No Richie on current leg of the tour

What about 'I don't give a shit, Bon Jovi stopped making good music in 1995 so it makes no difference to me' mode??

Where's the option for: Any Faith In The Guy Ruined: Richie has shown himself to be a complete tit so I really don't care what he does now but hope Bon Jovi goes on without him?

It's all about the music I know, but when I see those three friendly neighbours in that pic, it makes me wonder, what happened to these guys here. Surely it's not the same band!

"What about now..", man that name fits too well for this year.

What if Jon wanted to get the record out and the band on the tour fast because he found out that he was severely ill and there's not much time for him left? He didn't tell anyone but then Richie figured it out and got mad since his "brother" had kept it as a secret... and that's how Jon's voice hasn't been too good and that's why nobody's telling anything - Jon doesn't want to and Richie can't tell because his "personal issue" is actually Jon's personal issue.

Mind is getting very twisted at this point

They grew up. Happens to the best of us.

Really? What about:
"I will never grow up, I will never grow old, blame it on the love for rock 'n' roll".

I think what happened is that the love for rock 'n' roll died a little, and the love for the dirty stinky ca$$$$h replaced it. More than age, that's the difference between the two pictures.

So, they stopped making good music in 1995, yet you joined here in 2002 and have over 8,000 posts.

Makes sense.

This.

My personal hope is that whoever does replace Richie actually is a talented songwriter, and becomes a member of the band. None of this Hugh crap. Alec was fired, but was loyal to Jon and didn't act like a little bitch about it. Richie can go piss off at this point.

I love how this thread thinks they put 2+2 together and now is bashing Richie when there is no official statement.

Luckily there's not much more tour left so we can maybe find out what is going on

If they were 50+ yr old guys still acting like 30 something yr old guys that would be a whole different problem. Is it that they're smiling and not brooding?
