No Richie on current leg of the tour

wrong post, sorry.

When Richie is interviewed away from the band, he sound like a pretentious buffoon.

Jon at least can be professional in the way he presents his thoughts.

It wasn't fun, yet he's been playing The Distance the past few solo shows. Okay Rich.

What I recall with regard to the Bounce album is that Jon once said that he would have thought from start to finish that Bounce would have been a massive hit and was surprised that it wasn't. That adds credence to the theory that it was a very calculated album.

Richie's comments on Bounce were extremely disrespectful to the people who bought the album and supported the tour. Richie really needs to spend more time rehearsing and less time yapping.

I didn't remember that comment. He is totally deluded if he believes that his record is so much different from BJ post 2000 crapfest that are some of the records.

Still, bashing Bounce? What a douche. "I don't like to rehearse." he says just afterwards. Give the man 2 minutes and he destroys any good image anybody could've had of him.

You know it's a sad day when you think better of Jon than of Richie.

I agree. I've always preferred Richie in the past because he seemed more chilled and nicer than the serious dictator Jon.

Nowadays Richie comes across disrespectful and sometimes plain stupid.

My question is, if Richie's been so unhappy since Bounce, why did he stick around for the next decade? Is he so greedy and artistically corrupt that he will make music he doesn't like (since he's the creative mastermind, afterall) just to bring home the dollars?

He's coming across as more and more of a douchebag every time he opens his mouth. I hope Jon, Tico, and Dave move on without his arrogant, ignorant ass.

Tough times to be a fan of Richie :-/
He's destroyed his image totally...
