That's true but he didn't have to. His pot stirring tweets took care of that.

It was more hypothetical. I really thought he had posted articles in the past but looks like I was wrong, my bad.

No worries, thought I may have missed something.

Just want to add that at one point during all this Matt was defending Richie against those talking shit. He's a complete tool, but that is a fact. Obviously those sentiments have changed.

Maybe not on Richie's behalf, but all the pictures of him with Richie seem to add validity to his actions? He's offering his version of proof that he is on the inside. Terrible PR, at least for the music fans.

Well, that shit article gained more traction than Richie's shit song!!

As someone already said, he can't be fired from a tour he's not playing in!! Sounds like Jon is not letting him back in and why would he??!! With such a minimal amount of tour left, letting someone that willfully bailed and left them high 'n' dry without a lead guitarist for a night and has proven to be as unreliable as he can be when honoring commitments back in the tour that's nearing its finish??!! They're better off resolving whatever shit they have to deal with after the tour is done and they've had time to sort shit out....

Of course he is on Richie's "side". He works for him. Everybody knows that...It doesn't mean anything. It would be dumb if he wasn't on Richie's side.

I hope he does return to Bon Jovi, honestly, but Richie doesn't deserve to come back on this tour. He's acted like a baby. When/if he mans up, he can come back for the next album cycle (hopefully after a bit of a break).

Wishful thinking. I don't see it happening.

Matt's a twat.

Can we close this thread on that note?
