Also - it showcased what a limited player he is.
That movie made me become a fan of Jack White though. Huge admiration for that guy...

Ha! That's my favorite part. And where he goes to his school.

Also Jimmy Page's epic hair.

Sounds? serious?. The Edge can not do neither solo as Into The Echo. Let's be honest, Jon always had a Ferrari (Sambora) and does not want to step on the accelerator. Jon is silly, I'm sure Bono would give anything to have a guitarist like Sambora.

That's a very very strange example to use and a very odd analogy to back it up.

414 pages of speculation and bullshit

:puppydog:

That might be the dumbest comment in the history of the internet. I think U2 is doing just fine with The Edge.

I'm a fan of both Bon Jovi and U2, and I think both band's guitarists play a huge role in identifying their band's sounds.

Sorry, maybe this old video will cheer people up.

Uhmmm, I don't know, this stuff's bittersweet nowadays, man! Plus, I was right there and saw it all unfold in front of my eyes... and then "Always" started and gaaah, are you trying to turn me into a puddle? LOL

It's not that old, only the last tour toward the end. Incredible show - my husband was tired of the same old setlists and that show had him doing a 180 degree turnaround and loving the band again. Great memories.

They really need to start playing Lie To Me more often, is one of their greatest ballads.

Eh, opinion. I think it's one of their most boring songs.

I loved it, in particular the hamrmonies between Richie and Jon, looks like we wont be hearing it for a long while then.....and it was recorded when Jon's voice was a lot better.

This is a statement I strongly disagree. And as a proper U2 hater. I can't stress enough how a HUGE element of the U2 sound is The Edge. He might not be the most technical guitar player out there, but in terms of creativity and creating textures for the songs, he is in a league of his own. Richie Sambora might be a very decent player and songwriter, but as we can see from the Phil X thing, it's not the hardest thing in the world to replace him in shows in a short notice. I'm pretty sure it would be impossible to do the same thing with The Edge.

Nout from Richie yet then? He will wait till Jon is on stage tonight, then post something!!

Matt is on twitter now.


I sent him a message that said this: We don't need a Buick. We Want Sambora back.

Matt answer:
Blah blah blah. Same old shit oozing from morons.

It wasn't necessarily a reply to you. It's a tweet on its own, so you can't be sure. He could also be referring to that gal pretending to know what's going on and saying stuff about Jon's ego and Richie's self respect, or some other stuff as well.

Also I sent him a "teddy gift". You know.

Its more likely that a member of the Jovi family will let slip on whats really happening rather than Richie himself.

Actually, it's been said, someone from the backstage said that it was alcohol related issues. And then Bobby Bandiera confirmed this the very next day saying "i heard he's getting himself together". I don't know why people still don't want to believe this when it was said more than a month ago.

If there's a fight, it was caused by this. Richie got drunk, couldn't get to the concert, Jon said he didn't wanted to see him until he got himself together.

When was this talked about ? First I've heard of it.

I didn't know about Bobby's quote. Was it discussed here? I think I've read all of this thing. LOL Although, "get oneself together" could be read in a lot of ways. Your scenario is likely, but it's not like it's a given, I think the matter's still very open. Plus, Jon's supposed words seem to paint a different picture. Why would he mention Richie quitting the band or hating him? I don't know, it just doesn't totally add up, in my opinion.

Total Bollocks.

I remember reading this here... was a friend of you who talked with Bobby in some kind of gala I can't remember?

I heard about Lorenza also saying that no one was getting fired from the band and haven't heard anything about a fight, that Richie just had to take care of some personal issues. I think she said that on her FB page

Yeah, she did somehow deny the rumors, although she didn't specifically go into details or anything. She was mostly just replying to someone's harsh comment on a picture she had on her page. It was a picture from a one-off show, featuring the usual set-up of her, Jon, Bobby, etc.... And this person said something to the effect of: "this is what Bon Jovi shows will be like in the future" or some non-sense like that. She didn't like the intrusion at all.

Whos your source........................

So these photoshops...

The post police are out. Who pissed in your cereal ?

It was Bobby. Hence, the soft spot. ;)

Haha no doubt.

I agree.... wow. Tearing up every time damn it!

So, Rob (Fuzesi) has just posted this on Facebook with the status: "In That Kind Of Mood! :) " Not sure if it means anything at all in reference to Richie coming back, but it could keep us going for a few pages.

nice response!!!

Like 200 pages before :p

In my opinion, because of the same reason he denied the money issues: because there're rumors saying that and he wanted to put them down.

Yes, in that gala where Jon played before the South Africa dates.

I know it's silly, but it DOES feel like that. LOL It's like every day we have a little something new to "keep us going" for a while. Some weird stuff at times, none the less. This really sounds like a hint. Then again, it could totally be a badly timed coincidence.

Thanks for sharing.

No, I'm talking about the last interview, where he basically says Richie should make up his mind about either giving 100% to the band or saying that he hates his brother (Jon) and quit the band. If anything, he's fueling the rumor, not putting it down!

You're welcome :) And I know what you mean about there's a little something every day, almost like a soap opera at this point. I guess yesterday was a big something though with Jon's "Edge" comment, lol.

Along the lines of reading into everything. Someone commented was that because Richie is coming back? Robert liked that comment, someone else said that you can't post stuff like that without people thinking sambora, he didn't deny her and now he has quoted a line from the song.

Yeah, we tease him a lot cause we got him on the spot, Welcome Back.
