Default Richie Interview (Birmingham Mail 30/05/08)

There was a small interview with Richie during a preview of Jovi's Ricoh show next month featured in yesterdays (friday) Birmingham Mail:
(sorry mods if this has already been posted, please delete if it has! )


Rock band Bon Jovi will soon be taking the Lost Highway to the Midlands.
The veteran band, whose latest album, Lost Highway, inspired the name of the tour, play Coventry's Ricoh Arena on June 24th.

And they plan to ensure the trek around the UK will be recorded for posterity.
"We're going to film a couple of shows from the tour and see what we come up with. We'll probably put out a DVD," confirms guitarist Richie Sambora.
"There has also been some talk about shooting a documentary, bout relevancy and what the band means on a world scale. And we realise we should start documenting some of this stuff because a lot of other bands in our position, although there's not many, only a handful, have done much more film work than we have."

"And we've been kind of a little bit closed when it comes to that. So we're contemplating opening up a little bit and letting the cameras in, but it's not an easy thing for us to do."

Formed in 1983 in New Jersey, the Jon Bon Jovi-fronted group has sold over 120 million albums worldwide. They broke through in 1986 with the album Slippery When Wet, followed two years later by New Jersey. Lost Highway demonstrates a more country side to the band:
"I think it's just evolution," says Richie of the musical style changes over the years.
"Obviously, every album is different. Different themes for different songs call for different stylistic measures from everybody that plays in the group. It's just a kind of conglomeration of all of our years together."

Thoughts have not yet turned to the follow-up to Lost Highway, Richie admits:
"Because of our tour schedule and everything else, it's really hard to write on the road. We've got to get away from each other and live our own seperate lives and do our own separate projects to be able to come back with something fresh for the new record."

Is he lying, especially from a longevity standpoint.
I believe the DVD when I see it.

I can't see them releasing another UK gig, or stadium gig for that matter. I would imagine any possible release would be from one of the MSG dates.

BON JOVI - LIVE IN COVENTRY!


I'd buy that....no, really.


At long as at least half an hour was dedicated to the tour bus going round and round that sodding ring road.
