Unfortunately I think that is very true. Except for Jon, it seems like the other guys aren't all that passionate about the new album. Hate to go back to the "CEO/employees" thing but I do sense it's gonna be the thing that ends this band.

Seeing that Edge comment makes me think two things.
1. Jon's balls finally dropped.
2. Jon is goading Richie to either come back, quit, or make some kind of statement to take a bit of the heat of the organization.
Also, while I am by no means "pro-Jon", this just keeps making Richie look worse. Obviously he doesn't "owe" anyone an explanation, but someone should really step in and tell him how horrible he looks from a PR standpoint. I mean, let's pretend he wanted to quit and go solo, what good will would he have left? Bailed on 3 straight tours and tweeted about ow awesome he was while people raged about his absence.

Three. As much as Jon wails about not being a nostalgia band, I think we get a Slippery 30th Tour.

I love that Dave and Tico seem to be enjoying this.

Maybe they should add GnR's 'Pretty Tied Up' to the set, just for the lyrics
"Once there was this rock n' roll band rollin' on the streets
Time went by and it became a joke
We just needed more and more fulfilling- Uh-huh
Time went by and it all went up in smoke"

They have all the right to complain. People here bought a ticket to see the whole band, and Richie just goes away. What's worse, while the band is on the eye of everyone, he's is happilly tweeting about guitars and driving her daughter to school. I know he has a life, but he made a commitment not only with the band but with the fans. He should have left on day one if he didn't wanted to be a part of it, if it was alcohol as some sources said, he's to blame and he should take responsability of the situation like the grown up dude he is.

Me encantan tus fotos hahaha. Me hace reír en todo este tinglao que hay

With Jon obviousley getting more and more pi##ed off with the situation and "leaking" little bits of info in his interviews, I can only agree with what you all are saying and its what I have been posting for a while, Richie has got to break cover and speak to both his so called "brother" and more importantly his fans with his intentions. if he wants out for f#cks sake say so, then we can all move on and try to come to terms with it.
Personal issues are PERSONAL and we have no business in that, but if indeed its a band "issue" then we as the very foundation of the Bon Jovi empire as in we buy the albums,we buy the tickets etc etc.....Need to know what the bloody hell has/is going on and what the future holds.......on the optimistic side it may just relight the creative spark between them and it may produce some GREAT classic Bon Jovi tracks that we all yearn for....
on the pessamistic side I think its GAME OVER for what we knew as BON JOVI and the only thing to hold onto is that im pretty sure there will be a reunion at some time down the long and winding path......

Whatever the problem/issues (unless it IS a personal one) we the loyal fans need to know!

Not quite...........

I know this interview is a few months old now, but Richie seemed upbeat and excited. "The Rolling Stones are our bench mark...I guess we'll be here for a long time".
