Q. What’s the dynamic between you and Richie Sambora now? There’s been a lot of smack talk between you two in the media.

JBJ: I have to give the same answer, because it’s a personal issue he’s working through. There was no fight. It certainly isn’t about a fight or money or anything to do with that. And his place on the plane is waiting for him when he’s worked through these issues. The dynamic certainly hasn’t changed [with him] from the perspective of me, [drummer] Tico [Torres] or [keyboard player] David [Bryan]. So once he works his way through this stuff, he’s welcome back. In the meantime, we couldn’t not go to work because of it. It’s not fair to me, it’s not fair to the band [and] it’s not fair to the crew or to the fans.

Thanks for that!

It's probably worth noting that they say this interview was given while on tour in Manchester. That show was on June 8th, so that means this interview should be about a month old (before Richie's video interviews, latest tweets, etc.). I don't know why they wait so long at times to publish interviews. Still, it's refreshing to read, I especially enjoyed the part about the perspective that hasn't changed for any of the Guys.

This whole sorry saga has really brought out the worst in a lot of fans. So called "Jon fans", "Richie fans" and all that shit. What happened to being a Bon Jovi fan rather than taking sides in a stupid imaginary fight? Seeing a lot of comments from so-called fans on social media is pretty depressing.

I agree I don't understand this taking of sides and name calling especially when you don't even know what the truth is in the first place. But because some source said other than the main characters it must be true

THIS.

This is exactly right. What happened to it being just about the band and more importantly the music? The level of Jon vs Richie is embarrassing on for me as a Bon Jovi fan to the general public and it's making the tour so toxic.

I'm a Jon fan (if you have to slot me into a field) but I want what's best for the band and I want Richie back, IF he wants to be there. For the meantime I'm supporting the rest of the band until this gets resolved, no matter who is right or wrong.

It's really that simple for me.

Agreed. I'm a fan of the band, not just Jon or Richie. I just happen to believe that Richie's handled this unprofessionally and Jon has done nothing wrong. But that doesn't mean I'm a Jon-worshipper or a Richie-hater. That's just what I think from an objective viewpoint.

According to a Richie fan on twitter there is an article on the Chicago Tribune website that states Richie won't be there tomorrow - which made all the Richie fans estatic. Tried to get into see the article but you have to have a subscription to get to it. Someone also sent a tweet to Phil X to see if he was going to be in Chicago but he hasn't answered.
