Sorry, but I just can't be against Jon in this time. Why? He doesn't gave me a reason for it.
We don't know the reasons (and probably never will) for all this shit, but if you compare Jon and Richie words and atittudes...

I'm very sad. Richie is my guitar hero, was my favorite member of the band...and it's hard for me to face that he's out. Very hard. He was an asshole(yeah, an asshole) in all the "contest" situation, and now he's acting like a little child...say one thing in interviews, others in twitter...why open your mounth (or fingers) to talk if you don't have anything to say?
He's not help himself. He's not help in the whole situation.

Sorry. Like I said, I'm very sad. It's just hard for me to imagine a statement like: "Richie Sambora is out of Bon Jovi." Very hard.
