No Richie on current leg of the tour

Or maybe he's interested in the band, the band has 3/4 members right now. You put all down to Jon and Richie but there're 2 guys up there that have been with the band since 1983. I don't know if you know their names.

My favourite band members are actually Tico and David. Tico because I drum too and he was my inspiration to start, whereas with David I think he is an amazingly skilled keyboardist with a great voice to match.

ezearis - You are exactly right.

Oh yeah, Tico Torres, he did not show up to the studio to record his drums in What About Now.

And David Bryan, he is not happy with the boss because it is a dictatorship, and Jon not give a shit what they think.

The Man, the only one Bon Jovi.

He didn't wanted to demo because he wanted to rest a year, then he did went to the studio and did record his drums in What About Now. And if David Bryan were so unhappy he would have been gone a long time ago.

Still, happy or not, they're still there playing. Not like Richie who disappointed all their fans in such a way that now they'd rather have a "new guy" than him.

Technically, Ronnie Wood was brought in a replacement for Mick Taylor.

Loving the tyrant Jon, no matter what, right?

So things are not fixed. Jon can not get away with it, Richie has 30 years in the band, Jon did something wrong, and Richie is gone.

Now make peace, not hate.

I want peace, the best thing that could happen is that Richie's back with a good mood so everyone could be happy but taking banners that can ruin a show isn't a way to make peace.

I think Jon is not what's getting easier to Sambora.

Bollocks! The best thing that could happen is for Richie to quit and never come back.

The man has SOOOO much talent. He needs to stop wasting it with Bon Jovi and the other shit he is doing. Not sure how this whole mess is going to end, but more than anything I hope Richie has never anything to do with Jon Bon Jovi again, and focusses exclusively on a different musical career...whether solo or maybe join/start a super group.

You love Richie no matter what. You have no interest in discussing the situation maturely, you just recite the same old comments over and over. Change the record (unless its to What About Now).
