intends it or not, ppl take as official updates and promises about the album. But I guess she doesn't realize how impatiently ppl are waiting for the release and will jump on every word that's said about it. Just like assuming when they say they've been writing and have enough songs for two albums. That doesn't necessarily mean they're ready to go into the studio, that day, and start recording a new album, or two new albums, or even a double album. Or maybe she really DID think that it all would happen when she said, but I've just reached a point, subconsciously, where I chalk up about half of what she says to twitter-babble. I also think the issue gets further confused every time she posts a picture with anybody remotely connected to the music industry and ppl go nuts thinking it's more news about the album when she could just be posing with someone they ran into somewhere. (Or maybe everybody's right that they really ARE that ****ed up and this is RSO's own Chinese Democracy! :D) |

They said that they done good record with Ebbin and they'll relase it in April - 1 CD They said that they made wonderfull record with M.Bearden (with some covers) and they will relase it - 1 CD Now they working with B.Rock and have 22 songs for double CD - 2 CD In my perspective they won't try to find their "music" way. They want to make commercial succes which quarante for them some concerts. They wanted to make something that didn't make that they will flop with CD. They will record EVERYTHING which can give them succes or not lost too much money. Country? No Problem. POP? Ok. Hits? Yes of course..Classic RNR? Yes we WANT make EVERYONE happy. We are like McDonalds. I would prefer 4 CD in every year. 1 with Ebbin, 1 with Bearden and 2 with Bob Rock. I think that I would choose 10 good songs from this four CD... But I'm afraid that final product will be little dissapointing... but we'll see. |
From the start this felt like a disorganized mess. Luke E. un-followed Ori, he was gone. Roman tw RS had a problem with the producer & Bearden was gone ................- I started to repeat all the things we can conclude but it's redundant. This thread started in 2014 when she first said could be as soon as April of 14.
It felt like they imo were/are playing rock star with promises, & inconsistent shows. Too much "sharing" & for me became annoying fast. I had been told there was no label, even this past week they made another quick stop in Nashville per a guitar shop? Was it to see Doc? Label shopping? Who knows.. Richie said in one of these push of interviews this past week that HE IS FUNDING EVERYTHING. So,Does that mean it is just a matter of finding who to pay to release it? Digital is the most affordable. This has got to make the list of most expensive albums.... TUSK anyone. Richie is prone to exaggeration too - I think we've all seen that, so...... The liner notes for this thing are going to be a small novel. Maybe that's the delay - finding a book publisher.... ;-) |

It seems to me that they said they had finished the album and then DOC came on board as manager. I think that he said to them that the album wasn't good enough or wasn't ready and made them go back into the studio (with Bob). Doc knows what he is talking about and Richie trusts him, so that's what I think happened. It also gives Doc more time to work out how it's going to get released....

i m sure richie will have some gems in there |

i think it will be released by some indie label at the end...Just like Aftermath though i love some of his songs just like 7 years gone, every road and stuff still it was hard to find his album in local music store, good in music but flop in selling..any thought? Plus Orianthi, nobody knew her..few knew her but generally speaking it's like 1 outta 20 people so i think they are struggling with the label and stuff, kinda suspicious whether RS broke or something.. |
Quote:
I think Richie is probably reluctant to release on a really small label after his experience with Aftermath, but there are some great indie labels out there these days. I think it's more likely that he will just put the stuff out there himself, a few tracks at a time digitally or something, than give the record to some tiny label. There would be no benefit to that. I'm sure that is one of the things that Doc is working on though... |
richie will probably have millions, many hits tours etc...
noticed they changed the whole band again...from one point that proves they werent happy with previous guys they toured who truly sounded just ok, on the other hand if you keep changing your bandmates the chances of being good live are small |
I'd say he's probably lost money over the past few years. Touring with renowned session players in small venues and making an album with no record company backing would be costly. He's obviously doing this out of passion rather than business.
Richie is a very rich man though. His net worth is reported at $65 million so I wouldn't worry too much about his finances. |

But hey, let's face it, does anybody really believe in releasing this year? :P |

On the bright side, though, it also kinda blows the theory that Richie was trying to time his album's release to coincide with the new Jovi album so he could take advantage of the band's publicity... :) |
I, like many, would really like to know the reason why it's being delayed....many theories out there and of course we'll probably never know. My take is that it is not quite good enough and needs an amount of reworking to get it up to scratch.
I am really looking forward to it though :) |
Quote:
But if Richie's happy doing that and he's bankrolling the thing then he can keep doing that as long as he likes. He left the band to be happy and get out of the commercial machine and he's certainly doing that. |
I doubt it will drop next year. I wonder how many times they have started this album from the beginning. Surely taking years to complete it means the songs may have changes during that time. If the songs are good, I think it would have been released by now.
I think any hopes of this album being good have gone. |

Assuming Richie left Bon Jovi because there was too much direction, now he has none. Maybe Richie actually needs someone to guide him a little. |
I think it may just be as simple of them not having found a way to release the stuff that's satisfactory to them. I hoped that having Doc there might have overcome that, no such luck....

at this day and age and after the commercial flop of aotl richie should realise that no record company is gonna heavy promote rso and even if they signed it would make a tiny difference, richie and ori are recognisable, richie has a lot of money, they could make some theater sized tours to prove themselves on the road and promote with social media, many clips , new songs, create buzz, a live show that compliments u etc etc...
is there any chance in 2016-2017 a record company would give big money to rso to make them a brand band??? needless to say they have media outlets available to them, they could use them and put out stuff, songs and clips to make some interest. i dont think that apart from richie and oris fans many people wait this album or really care, they should change their expectations and invest much more time in rehearshals and live shows where they sound sloppy, especially richie and i am not taking about a bum note but wrong chords, messing up the song parts, acting weird and sound meh |

"Aftermath" was recorded with one band in a few months from October 2011, but we don't know how many demos of previously written songs were recorded before. I think their way of working on RSO album in some sense looks similar to "Aftermath", because once again it's touring/writing/recording/touring/writing/recording/touring/writing/recording cycle. Sadly, we're talking about working on one f'ckin album... :rolleyes: |
