Also a lot of criticism about his live performances and listening to some of the you tube stuff can see why. Bon jovi will live on selling out the big stadiums etc. Richie will regret his decision one day. Jon said in a recent radio interview when asked if Richie could return that he didn't think that possible. One thing is for sure we all have different opinions on the matter but they are better together than apart.

In contrast, Richie's "Aftermath of the Lowdown" is somehow modern and classic at the same time. His shows at the Iridium were electric and amazing. I wrote a blog post about meeting Richie - hopefully you like it!<br /><br />http://isoldmysoultornr.blogspot.com/2014/12/seven-years-gone-meeting-richie-sambora.htmlMeghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10675116980998759313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483330837845516197.post-36661665647172558752014-12-08T04:00:46.268+08:002014-12-08T04:00:46.268+08:00AJS was fired and you cant compare him to Richie e...AJS was fired and you cant compare him to Richie ever.

I have loved Bon Jovi since the late 80's and I still consider them my favorite group. I have been to 20+ concerts and have enjoyed every one. I believe that Bon Jovi without Ritchie, or Jon, or Tico, or David is Not Bon Jovi! I may well have already attended my last Bon Jovi concert and that makes me very sad. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483330837845516197.post-75089241707615236802014-11-23T18:59:41.684+08:002014-11-23T18:59:41.684+08:00Hey, RS may never come back, but he may just also ...Hey, RS may never come back, but he may just also return should there be another album. I ain't denying all the pieces dont fit the puzzle but throughout this saga, <br /><br />JBJ has said that he is not "fired, quit". <br /><br />RS, has also said that he has is still part of the band. RS twitter page still says he is a "Bon Jovi Consigliere".<br /><br />The point i am trying to make is the media has continued to report that RS has fired / quit, when both JBJ and RS say otherwise. Until that happens.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483330837845516197.post-60554176984238102792014-11-23T06:45:55.399+08:002014-11-23T06:45:55.399+08:00you are in denialyou are in denialAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483330837845516197.post-22832830163381669772014-11-22T17:44:45.371+08:002014-11-22T17:44:45.371+08:00In relation to the JBJ interview, the question re...In relation to the JBJ interview, the question regarding RS was in regards to "The tour" not the future....he hasn't left the band....over it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483330837845516197.post-44293093791320890732014-11-20T20:05:05.943+08:002014-11-20T20:05:05.943+08:00Even tho I've enjoyed Bon Jovi for a few years...Even tho I've enjoyed Bon Jovi for a few years, WAN was the first tour I had $ and time to fly to a concert--one that unfortunately happened after Richie left. I'd see the band one more time if Richie returned but otherwise, no. I've seen so many live streams and video clips that the stagnant set lists offer nothing interesting plus having to sit in the nose bleed section is no fun. Granted he is still a good showman but it is annoying that the other band members get very little time on the arena screens and no time to highlight their talents (although the end of the tour featured nice "jukebox" section for Dave, Tico and Phil X). I don't think Jon is consumed by the music anymore; he is consumed by money. Big difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483330837845516197.post-70864028933192131812014-11-17T23:19:39.525+08:002014-11-17T23:19:39.525+08:00Nice to see that you are back. I enjoyed this pos...Nice to see that you are back. I enjoyed this post. You make several good points. First off, I think most of us are simply tired of Bon Jovi right now. They have become stagnant and the drama with Richie really wore on the fan base. It was not handled well at all. Personally, I do like the latest album although I think the single, "Because We Can" is one of the worst songs they have ever put out. Past that I do enjoy the album. What has really pissed me off over the last few tours and especially with this tour are the set lists. I feel there is no depth in the sets and it is the same songs night after night to the point where I wont even go see them any more. They do not have what I would consider long sets and the song selections always carry a lot of dead weight. I also think Jon's voice has gotten a lot worse and that has been a factor in the the poor sets. I think that this latest tour, maybe not so much the album but the tour for sure, was more or less done to strengthen JBJ's postion to buy an NFL team. Plain and simple. Frankley, this past tour sucked so bad that I hope they go away for a few years and come back strong with the core love of the music that they once put out. As far as the Richie issue, to me NO RICHIE = NO BON JOVI. Phil X is good, but he is not Richie and it is not Bon Jovi with Phil X. I dont blame you for burning out on the blog as I think you burned out for the right reasons. Being a Bon Jovi fan in recent memory as been challenging.

...You've been missed and your take on things. <br /><br />One thing he has in common with Richie... his heart is not with the band anymore. Or music. <br /><br />Now, I'm depressed.
