Hypothetically - if Richie was going to come back....
 
Would you be willing to accept him back? After how he left and all the shit that went with it - I'm inclined to say no.

I would since his playing and vocal contributions are definitely missing.

Absolutely.

Even if he's a shelf of his former self. Even if he and Jon doesn't interact much anymore. Even if his backup vocals won't fix Jon's lead vocals. Even if I hate his guts these days. Even if Phil is awesome.

The music should always (if possible) be played by the people who made it. I still follow the band (even though Jon is making it very hard with his recent performances, but I never fully accepted them as "BON JOVI" without Richie.

I would say no, though it would be a tough decision.

Yes........

I hate the guy right now. But I'll totally take him back, specially if Phil could stay as a second guitar. I really miss his backing vocals.

I would too - the magic of Jon and Richie's voices is really missed, by me anyway. That said, if that ever happened, keep Phil anyway. He is a breath of fresh air.

Bruce kept Nils after Stevie came back and that was almost 20 years ago. Seemed to work for them.

Considering Jon's shelf life as a singer is slowly fading, I'd say yes... However, I'd want Phil to stay too...
