Once this album bombs, their relationship will too...

amen!!!!!!

I had a conversation along this line recently with someone - wonder if part of the delay will mean they "have" to tour the release & the numbers won't lie? They will have some success but not imo what they seem to expect. Can't keep boasting at that point.


But - she has already deleted on her fan account, the RSO account and her personal account the posts about spotify.

It's still on her insta though ;)

To tell you the truth, it just doesn't seem to me like Richie is all that excited about it. I don't see anywhere near the same level of excitement from him that I remember him showing about AOTL. But maybe that's just me.

All I know is that I really wish she would just STFU until she KNOWS a firm date for when it's going to be released. Period. Full stop.

She has been over social media thgough out her career. It's what she does.

Richie on the other hand is old school and he quite often does not come over too well, and I don't think he enjoys social media much if at all.

Anyway. I believe when I see the record on a shop or online.

I think it's two different eras. Her social media is methodical and done smartly, his tends to be misspelled and random when he does it himself but not too many 80s rock stars are social media mavens. It's absolutely a necessity in 2017 either way.

Spot on. Very few stars of Richie's age have been able to adapt and as such I do not hold it against him in the slightest. However, silly stuff is still silly no matter what the platform, but that is a different issue, in my opinion.

Between the two of them, posting photos of constant vacations after working on the album since 2014 in their case, and 2013 in his case is just a baffling choice.

You could be on to something here :o

I mean, could there be a connection with all the vacation shots and all the new material (absence of) :p

It's really simple. If Richie wants to make better use of social media, hire someone who can help. His tweets are often nonsense. It's not an age thing. If he's happy how it is, great.

He either did or does. I know Ilene headed up that team but once she was gone I could swear he still had a social media company doing it but now I'm not sure. Someone has to be running the RSO account. Richie made a weird off colour joke about his 16 year old niece being a "barely legal be-otch" but before that it's a tweet like "What happens when you mix @ComedyCentral with the best of rock and roll? tune in for #ComedyJam Premiering: 3/22 at 10/9c to find out!".

I think after the great twitter meltdown "I was hacked" after his tour was cancelled people realized it can be dangerous when he uses it.

I don't know if it's true but...

On July 11th, RSO (Richie Sambora and orianthi) will release their new album, titled "Making History"! :)
The album will include two cover songs (Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" and Michael Jackson's "Black Or White") as well as the guest appearance of Alice Cooper himself! :)
"Making History" track listing:
1. Making History
2. I Got You Babe
3. Jump With Me
4. Never Again
5. Secret Of Love
6. Black Or White
7. Dangerous Road
8. Coldest Heart
9. Gods Of Strings (instrumental)
10. Truth
11. Done With It!
12. Scary Night (feat. Alice Cooper)
13. Miss You Like A Dog (Harriet’s Song)
The Japanese edition will also include:
14. Forgiveness Street
15. Our Secret Place

I really wish people wouldn't be quite so quick to believe the worst about Richie. :roll:

You might want to check that "off colour" tweet again, Cap'n. It was sent to Brooklyn Allman, apparently an inside joke since she's one of "auntie" Ori's good friends - not Richie's niece, and not 16.

Yes. She's in her early twenties isn't she? And daughter of Gregg Allman?

Yep, she's Gregg's daughter, mid-twenties, I think. 24, 25-ish? I just remember her from when Ori and Richie were with her in the studio some time back, working on her album, I believe.

Interesting. But it's not a double CD then. The Japanese Edition will bring Our Secret Place. Nice.

Yes! I remember that too....
I'm new to posting on this board, though I've read here for a long time.... Been following Richie and Ori's social media somewhat. Be interesting to see what's next..

Yeah, I've been wanting to hear "Our Secret Place" since before AOTL was released.

I hope it's true. Most of the titles sound legit, so I hope it's not somebody's idea of an April Fools' joke. The only part that sounds iffy to me is July 11. That's Richie's birthday and it won't be on a Friday, which is when I thought all new releases come out.

Guess we'll know soon enough...

And... another one bites the dust!

Well that answers that one... Forgot it was April Fool's day :D

It's interesting that there is no definite date for their album release... And also no more BJ tour dates announced yet...

Or...Maybe not that interesting ;) :)

Fair enough, I jumped the gun and took it at face value, I apologize.

No worries; we all do that sometimes. I just wanted to clarify, before it took on a life of its own and became a 'fact' in some people's minds. ;)

She could have told the tweeter the real date.....but I dont think they have one.

I don't think they do either. That's why I wish she'd stop bringing it up until they have some solid information.

Yeah she does seem to mention it frequently... Says that they are writing anyway. But have they recorded an album or don't we know?
I only see what she posts on her Instagram

I think the last I heard was in the Eddie Trunk interview. Richie said they had just finished the album the night before the interview, iirc. Trunk asked when it was going to be released and Ori was saying, "Soon" while Richie was saying, "Who knows with the way the industry is right now..." (paraphrased from memory)

So it would seem that yes, they have recorded an album; but the jury's still out on when it will be released.

Thanks for that. I hadn't heard that interview. Sounds like he's a bit unsure.
I guess he doesn't seem to use Instagram, whereas she posts several times a day - albeit mostly unrelated to their new music

I know its off topic but has anyone read Richies wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richie_Sambora

The section about being in Bon Jovi for 30 years is only 4 lines long. What a joke! Whoever wrote it is obviously trying to shift attention to his solo work.

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-relea...300436571.html

"I Saw the Light", a song written by Little Steven, Richie and Orianthi, will be on Stevie's album "Soulfire", out in May 19th.

Stevie says: "I Saw The Light" "I had half-written it for Richie Sambora & Orianthi but the next time I talked to him he had already written 40 songs so I didn't bother finishing it. I came across it as we were making my album and thought, I like this, maybe I'll finish it for me."

What's the point in going over the Bon Jovi history on his page, when all of the info is already on the Bon Jovi wiki page, which it links directly to. Of course it's going to focus on his solo work, as that isn't covered elsewhere.

Sometimes people just look for things to find the negatives in...

If I was interested in the Richies contribution to Bon Jovi, anecdotes, information or events specifically concerning his time in the band it would make more sense to have these on his page than having to trawl through the history of the rest of the band.

Yes. Sometimes people do just look for things to find the negatives in... But you certainly can't say condensing 30 years in the band (more than half the time Richie has been alive) into a 4 line stub is a fair representation of his career. It gives the impression the main thing Richie did was his 3 solo albums and makes it sounds like the guy just turned up to the odd Jovi show to play guitar.

There are some pictures of Richie and Bob Rock on jannarden's instagram. Just an FYI.

Jann Arden! Random! She was/is a household name in Canada. Bizarre to see her name in that context.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I wonder what he's up to with Jann.
I love seeing them work in the studio. Very cool!

Still no release date? Must be struggling for a label and distribution. Don't take 2 years to record an album.

new releasedate is september according to Orianthi

Tell that to Def Leppard/Guns 'n' Roses :-D

Of which both albums don't fair well with fans...
