    Bottom line. This band ( all of them) made great music for all of us. Richie will be missed. He did it his way. Right or wrong doesn't matter. The band will go on. I wish them all prayers and happiness. We all make choices and should not judge one another. There is always more to each side. I give Jon kudos for not saying ugly things about his friend Richie. Love all of them. Prayers from Minnesota

    Has always been Jon's band...FACT. I've heard the members talking in interviews and they all say the same. I suppose that's fair, after all Jon created the band, so it should be his band. It just comes across to me that they made it seem like a BAND all these years until a few years ago anyway. But there's no way Jon could've done all this without Richie. So many inside politics in bands, KISS rings a bell.

Sambora on the other hand is a good song writer, great guitarist and was a good counterpart to Jon, but all those years of hard work and still partying just have worn him out. And it shows!

    I think Jon said it all when he called it a machine. I have heard that Jon can be difficult to work with, its basically his way or no way. Honestly, I am surprised Ritchie has lasted as long in the band as he has. I mean he is a super talented guy outside of being a guitarist but I think they just make each other better. Bon Jovi certainly is never going to find a better guitarist for the band than Ritchie that's for sure!

  • @sandrajohnson4487

    I've read these post new and old for a time now and it amazes me how many people 'don't know', Bon Jovi was always 'Jon's band', from day one!! Richie joined up with he and David first, then Tico..etc. So, think about it that way, because that is reality!! It was never Richie's band, nor did he create it, he 'joined it' !! He started whining after about 9-10yrs.or so, so Jon made him a 'founding member' !! Runaway was Jon all by himself with a studio band, it was a hit and 'Jon' formed a band. It is and always has been 'his band', so he wants perfection (for the fans) and the band members to show up for work !! Why is that so ...'horrible'? It also wasn't what Richie did, it was how he did it. If he wanted to stay home he shouldn't have made the commitment to tour, simple as that !! He should have never just, 'not shown up' one night at the last minute !! I felt so bad for the fans in Calgary, (and the rest of the band!!) not only was it last minute, it was so late they had to go on without a guitarist at all !! I've heard Richie say at least 5 different excuses !! He hasn't been with his daughter very much either!! He's on tour...huh? Oh and he's with Orianthi, she's a 20 something guitarist,and has also had her own albums, she's very good. I wish Richie well, but I'm not giving him a free pass for taking fans money and not showing up !! He was paid (a LOT) for an entire half of that tour and he wasn't even there!! He was so wishy washy as to whether he'd be back or not, he 'was paid' until Jon just had to say enough is enough !! It was also the 30 yr. mark, how dedicated!! He could/should have finished the tour 'he' signed up for, then did his own thing. To me, that speaks volumes as to how he really feels about 'his fans'. I wish him well, but he didn't do this the right way, plain and simple.

    • @Celio19891

      I'll always consider Richie as Jon's superior talent wise but after reading this info I gotta say he did indeed pull a huge dick move on his and the bands fans. As for his being wishy washy about whether he'll return to the band or not I think he needs to make up his damn mind already either he just needs a break from the band or he's leaving them altogether (which to me wouldn't be such a bad thing for him) but he needs to either shit or get off the pot. If he wants to leave then he needs to make it official already and stop wasting everyone's time with the maybe I will maybe I won't crap.

      Absolutely,also I'm literally stunned how many people defend this guy.''He needed time with his daughter,blah blah..'' I call BULLSHIT! The truth is,he's drinking and taking God knows what other substances,that's the real reason he left during the tour.If you watch the ''This left feels right''-dvd,he looks completely hammered,couple of months later he was arrested & convicted for drunk driving.During the 2011 tour,he had to be replaced because of ''personal issues''. In other words alcohol & substance abuse.Phil X came in and learned all the songs in 2 days,played his butt off & saved the tour!What happend?The fangirls were crying out,''we want Richie,come back!'' So Jon took him back,big surprise: he bailed again,Phil X had to replace him a second time & he has the nerve to trashtalk on Jon and the band! ''A Bon Jovi-concert without me,is like a Rolling Stones gig,without Keith Richards.'',can you believe this guy?!BTW:Keith Richards never bailed on his band in over 50 years!
      Another thing I really don't get,is why Orianthi left A.Cooper,put her solo-career on hold and is wasting her time & imense talent with this loser.Have you seen the live-videos with them?He's totally drunk,sings out of key,messes up the solos and looks literally like a hobo.She on the other hand is singing & playing the guitar like a goddess,which is no wonder,she's a total pro(A.Cooper said she's one of the best musicians,he worked in his career).He's also exploiting her positive,''clean'' image in order to get better press and is tapping into her fanbase.
      I really don't know what's more puzzling,the fact that she's so naive,let's him exploit her & ruining her credibillity/career or that some of the fans want him actually back in the band,after all the crap he did?!

He is human just like the rest of us. He made it known he was ready to slow down some but Jon wouldn’t listen to him. Richie was already in his 50’s when he left.

    Personally, I think it would be better if the media would stop acting like crows and let them settle this in private. Being harassed that way is not helping. It just fuels the situation even more. Jon and Richie have been best friends for more than 30 years, they shared everything on stage and behind it. They are both now in their 50s, Richie wants to explore his own way, he's an adult he's free to do what he wants. On his hand, Jon is keeping with his band with Phil and John Shanks as brand new addition. They are doing great so we should just leave them alone. If Richie wants to be back with the boys, he's the only one who should make the move. Our job as fans is to support them whatever it's gonna be.

As soon as he was able he was back up on that stage performing with the band and I don't think it's just cause he likes looking at Jon's ass lol.

      @@CB394 Sambora is a very underrated guitarist. Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and many others probably can't play Flight of the Bumblebee, either. Playing FOR THE SONG is what a true musician does, and no one cares about who can play the fastest 16th or 64th notes. Only guitar masturbation dorks worry about that stuff.
      Not only did Richie bring great guitar playing and songwriting to the band, he also brought a singing voice that is better than Jon Bongiovi's. Jon and Richie's vocal harmonies were excellent.
      I don't understand why people overlook Sambora's huge contributions to that band.
      They go on without him, but they do so on a lower level.

Jon is the admired and respected artist he has always been. Richie will always be just your average guitar player that had it made until he turned his back on Jon, David & Tico. Good Luck to him as he will need a lot of it. Go back to your make believe world I will live in the real world now. Bye

    • @doublep1980
      @doublep1980 10 років тому +6

      Are you people that downright naive?Jon is singing for 31 years,LIVE,despite the fact he suffers from allergic asthma.He doesn't use playback or autotune on the gigs,because he thinks it would be ''cheating''.Also Phil X,is not only 10 times the guitarist Richie is,he's also a total pro,saved the band twice(remember the 2011 tour were Richie had to take a break,because of ''personal issues'',namely cocaine & booze) & is also a very humble guy.The tour was the most successful in 2013.Also,when bands like Bon Jovi go on tour,they're planning this months ago,every member knows the schedule.There are over 150 people,who work in the tour crew,there's no excuse for bailing a running tour,jeorperdising the jobs of these people,letting down the fans & don't tell me you're buying this ''I wanna spent time with my daugther''-BS.Thruth is Jon & the band had it enough with his drinking/unprofessional attitude,that's why he left.
      Have you seen some recent live-videos/interviews of Richie?He looks like he hasn't been sober for weeks(or even taking a shower during this time),can't even play his own solos right,forgets half the lyrics & is mumbling around,trashtalking on the band.(''There was no freedom in Bon Jovi.''I was tired playing the same songs,every night.''',''I wanna be recognised as a solo-artist.'' )Funny thing is,2/3 of his setlist are Bon Jovi songs,because frankly nobody wants to hear his solo-material.
      Lately,in order to sell some tickets,he stuck like a leech on Orianthi,is using her to improve his image(she's known for her humble personality & is been praised by legendary musicians for her talent/professional attitude,while he's known for booze/coke/affairs), tap into her fanbase & he's parading this talented but sadly naive girl around like a trophy,in order to show what a stud he still is,it's downright disgusting.The saddest part is,Orianthi is way more talented as a vocalist/guitarplayer, and is wasting her talent with this has-been,everytime she sings/plays a solo,she makes him look like an amateur.Actually most gig-reviews are praising her,not him.(quote:''Orianthi definetly stole the show tonight from Richie & I would gladly pay double the price to see a solo-gig with her!'')
      P.S.Beeing a professional musician means doing your work,just like I do my job everyday,I have no respect for divas or drunks.Richie should take an example of M.Schenker & Slash.Both have a long history of drug/alcohol abuse but in the last 10 years,they cleaned up,they play better than ever & are very professional during their tours.
