It still staggers me whenever I listen to Richie how much he thinks Bon Jovi is/was him. There is never any reference to Jon writing with him. In this interview when talking about Jon wanting to make a double record for New Jersey he insists that the pressure was on him. "For a guitar player that's 25 songs, 5 guitar parts per song...plus I had to write them...and then solos and then sing them. Dennis and I were good friends and I was venting to him saying 'man I can't come up with this much stuff'."

I find it hard to listen to.
