Richie is a prime example of why some people should always be working with a deadline.....

Some people need deadlines some people need managing and some people are born leaders etc. Most of the time we don't really know what we are and maybe Richie mistook himself for a leader and a frontman. Fair enough so did many of us.

But clearly he is at his best as a second guy, writing songs providing back up vocals and lead guitar. It's like his ex Ori. She is at her best when she is slinging guitar for someone else, her latest record is an improvement but still meh. At least she got nominated for the solo of the year which is better than anything she has managed since ditching Alice Cooper.

Richie and Jon should just agree to work together in the least. It's not a tall order to be honest. And both would benefit a lot.

It's too late for that.

Maybe. But only thing that can't be fixed about the scenario is Jon's voice. Which is bloody unfortunate to be honest.

Bands go on for years with members not talking to each other. I don't think Richie and Jon were ever that bad. And surely time has healed some wounds, too.

I have lost track if they are together or not. Both of her last albums seem to be about Richie. She just can't write a song to save her life unfortunately. I used to really like her when she was with AC. Her aloof stage presence was perfect and she can (still) play and in fact in her last record, I think she plays really damn well. But. Who cares?

These days all I want is to Richie to actually release an album and for it to be of decent quality. And my frustration gets the better of my and takes me off topic to her, due to all those wasted years that were RSO instead of Richie Sambora. Like I wrote earlier, why could they not simply agree that she slings guitar in his band? If they absolutely had to mix work and play to begin with. Meh sorry for venting.

i hear ya but its tough to blame her for wasting his time when he could be releasing albums. RSO was already almost five years ago and nothing since then. It's not like she was holding him back from putting stuff out.
