Just listened to When You Were Beautiful and love it or hate it, it has more complexity than a lot of the What About Now tracks.

However I hold Richie firmly to blame for this trainwreck of a tour - if he was there I'm sure the shows would have gotten infinitely better and the setlists too. I don't really care if Jon pissed in his wheaties or what, but every single thing Sambora has done since seems to be petulant and childish.

That being said, I want my band back together. All of them. And with what will likely only ever be one or two albums left in them if they can get their shit together. I want it to be good.

Put WAN on yesterday for the first time in ages and I don't hate it. I'm just indifferent to it. Disposable and passable pop rock. It sounds rushed and it sounds like it was written in 20 minutes. It's not what I expect or want from Bon Jovi.

I think Beaky has posted a lot of sense but frankly, I've long since given up on Jon and Richie. If we ever learn the truth, there will be blame on both sides. That's the nature of arguments. But I'm not losing sleep over two middle aged multi-millionaires having a spat especially when they've not churned out an album that's worth listenting to in 15-20 years. If they never make it up, I really don't care.

Raising my hand as I love WWWB! I think we all are saying the same thing. Jon is a workaholic the other guys were all doing their things and Jon pretty much created an album that should have been a solo.

I still think Richie is at fault for running away to jam with fabric BUT I am sure the dynamics of something put it in motion. Jon may be talented but part of the whole cluster is he is CEO and no one tells HIM what to do - this whole *ask Richie* is wearing thin, almost as thin as the crappy clothes he is selling.

If they put out another album for the first time ever (I am old and fell for them during Runaway) I will not buy it unless there is something that shows me they are not just churning crap out so they can tour. Really disgusted.

I understand "they" want it to be about the fashion but this just continues to get to me. I miss the music/guitar man.

"**Interviews must be conducted with both Nikki and Richie simultaneously; separate interviews will not be granted."

Guess since they can only do interviews together Nikki is afraid she won't be able to control what Richie says. Maybe she's afraid he will be asked about leaving BonJovi and she won't be able to control the whole situation and Richie may actually be able to answer for himself instead of what she wants the answer to be.

luceknight · #**11077** 10-09-2013, 02:41 AM

the fact that NIKKI wants/has to control what Richie has to say about Bon Jovi makes me so ****ing angry you have no idea....

Let's all take a short break and appreciate again the awesomeness of These Days by Richie...
