Richie Sambora is Ready to Rock!

- As the premier season of the show comes to a close, Richie Sambora sends it off with a fun, free-wheeling episode that looks at his high-drama fingerwork on “Only Lonely” from Bon Jovi’s second record, 1985’s 7800° Fahrenheit. (The song’s music video is everything you’d ever want from mid-’80s hard rock.)
Richie joins Shifty subterranean-style, from his mother’s basement in New Jersey, where he’s equipped with a reverse-headstock Charvel, complete with a Floyd Rose system. It’s a busy time for Sambora: His first new single in 11 years, “I Pray,” dropped in late April, alongside a brand new, four-part Bon Jovi documentary.
For “Only Lonely,” Sambora recalls that he used just a 50-watt Marshall and a yellow Boss overdrive pedal to push it to the limit. Producer Lance Quinn captured the performance at the Warehouse in Philly in spring 1985, and Sambora hasn’t slowed at all since that day. Shifty takes a run at a few of Sambora’s blistering lead screeds before Richie takes the reins and brings it home. They don’t leave it at “Only Lonely”; as an added bonus, they run through Sambora’s famous licks from “Bad Medicine,” too.
Between solo runs, Richie talks about his current rig (no modelers for him, just old-school tube-amp goodness) and addresses the rumors: Will he rejoin Bon Jovi after 11 years gone?
See you on the next season of Shred With Shifty!

Please Richie!! You need to leave your legacy to new generation! Someone please give him a channel, school or teaching engagements to leave his genius gift for the centuries to come!! Love you Richie! God bless you!
It's mental hearing Jon saying, "Bonjovi wasn't a reliant guitar band, like ACDC or Van Halen"
Richie made Bonjovi super cool!
Without Richie, bon jovi was nothing… lets face it!!
Its true 🫠
Completely... his voice and song writing made them a proper group... my fav album is These Days... seems like Jon let him get on and play in that 1
Richie Sambora in Bon Jovi is what Ace Frehley is in Kiss.
In importance yeah, but Sambora is such a better singer!
Totally under rated guitar player. He seems like a cool dude
How can anyone NOT love this guy as well as his guitar playing?!?
That someone would be Jon Bon Jovi
Me, he’s a jackass, sorry if we disagree but not everyone will
he kinda sucks
Richie is why I play n sing today. I'm 46 and won't quit ever. Blessings from South Africa 🙏🏽🇿🇦
Richie is why I leaned the blues lol 😊
Forever Jersey Boy! Awesome guitar player.
The world needs Richie's music and soul
Kudos to Shifty for taking the time to redo it, with full respect to the guest, respecting his privacy and staying quiet patiently till he could finally do it - thank you!
Yes, waaaaaay better interview! I saw Jovi open for that same RATT Invasion tour, in Chicago!
Redo?
the first one from September 2023 was taken off YT after a couple of days
@@marekgitarzysta5193 Oh wow, was Richie drunk as fuck?
Yeah, he’s in way better shape than he was in the first interview and that’s cool! Happy to see it!
Stranger in this town was so good!!! Legend
Richie’s guitar playing is the Bon Jovi sound!!! He’s a master guitar player 👍🏽
All the best to your mom Richie: Just watched Jon Bon Jovi being asked by Howard Stern, who he thought was the best electric guitar player. He said Beck. Then he mentioned a few other greats. He never mentioned you. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Your in the top 10 guitar players of all time. Plus, you worked your ass off for the band for years. I was disappointed that Jon went into HIS OWN WORLD AGAIN. LOL...... I've been meditating for 46 years, every day, twice a day. As a vocalist, the stress gets released in my neck when I meditate. My neck spasms a bit. When the body goes into a deeper state of rest than deep sleep, the stress in the neck gets normalized. I sang 18 years in clubs, 3 to 4 nights a week, 30 to 40 songs a night. Good luck with your new CD/Album. I've been listening to it. Great interview/playing guys. Thank you.
Sambora es mi héroe del rock n roll
Great to see the old Richie back!!!
Thank you Chris for not giving up on Mr Sambo!! He is the reason I picked the guitar up....Total Legend! 👍🏼
Me too
Richie, Taking care of your Mom is a beautiful thing. I bet she is so happy to have you in the basement. haha
that is so sweet of him ❤️
He looks so healthy, vibrant and happy
He absolutely does. Good to see.
He has wasted tombstone eyes and speech. Sad what hardcore drugs, booze and age does to a man. Tommy lee, vince and Ace all have those wasted junkie eyes. Brains are fried.
For sure! Total 180 from the last time he was on here.
Ready for Rock!
Still depressing. He’s trashed or wacked out
What a pair of sweethearts - both Chris and Richie. And I loved hearing that Richie's first instrument was the accordion! That's amazing! Chris--we can't WAIT for Season 2 of "Shred with Shifty," although I can't forget your whispered tease that you've got an episode with Dave and Pat on deck! What a gem of a show that will be!!!
Richie is a genuine guy, he has no filter. ❤️
He's Soooo Jersey! I'm from Jersey love it ❤
A true rock legend.
And he doesn’t even have one gray hair. Amazing!
Richie is the reason I picked up guitar 14 years ago!! Thank you so much for doing this interview 🙏🏼
Sambora is one of the greatest guitar player of all time. His style is unique. Give to Bon Jovi life and sound.
His a little bit underrated, but He's the best
My guitar idol for more than 30 years. Glad they redid the episode :-)
RS never gets the credit he deserves as a player and writer. Total legend.
Oh c'mon, says who? He is #2 guy in Bon Jovi. The band is Jon's and everyone is aware of that. Richie made his millions for the songs and for the liver performances. What else should he have received that he has not? Not everyone can be the #1 person and that's ok
I'm not a big bon jovi fan, but I'm a fan of Richie...great ambassador to the guitar...his charvel sounds great...great vibrato...and he's having a great time!! He's obviously passionate as hell about it
Richie looks and sounds SO good! Kudos to Shifty for having a redo. ❤
Richie would be a great teacher. 😊
Runaway's guitar player is Tim Pierce.
Great interview! Richie is such a rippin' player. Great vibrato and feel. Hope you can get Warren DeMartini on the show, Shifty! Please make that happen. Always wanted to see more guitar-centric interviews from him. One of the tastiest players to ever come out of the 80s.
Sambora is an absolute shredder. A true legend. Great interview 👍
I’ve always been a 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit Bon Jovi guy but seeing Richie play Bad Medicine on this was amazing!
Family first and that is just extremely kind of him to take care of his mom! Cheers to Richie!
Sooooo goood to see him doing better! This is the guy we love!
Thank you for doing this . Richie is the reason I started playing guitar . I hope to meet him one day and thank him in person . He changed my life . I wanted a guitar and my parents would not buy me one so I went to cutting grass and washing cars so I could buy an axe . So he kept me out of trouble and taught me a work ethic . I've taken his music all over the world . I listened to his solo album Undiscovered Soul a lot on my Deployment to Iraq . Thanks again to you and Richie .
I met him after a gig in Dublin and he proved everybody wrong who says never meet your heroes. ALWAYS meet your heroes. Richie is a legend and was apprehensive to take a pic in the crowd and draw attention to himself but then he saw my aftermath of the lowdown tee shirt and pulled me aside and got his security guard to take a pic. A memory I’ll forever cherish.
This was actually a lot of fun! Kudos to Jon and Richie for making this happen. This was a real treat for us older rock guitarists.
This was so awesome! So cool to see Ritchie jamming in his mother’s basement! Omg I could listen to him play and talk all night! 🤟🏻
Best quote in any guitar Anthon thing " you make me sound so intelligent " tgat part was great well the hole things great but that was awsome
Time to write a book Richie. 😊
Melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos sem dúvida nenhuma
Richie is the reason i fell in love with guitar and wanted to learn to play...he is so talented and the most humble guy. I have had the pleasure to meet him a few times and he is a sweetheart😘
It‘s a pleasure to watch Richie playing guitar and being happy ❤️
Love richie my first guitarrist heroe 🤘🇲🇽
Richie seems to be in a much better place here. Great to see! He is one of my favorites from the 80’s. My band played a lot of their songs in the late 80’s when in high school. Still love the old Bon Jovi stuff. Much respect to Richie!
Richie looks much happier now! I'm glad he's in a good place. "Only Lonely" I was not expecting. It's not my favorite Bon Jovi album, but there are some bangers on '7800° Fahrenheit'!
Ritchie rocking the Positive Grid Spark GO 😆
Haha not about the gear for players like this!
I wonder if that sound preset he is using is available?
Great Show, Sambora is such a cool Cat..lots of Charisma
Glad to see Richie is finally speaking to the people! He's the heart and soul of Bon Jovi the band not the F street band Jon has been leading for the last decade. Very humble to be teaching his licks. Still love to this day 7800F and even the 1st album - have loved all those great solos for decades. Love them all. What a treat to hear Richie play Only Lonely. This is one of the best guitar players of his generation. Hope I get to see him live solo - not within a band reunion. Could hear all his solo songs/ covers... he doesn't need to play bad medicine ever again! His catalog is great. HIs two first solo alums are five stars.
Richie Sambora is the one player that pushed me to pick up a guitar. I play because of his performance on the Wembley VHS.His work is part of my life and his records are among the best records ever released…I still listen to Undiscovered Soul at least once a month…and I was there when it came out!!!thank you for this wonderfull interview
Me too!
I mean the 'Always' solos in Wembley are everything!
I knew Richie when he was in Message and also Rich sambora and friends he was always one of the best. He performed tunes from Frampton comes alive. Not too long after the album came out . Sometimes the covers he did better than the originals 🙂
I watched the Crush Tour dvd so much as a kid, Richie is a legend
Richie should have a podcast. A lot of stories
Awesome, Ritchie is a hard rock legend.
OMG they've redone the Richie episode and this time he's sober🎉
My Drean is play of Rechy Sambora
I heard it before they took it offline! 😲 🍺 he was smashed!
I know it's fun to make $#!tty comments online and be a keyboard comedian, but as someone who idolized him growing up, that was rough to watch. Why don't people just send good energy and hope he's healthy verses tearing people down.....🤔
For real? Where's the original, I want to see it?
@@iamjarrettdean9358 Good vibes brother. I wholeheartedly agree.
"Mom's basement" how many times have we heard that.😂
The "King Of Swing" Ladies and Gentlemen.Love that guy.
First saw Richie play with Bon Jovi in Glasgow SECC in 1988. Opened with Lay your hands on me, and listening to that song can still take me back there
You can't possibly comprehend how long i've wanted to see that Bad Medicine riff up close and slow.
(It always reminded me of that Money For Nothing riff.)
Thank you SO much for that!
Great, thanks for version 2! Love Jovi, Love Richie. His new songs are great. Legendary is catchy but shallow. They need their soul back 🙏🏻
This video was so much more interesting and educational than the Bon Jovi doc. Loved it.
That medicine part was gold
Great interview. Richie is a soulful & melodic player who fit perfectly into the band. Great singing voice too.
This is what the world needs!❤
Ritchie seems like such a cool down to earth guy!!!
I love the posters on your wall. WASP, the Foo Fighters and Ernest Tubb. That screams "I dont care about the genre, good music is good music."
Still remember the first Bon Jovi Show I watched, lisbon 2011, went because my uncle needed company, never heard of the band before, but as soon I went and witneess Richie musicality was in completely sold afterwards. Bonjovi gain another fan that night because of Sambora genious
Shifty that was one of the BEST interviews you've ever done, Richie is an Absolute Sweetheart and a True Musician , absolute ton of fun watching this , Thank You ! J... Toronto
Nice to see Richie in his home element. He seems to be very healthy and in a good place.
On another note....If you actually get Warren Demartini on your show, you are truly a GOD!
Richie is brilliant. Keep writing Richie, we love it. You make that shit talk.
Such a brilliant interview my brother. From NYC I thank you. -A
He's crispy for sure!! But I'd love to jam with him! He's what 'Rock-n Roll' was all about!
Listen, I have loved Richie and the whole gang obsessively since I was 13 in ‘86. But if you completely demolish a moment with someone, don’t just delete it and pretend it never happened. Own it, and explain you’re working on yourself and made a mistake.
I love you Richie. Glad you seem to be getting there. I’ve got demons too.
Thanks for giving him a second chance, Chris. It’s just a bit of a weird vibe to just pretend the first one never happened.
It’s still in the show credits, so they aren’t really trying lol
Much, much better! He seems like a great dude! I'm not a Bon Jovi fan but I appreciate the talent!
Sambora never got the recognition he should have because he was in Bon Jovi. Sambora really is fantastic
Now I've seen it all, Richie jamming in his mom's basement! So cool! You know, the Internet makes the world so small. Richie seems to be really healthy and his old rockin' self! Love it! Would love to see him live, can't wait actually! 🤟👍🙏❤
I could listen to Richie tell stories about recording all day long. I'd LOVE to hear him talk about Stranger in this Town recording process, the mix and reverb on that album is SO well done. Is it weird to have a favorite reverb sound? Cuz Stranger is mine lol
Man how cool of an interview.
Richie is a true lead guitar player.
Shifty just proves that FF are the ultimate coolest band in rock
GREAT SHOW!!! RICHIE IS SO TALENTED..HUMBLE AND FUNNY.
Richie being Richie. Ask one question and he'll give you seven answers over five minutes. I love him to death.
The whole time watching this interview, I was waiting for Richie's mom to yell from the top of the stairs "RICHIE...TURN THAT DAMN THING DOWN!"
The problem is that he never boasted about his talent, that he could play quickly and officially. But I've heard such amazing things... Ritchie is the best
I need to get my Fender USA Richie Sambora signature out!
i have a couple of strats and a beautiful marshall dsl 2000 all because of richie!. great player - great voice and great songwriter - total hero
Richie a cool dude, his vibe a real joy.
Great interview!
Time to take Jon to the train station and let the king of swing take over lead vocals.
Wicked singer and player ,Sambora is fully loaded!!
🤣🤣
You should definetly invite richie on the stage with the foo fighters, it would be awesome !!
Richie has such a great voice. He could sing those songs. His voice was a big part of the BJ sound. Plus he wrote a lot of those songs. Put Jon on acoustic guitar and percussion and banter. But I do hope John's voice and timing returns. The band is an amazing group of musicians! No reason for any of them not to go out and play their music. John's vocals were not happening so figure that out and get back out there.
Wishing your mom a speedy recovery, Richie! You're a good son to be there taking care of her. Hsppy mother's day to your mom! Just lost mine in December. Cherish these times.
Richie is the reason I play guitar. Still remember that One Last Wild Night concert on TV and me thinking "WTF is this guy doing".
Could spend hours watching interviews like this one.
Thanks shifty,best show yet & great to see Riche,like a lot of comments he is the reason I started playing guitar & now have a music career,I have met richie before & he is such a amazing person,went to shake his hand & he gave me a hug - he is so fricken cool & I love your super strat shifty 👍🎸🤘✌️
Richie has always had that dawg in him. Thanks for the awesome vid
Nice Henrik D signature axe! ❤️
Thank you I was looking for some else to notice that
Same…
I think it is awesome he is playing a Charvel especially a Henrik
Dude! Can't wait to see you back again for another season of shredding. Great interviews. Great insight. Just a really great job.
This is so great, respect to Chris for doing this again. I wonder if Phil X is watching and making notes😂
Saw y’all last night in Charlotte and man you fucking rocked. I loved that the whole 3 hours was foo fighters!!!!! Thanks for all you do!
Wow!! I finally found the Bad Medicine secret!!!!!
This is absolutely a great interview! We love you Richie! What a great guy and musician!! All the best! Hope we get to see you back up on the stage with Bon Jovi
Fun time spent. The "Bad Medicine" main song parts are so 1.Richie Blackmore 2.Billy Gibbons. Tons of tude on them!
Awesome interview - Richie playing on his sounds like those records - badass dude right there!
Saw the Foo Fighters on Tuesday and now this video on Friday. What a great week!!! Thanks Chris!
Love stuff like this. Richie is a legend 👌
Richie rules❤
Richie best guitarist ever.
