Remember when this thread used to be funny?

I don't know if people realize this or not, but we still know absolutely nothing more than that very first announcement in early April, stating "Richie Sambora will be absent for this leg of the tour".

You hear that?

WE STILL DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!!!

Your right, we still have NOTHING official from BJ or Richie. But, if you'd like to search Nikki Lund, I didn't bother to grab the link, her fashion site has words that she and Richie will be in Japan well in time for their Aug. 27
on line shopping debut (sounds like going early.) Then she said they are off to London to talk to buyers and in Sept. Chicago for the dept store chain in the mid-west they are going into with their fashion. Sounds like Nikki has Richies time booked pretty well. I guess his "hopes" were just that.

Knew when she started up last May that it was not a good sign. Hair on the back of my neck. Keep hoping I'm wrong but D$%#, keep proving me right.

Shame all of us have been here, most hoping that the band would not fizzle in such a shameful way, I suspect both sides have made major mistakes but... no one is going to man up a this point.

How do you get those figures? Seriously... I want to know because it's not in any of my thread tools that I'm aware of.

Well I'll be. I'm still at work yet managed to miss page 1000. Dammit! Was there a party? :)

Nope - I never thought it would go this far. There must be more "trouble in paradise" than we are aware of. My husband has turned completely off Richie, he was a huge fan right down to one of the guitar tattoos. Now he says that Phil did a great job and should be rewarded with the position.

It's sad but Jon and the rest of the band did what was right - Richie didn't. It will be interesting to see who plays guitar on the next leg.

I wish Richie would just announce that he's quit the band already so the speculation could end and we could all move on. I agree that Phil should get the position if Richie's out (and it seems pretty certain that he's out).

Yeah, or if he hasn't quit, Jon announcing he's fired because it's just reached the stages of mediocrity.

I certainly don't think, with or without Richie, the band should call it a day. But then I'll never believe they should as long as the original members still have it in them to put on a great show.

Let's be honest the whole band is well past it's best. Glimpses of brilliance at the live shows but the albums have been throw away for years. Sad but true. This is just another nail in the coffin. Glad to have seen them in their prime and lucky to have witnessed some killer shows. Richie is trying something different. The only sad thing is that he ain't got the balls to publicly state it's over.

Yup - my sentiments exactly. Wish all the band the best - time to move on and if there's a comeback, then make it a good one. Looking forward to Richie's next album!

Richie Tweeted:

Low country blues by Gregg Allman.... The best ever... So amazing.. God bless you and your brother...

Can we already say that it's the end??

"Baby ain't it funny how you never ever learn to fall
You're really on your knees when you think you're standing tall" :cry:
